other things he said that the socialist

If Horrors i'm Armenia Continue Break

Washington, Oct. 4-Ambassador
MorSenthau at Constantinople was in
structed by cable today to inform
the minister of foreign affairs that
public sentiment in the United States
was so stirred by the reports of the
Armenian atrocities that unless the
tween the American people and the
people of Turkey would be threat
ened.
Officials madeS lit clear that this
message, though Its Importance was
by no means 3minimized did not
threaten a break in diplomatic rela-
tions. Turkey already has let it be
known that she will not permit in
reference by any foreign power with
her socalled armenian policy AS
American life or property has not been
affected, the United States government
merely informs Turkey of the effect
continued Armenian atrocities would
have upon the American people.
Secretary Lansing said today that
no representations had been made to
Germany regarding the treatment ac-
corded the Armenans 1t was learn
ed, however, that Ambassador Nor
genthau had reported that the Ger
man embassy at Constantinople had
filed protest with the Turkish for

time ago stated that the state c.
partment had asked Count Won b.. n
storff, the German ambassador here,
TO bring the matter to the attention
Of his foreign office.

AMERICAN NAVY PLAYS WAR.
Great Enemy Fleet Approaching Ches-
apcakc Bay for Attack on WASH
in2tOn.

Washington, Oct. 5.-TheoreticalIy
the United States is at war tonight.
by some route unknown to Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the defending
naval forces, a great enemy" fleet
is approaching the entrance of Ches-
apeake bay to establish a base which.
Iif effected, would open the way for an
attack on the national capital.
Admiral Fletcher, however, is un-
aware of the enemy's objective and
knows only that he is operating some
where off the Atlantic coast between
Maine and Florida. The vessels of
the defending force, which includes
most of the battleships of the At
lantic fleet, are stripped for action.
Little will be known to the public
about the war game until it is over,
ten days hence.
Plans for another war game to be
held next spring already are being
prepared. 1t is understood that these
contemplate more elaborate manoeu-
vres than any yet held extending
from Maine to the Panama canal. At
that time, it is expected, the entire
naval force of the United States will
be available.
