Washington. March 29.-The Turkish
government denies that there have
been any disorders at Urumiah, Per-
sia. Ambassador Morgenthau at Con-
stantinople cabled the state depart
ment today that the grand vizier had
so informed him on the strength Of a
report made him by the Turkish war
Office.
Mr.. Morgenthau reported that
further instructions that order must be
maintained had been sent to Urumiah
on his request.
News dispatches from Tifis and re-
ports to the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions in New York have
told Of atrocities on native Christians
in Urumiah by Turkish regular troops
and Kurds.
In response to appeals for protection
the state department directed Ann
bassador Morgenthau to ask the porte
to send troops.
Secretary Bryan announced that new
Turkish orders affecting the foreign
missions and schools had been post
poned until September when the new
school year begins. The new order
of last fall would have taken from the
missionary colleges the exemption
from Turkish supervision they enjoyed.
Secretary Bryan said that Ambassador
Morgenthau had reported that the sit
uation was satisfactorily adjusted for
the time at least, by the postponement.
