Washington. Nov. 27.-Application
by naturalized Americans for. pass
ports to visit their native lands are
frequently meeting with rejection by
the state department which. is enforc-
ing strict application of the new pass
port regulations; recently promulgated
by President Wilson. In each case
officials require it to be clearly shown
that the purpose Of the applicant is to
make a short business visit and that
he has no intention of using Ameri-
can citizenship in obtaining exemp-
tion from local obligations while a
resident abroad = - = :
Many complex situations have aris-
en- since the outbreak of. the Euro.
pean war through the efforts Of natur-
allied Americans. engaged in business
abroad to obtain immunity from local
obligations by virtue Of tnelr citizen
ship. This has heen particularly true
in oriental. countries. ..
The issuance OF passports to chill
dren born in this country of alien
parents also is being closely super
vised. Great caution is exercised in
making out such. passports to visit
any country which does not admit the
right Of expatriation but insists upon
military service: from the American

BRYAN ISSUES
STATEMENT ON
FORTS ACTION
Explained That Indifference
of Helmsman on Launch
Caused Shooting.

Washington. Nov. 27.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna.
lays all responsibility for the firing
upon the Tennessee's launch Ito tho
indifference of the helmsman Of the
launch" who, 1t is said. did not heed
tho warning of the presence of mines
In the harbor.
Secretary Bryan issued a supple
mental statement on the Tennessee
incident, based on the latest communi-
cation from the Turkish minister Of
war. to Ambassador Morganthau at
Constantinople
Secretary Bryan says this latest re-
port closes the incident.
THE war minister's report" says
Bryans statement. Estates that he as
certained from the commander Of the
Smyrna fort that two blank shots of
warning we're first fired. and that the
fort, after waiting two minutes, was
obliged to fire the third shot in an
other direction from that OF the
launch. which latter shot was merely
to prevent the helmsman of the
launch from holding his course which
would lead directly in the mine field
at the entrance Of the harbor, and
rescue him from a certain disa ster.
The commander of the Smyrna ex-
presses very great regret that such an
obligation was presented to the senti-
mel Of the port. which he attributes
to the Indifference of the helmsnan
OF the launch"

chief centers of the Omitted States, par
ticularly Chicago, Detroit and the
Twin Cities, claims in published
man intrigue in the United States, an
organization spending millions Of dol
lars to influence public opinion on
Germany's side.
There is a German organization in
United States which is spending en-
ormoue sums Of money through news
papers and pamphlets, which are dis
tributed everywhere, with a view to
influence public opinion in favor Of
Germany.
Americans are quite alive to the
reason why they are thus being ap-
pealed to so systematically and at
such great expense.
Germany knows that some Of these
days, whether 1t Is sooner or later. 1t
matters not her cause as belligerent
must be in the hands of arbitration.
Evidently. she feels that in. such an
hour the United States, as the one
great nation not taking part. in the
war, may be one of the jurors by
whom she will be tried, and she Is

METHODS USED

Bornbardnent of Cities Oc-
cupied by Non-Combat-
ants is Deplored.

Washington, Nov. 27.-President
Wilson has communicated unofficially
to diplomatic representatives Of the
United States in the belligerent coun-
tries Of Europe his disapprovsl Of at
tacks, by bombs from aircraft,
dropped on unfortifed cities and oc-
cupied by non-combatants.
Took Up Matter Personally.
President Wilson. it became known,
in expressing to the American diplo-
mats abroad his disapproval Of bombs
pied by non-combatants, did not take
up the matter officially, and did not
even. make his communications
through the state department, but adj
dressed the American ambassadors
abroad personally.
Took Course Two Months Ago.
The. president took this course. it
was discovered, two months ago. The
facts came to light through the pub
lication Of report that the president
had discussed the matter with Euro
pean diplomats here.
This, however, is denied by some
of the prominent diplomats mentioned
in connection with it. including the
oCiua0l1 oA1U06SdOoA' OOOS AV" Vic
American diplomats abroad were to
convey Wilson'S feelings to the for
eign governments is not disclosed.
Called Attention to Hague Article.
It is believed here. however, that
the president called attention to the
article in Tho Hague convention Of
1907, to which all the principal bell
ligerents arc signatory, which pro-
vides for q notice Of ~ hours before
a bombardment or attack. in order
that non-combatants may remove
themselves from the danger zone.
No knowledge OF Responses.
Whether there has been any unom.
cial responses from the +belligerents -
not known here, but the American
diplomats were entrusted by the pres
ident, It ID understood, to handle the
matter with. such discretion and
delicacy as would tend to end aerial
attacks without notice. and at the
the United States feels towards all
belligerents involved.
It u not believed that the president
mentioned any specific violation. but
expressed his views on the general
subject Of aerial attacks.
Used Good Offices With Nations.
It is supposed that American diplo-
mats used their good ofhces in a per-
sonal way with the belligerent gov
ernments without perhaps even mem
tfoning the TACT that they are doing
90 ut tho request of the preGddent a.
such methods Of obtaining the desired

Before the men on the ships an

docks, the Bulwark had disappeared.
The neighborhood was strewn with an
enormous amount Of wreckage. while
pieces Of the ship were thrown miles

Great Britain has been singularly free
from disaster Of this character. The

IMADERO' s SISTER
ASKS PROTECTION

Frightened by a rough looking man
who persistently followed her for sew
eral blocks, Miss Angela Madero,
young sister of the assassinated pres
ident of Mexico, sought protection in
the nearby home of F. A. Bryan, 1925
Z. Jefferson blvd, yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock. Miss Madero reach
ed the Bryan home in tears. asking
refuge from the man following her of
whom she appeared in much fear.
Mrs. Bryan took the frightened and
hysterical girl into her home. Miss
Madero asked to be taken TO St Jo-
seph's hospital, where she is staying as
a patient. She was conveyed to the
hospital by Mrs. Bryan in her auto
mobile and restored to the sisters
there.
Miss Madero did not give vivid de-
scription of the man Of whom she be-
came frightened according to those
who aided her. With the exception
of stating that he appeared to be a
tramp and was dressed roughly she
was unable to give any definite de-
scription. No reason other than the
man had watched her closely for sew
eral blocks vouchsafed as being re-
spOnsible for her fear.
The sister of the former president
Of Mexico was at St Mary's academy
until few weeks ago, since that time
she has been at the ST JOseph's hos
pitaI. Reports that the man follow
ing Miss Madero was either a Mexican
enemy of herself or her family were
strongly denied at the hospital last
night 1t was rumored about the
scene of the occurrence that the fol-
lower of the girl might have been
personal enemy of the Madero family
which has been forced from Mexico
since the murder of the young wo-
mans brother
According to those at the hospital
Miss MaderO was attracted by the
unusual attentions being paid her by
the man and Immediately became per-
haps unnecessarily frightened. Being
of a nervous temperament and hav-
ing been in i'll health it was explained
that the young woman had broken
down and fled TO the Bryan home for
assistance No description Of the man
was given by those at the hospital IT
was stated that when the incident oc-
Cured Miss MaderO was taking her
usual morning walk for exercise.
