AMERICANS PLIGHT
IN TURKEY YELLED
Washington Lacks News,
Although Hearing from
Cruiser Commanders.

Washington. Nov. 2O.-The admins
tration here is still in the dark about
the safety Of Americans in Turkey and
about the details Of the firing on the
Tennessee's launch by the Turkish land
forts near Smyrna. although Secretary
Daniels received messages to-day from
the commanders Of the Tennessee and
the North Carolina acknowledging re-
ce.p. If his order 10 take no action

Is at Smyrna, over whose safety there
Is anxiety, because of the anxiety eX-
pressed by Captain Decker, Of the Ten
nessee. in his first report.
Acting Secretary Lansing. Of the
State Department said that absolutely
nothing" had been received from Am
bassad0r Mcrgenthau. He admitted,
however. that further instructions had
been sent 10 the ambassador, although
the department had no assurances that
they had reached him. He declined to
state the nature of the instruct ions.
but IL is understood that the ambassa-
dor was directed 70 make inquiries
but 20 present no representations TO
the Porte without specific orders from
Washington.
Secretary Daniels admitted to-day
that he had directed Captain Decker, OF
the Tennessee. to remain with the
cruiser az Chios. where the vessel went
after the launch had been fired on.
Naval officers estimated that Chios Is
about sixty miles from Smyrna, or a
run Of about four hours.
Officials were inclined to-day 70 re-
sent suggestions that the instructions
10 the commanders of the Tennessee
and North Carolina meant that all pos
sible protection had been withdrawn
from Americans in the danger zone, be-
cause o. the long delays in the trans
mission of messages. Secretary Daniels
said that the instructions were not
necessarily blanket order not to act
in any circumstances, but he added that
a pretty serious situation would have
TO develop to warrant either the Ten
nessee or the North Carolina taking
action without specific orders from

Cape Cod Canal Found To Be
OF Strategic Value.
tFrum The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Nov. 20-Grent impor-
tance is attached by the Navy Depart
ment TO the fact that the submarines
K-5 and K-6 were able TO pass through
the Cape Cod Canal, it being pointed
out to-day that the feat demonstrated
the usefulness Of the waterway "as a
valuable asset in the defence system
of the country"
"The important part that the sub
marines are playing in the European
war is emphasizing their Importance IN
our own plans of ?. national defence,
said Secretary Daniels, "and this canal
which permits submarines TO pass free
ly between the waters of Long Island
Sound and Cape Cod Bay becomes a
strategic feature that could hardly be
overestimated.
"NOt only submarines, but destroy
ers and light vessels Of all kinds, could
freely use the canal without exposure

forces. In times Of peace It atJ, DIS a
