not remember where the money went.

on a charge of implication in the plot
to overthrow the federal government.
Both Hernandez and Mexuero were iden-

revolution under way. Both were ar

TURKEY ISOLATES
AMERICAN SCHOOLS
IN FACE OF CRISIS
Communication With Out
side World Cut OFF and
Uneasiness Grows in Mis-
sionary Circles.
NEW YORK. Semi. %.


For week there has been nothing
heard from the three great American col
leges in the ottoman Empire Robert Col
lcgc, the American College for Girls and
the American College at Beirut, and seri-
Gus alarm is felt by the trustees and
representatives in this country
l.. Walter Roberts. treasurer of the
Episcopal Board at Boston, who has been
acting for the American missionary soci-
cites since the Turkish Government
announced Its withdrawal of the capitula-
tions, said that not only is all commu-
nication with the American schools in
Turkey broken, but that 1t has been
impossible to forward much needed funds
from this country during the last ten
days.
After the war began and the various
missionary societies realized that they
could no longer send money to their
workers in Turkey by the usual channels
the Standard Oil offered its services and
undertook to transfer considerable sums
for the relief OF American educational
and religious institutions in that country.
But on Saturday the Standard Oil re-
unable for the last week to communicate
with its representative at Constantinople,
and that it was impossible to give relief.
The uneasiness which this situation
aroused has been intensified when it
was reported through Rome that the
Ottoman Government, besides suppressing
the capitulations. had determined to
abolish all foreign schools within the
empire. Dispatches received through
diplomatic sources from Rome state that
the conditions in Constantinople are most
serious
Absolutely nothing is known as to the
welfare of foreign missionaries or col
leges in Turkey. 1t is naturally sup
posed, however that they are beginning
to feel the pinch of unusual conditions
and possibly to be in serious need of
financial help. Besides the big Ameri-
can colleges in Turkey there are nearly
$50 smaller schools that are conducted
by religious bodies
AS an indication OF the fact that the
Armenians in this country are fearful lest
trouble come to their relatives in Turkey
many of them have made application to
the American Board during the last week
to have money transferred to Turkey. In
each case, however, that money has had
to be refused with the explanation that
the board has no means of sending It.
