other diplimatic circles the cablegram
was not so interpreted. The message
was the first the ambassador had re-

weeks.
In diplomatic quarters today 1t was
believed that should Turked declare
war on the allies and send ships into
the Persian gulf, England would ask
the Japanese to take steps to protect
British interests in Persia and expel
the Turkish invaders. Japan's apepar-
ance in the Persian gulf would be but
an extension Of her action under her
alliance with England. An attack on
Persia by Turkey would be blow at
