TURKS FIRE UPON
AMERICAN CRUISER
Continued From Page ~

of Smyrna. Officials say this MAJ
have been to warn the ships agains
mine fields in the harbor.
There has been considerable un
easiness about the Tennessee and al
so the North Carolina. her sister ship
since they went to Turkish waters t.
look after the interests of Americans
at the end of their voyage to the
European continent with gold FOL
stranded tourists. Reports Of mis-
haps to both ships have been frequent
and have. always been disproved by
official dispatches.
Ambassador Morgenthau's reports
Of internal conditions in Turkey since
the Ottoman empire Joined the due
alliance in the war on the entente
powers convinced Off Gals here II
would be well to have both ships re
main in the Mediterranean for the
present. and both have been going
from port to port in Turkish waters
or those nearby.
Uneasiness Exists.
So far, Ambassador Morgenthau's
reports concerning the safety o.
Americans have been reassuring. Ar
undercurrent of uneasiness was ere
ated, however, early this month when
the Turkish commander at Beirut ad
dressed a note to the American con
sui general, which he intended for the
information of the French and British
governments, declaring that for every
Mussulman killed in bombardmen,
of any open and unfortified port, three
British or French subjects would be
put to death, and added that he could
not take the responsibility for an up
rising against Christians which mlgh'
follow such an event.
1t was pointed out at the time that
bombardment of any open and unfortl
fled towns was unlikely as it is pro
hibited by The Hague convention.
Those Turkish officials who remain
at the embassy here were confident
that if the Tennessee had been fired
on it was the act of some local official
which would quickly be taken up by
the Constantinople government. Furth'
er than calling for inquiries from other
American officials in the vicinity it ap'
peared that Washington was awaiting
further reports from the Tennessee
herself.
The theory Of officials here is that
Captain Decker had been ashore at
Smyrna to pay his respects to Consul
General Horton, and that the consul,
who had returned the visit, was being
taken back to Smyrna when the launch
was fired on. Another view is that the
firing may not have been intended as
an unfriendly act, but merely the
usual warning that the port was
closed,
Vourlah is about ten miles from
Smyrna The cruiser North Caro-
lima is at Beirut on the coast of Asia
Minor, about 500 miles away.
Communication Very Slow.

4 Clever Hoax That Was Perpetrateo
 at Harvard University.

Richard Nashburn Child. the nov elist. when al Harvard university was the originator of a joke which has be- come perpe1uated in the university. The ,Bookman describes the incident .ss follows:
 "While an undergraduate at Har- yard Mir Child happened to be, among other things. one of the board of edi- tors of the Lampoon. The Crimson. the Harvard undergraduate daily. had announced that it would print no edi- don on Memorial day. 1901. At Mir Child's suggestion the Lampoon issued a fake number of the Crimson. deli cately enough caricatured to deceive all but the most observant readers.
 ''The appearance of the college paper was accurately reproduced. even te certain typographical errors for whick the Crimson had been notorious. but the contents were such that the whols Cambridge community was for time in turmoil Information that the jan itor of one of the college laboratories had upset a jar of microbes and that all those wka had been near the labo- ratory should report at once to the col lege doctor: that So-and-so Of the crew squad had rowed himself out of his shell. but had reached shore without Ill effects. and that the president and fellows of Harvard college had de- cidad not to offer President Mckinley an honorary degree was given with thn utmost gravity.
 "A statement in the fake that the Crimson was making more money thar was warranted and that s1.50 on .0li 8 subscriptions would be returned that afternoon brought many fresh. men to the Crimson office at the ap- pointed time. A sign. hung in the night over the Crimson office. reiter- ated this announcement and was an- other part of the hoax.
