TURKS WILL NOT PAY BOND INTEREST
Only Those Who Present Themselves at Ministry of
 Finance Will Get Money.

London, Nov. 27.-A dispatch from Constantinople says it has been an nounced officially by the minister of finance that the interest on the loan of 1909 will be paid only to such bondholders as present themselves at the central office of the ministry of finance"
 The Constantinople announcement refers to loan of $31 ,S00,00O issuea at per cent in 1909. Interest is pay able semi-annually, the next payment being due December 14. The action of the Turkish finance minister means that interest payments prob ably will be suspended on the bulk of these bonds, which are held abroad as their owners would find it almost impossible to go to Constantino2le to make collections.
 Of this loan, $lO,O0O,O0O was taken in London by J. s. Morgan & Co.,, the London house of J. P. Morgan X Go of New York; and by the Imperial Ot- toman bank of London. Most of the remainder was placed in France, al- though some Of these bonds were marketed in Germany.

NO PROTEST FROM
 U. s. TO EUROPE
Bryan Denies Report That Government Had Acted
 as to Aerial Bombs.

Washington, Nov. 27.-"We have not protested or made any representation to the belligerents against the attacks by aerial bombs."
 In this way Secretary of State Bry- an today disposed of report that President Wilson had protested to the belligerent nations of Europe against aerial bomb attacks, and that such attacks had therefore been abanoon- ed.
 As indicating the falsity of the re- port. it was recalled at the state de- partment that within the past few days bombs had been exploded in front of the American consulate in Warsaw, shattering it's windows and killing persons on the street.
 Secretary of State Bryan said all that had been done by this govern ment was that the state department had made inquiries of it's own diplo- matic representatives in Europe, merely to ascertain the damage to property in which Americans were interested.
