explanation OF the firing by Turkish
land forces at a launch from the Amer

might embarrass the American gov

tions from Washington concerning the
general situation.
These steps followed the receipt OF

which was paraphrased in this state
inent from the Navy Department:
Capt b. C. Decker. In command Of
