TURKEY HAS NOT
DECLARED WAR
Ottoman Ambassador 10 v. 9. Re-
eeives Message Saying Neu
trality VIII Be insisted.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4-Tnat
Turkey has not declared war against
any country. and that she viii further
insist upon her neutrality was the
substance OF a cablegram from Con-
stantinople to the Turkish ambassa-
dor to-day.
The cablegram as translated at the
embassy read verbatim as follows:
Il hereby inform you that by rea-
son OF the neutrality she has adopted
Turkish military authorities order 70
insure by every possible means that
perfect safet yof merchant vessels OF
belligerents and OF neutral states TAX
ing refuge In her ports"
Ambassador A. Rustem Bey said he
Interpreted this a. direct information
not declared war. and that she will in
sist upon her neutrality. He said this
cablegram contradicted all rumors OF
war by Turkey.
The cable was sent by the Turkish
minister OF foreign affairs and left Con-
stantinople September 3.
In diplomatic quarters to-day a was
believed that should Turkey declare war
on the allies and send ships into the
Persian gulf. England would ask Japan
20 take steps TO protect British interests
IN Persia and expel the Turkish In
Naders- Japan's appearance I'm the Per-
sian gulf would be but an extension OF
her action nuder her alliance with Eng
land. An attack on Persia by Turkey
