SECRETARY OF STATE ISSUES
FINAL STATEMENTS REGARD
ING FIRING At LAUNCH.
HELMsMAN OF VESSEL
INDIFFERENT TO WARNINGS
Turkish Explanation Says Third Shot
at v. S. Naval Launch Was Neces-
sary to Stop Boat From Running
Directly Into Mine Field-Turk Com
mander Expresses Regret.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna
lays all responsibility for the firing
upon the cruiser Tennessee's launch to
the indifference of the helmsman Of
the launch" who, it is said, did not
heed warnings Of the presence Of
mines.
Secretary Bryan today issued a sup
Elemental statement on the Tennessee
incident, based upon the latest COM
munication from the Turkish minister
of war to Ambassador Morganthau in
Constantinople
THE war minister's reporty"-tfIe
statement said, states that he ascer-
tanned from the commander Of Smyrna
that two blank shots of warning were
fired first and that the sentinel after
waiting two minutes was obliged to
fire the third shot in the direction of
the launch, which latter shot was
merely to prevent the helmsman Of the
launch from holding his course which
would lead directly on mines at the en-
trance of the port. and to rescue him
from very certain danger. The COM
mander at Smyrna expresses very gEaet
regret that such an oblig ration was pre-
sented to the sentinel of the port, which
he attributed to the indifference of the
helmsman of the launch
Secretary Bryan said this latest re-
port closes the incident.

Washington, Nov. z7.-Presidene
Wilson has communicated unofricially
to the diplomatic representatives Of the
United States In be11igerent countries
of Europe. his disapproval Of attacks
by bombs from aircraft dropped on un<
batants.
The president was careful not Ia.
take the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication thru
tho state department but personally
addressed the American ambassadors
abroad. The president took this COURSE
1t became known today. nearly tive
months ago. The facts came to light
thru the publication Of = report thae
the president had discussed the matter
with European diplomats here. This,
however. was denied by some OF the
diplomats mentioned. including the
German Ambassador.
Refers to Hague convsneion.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were TO convey President wal
sons feeling in tho matter to the fof@
eign governments was not disclosed -
White House officials, In tho Absonc0
of the president, declined to discuss the
subject.
1t is believed, however. that the press
ident called attention to the article In
The Hague convention OF 1907. to which
all the principal belligeren arc sigma

twenty-four hours before bombardmene
or attack. IN order that non-oombAt-t

Whether there have been any official

with such discretion and delicacy -

States feels toward all the belltEerent8
involved.
American Government Not Involved.
It Ia not believed that the president
mentioned any specific violation but
expressed his Views on the general subs
ject OF aerial attacks. Thru the unofs
fetal character Of the communication
1t was intended by the president to
bring about better understanding
about aerial warfare without actually
involving the American government IN
the matter.
1t is supposed that the American
diplomats used their good offices cons

belligerent governments. without. per-

they were doing SO at the request OF
the president. as such methods OF OBJ
tanning desired end are not unusual

punishment would be meted out to the
offenders. :
Minister Betancourt pointed on. that
the wireless station complained of was
now under government censorship in
the same manner as wireless stations

the most active efforts OF the govern
ment to maintain it's neutrality at all
costs one of the bell!gerents may have
succeeded in erecting temporary wire

TURK EXPLAINS SHOTS.
Bryan Gets Explanation 40 to incident
Of Tennsssee's Launch.


Washington, Nov. 27-Thee launch
from the American cruiser Tennessee
whict attemted to. enter. shs clossd
harbor of Smyrna, was siSnaTed that
It was approaching mine field before
shots were fired as warning to the
little craft, according to the explana-
tion of the Turkish minister of war to
American Ambassador Morganthau.
This was announced by Secretary Of
State Bryan last night.
Mr.. Bryan said he had received from
Mr.. Morganthau note addressed to
war, recording a previous conversation
with reference to the Tennessee Incl
dent
The note." Mr.. Bryan said. contains
the statement from governmental Of
ficials that the shots were fired after a
signal had been given to prevent the
launch from approaching mines, and
they were not fired in the direction of
the launch
Mr.. Bryan said he could not tell from
the message whether the Turkish min
lister of war made the formal explana-
tion in response to the representations
which Mr.. Morganthau had been in
structed to make, but he believed fur
ther dispatches would clarity this point.
1t is not thought possible. however.
that the note transmitted to Mr. Nor
ganthau could have been the formal
answer Of the Turkish government to
the representations, as ordinarily that
would be made by the grand visier, who
is in charge Of the Turkish foreign Of
flee.
Some recent messages from Con-
stantinop1e have been so garbled in
transmission tho that officials thought
the note might have been transmitted
thru the Turkish foreign office from
the Ottoman war department, which
investigated the matter.
In any event, Washington officials
are awaiting further information be-
fore making reply. However, it is un-
derstood the explanation is regarded
as satisfactory and the incident is re-
garded as practically closed.

LATIN LANDS WANT MORE TRADE.
Ask U. 8. to Aid in Barring Warshps
Of Nations From Waters.

Washington, Nov. 27. The United
States government has been asked by
the principal countries Of South Amer
lea to cooperate with them in nesotia-
tions with the warning nations of Eu-
rope to bring about the exclusion OF
all belligerent warships from the wa
ters OF the two Americas and to safe
guard the trade of pam American coun-
tries with one another.
While the proposals are different In
character and scope, they all seek the
same end-the restoration Of the trade
between North and South America,
paralyzed by the European war. The
movement also has for its object the
, removal Of possible causes OF serious
friction between the countries of this
hemisphere and the European belliger-
ents on questions Of neutrality
The various plans thus far formal
ily communicated to the United States
are as fololws:
First--The establishment Of neutral
zones on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
of North and South America within
which the belligerents shall be asked
to agree not to engage in hostilities or
interfere with commercial vessels.
meridian would be designated as the
limit in each case.
Second-The convocation of a gen.
eral conference Of diplomatic repre-
sentatives and commercial delegates of
all the countries Of this hemisphere
with powers to vote on steps which can
be taken to protect and restore Pan
American trade.
Third-The appointment by the Pan
American Union of q commission to
recommend steps that would remove
dangers to American trade.
Fourth-Prohibition by al nations
of the two Americas Of the privilege
hitherto exercised by belligerents Of
coaling in neutral ports, or the issuance
Of only sufficient quantity of coal
to enable a belligerent vessel to reach
the nearest port Of another country.
Already some of the powers of Eu-
rope have been sounded on these prop
ositions, and it is understood that
Great Britain is ready to deny it's war
ships entry into Central and South
American ports to coal If :he United
States approves the proposal and other
belligerents agree.
The calling of a conference thru the
governing board Of the American
Union has been widely discussed as an
instrument FOR. joint action by the ma
tions Of the two continents and If de-
cided. upon the convention probably
