U. s. TELLS TURKEY TO STOP
SLAUGHTER OF ARMENiANs.
Washington Cables Envoy to Deliver
Message to SuItan-Americans
Are Aroused.

washington, Oct. Ambassador
Morgenthau at Constantinople was in
structed by cable to inform the Turk
ish minister of foreign affairs that
public sentiment in the United States
was so stirred by the reports of the
Armenian atrocities that unless the
massacres ceased friendly relations
between the American people and the
people of Turkey would be threatened.
Officials made it clear that this mes
sage, though its importance was by no
means minimized, did not threaten a
break in diplomatic relations. Turkey
already has let it be known that she
will not permit interference by any
foreign power with her so-called AR
menian policy"
AS American life or property has
not been affected, the United States
government, without submitting an
official protest, merely informs Turkey
of the effect continued Armenian
atrocities would have upon the Ameri-
can people.
Secretary Lansing said that no rep
reservations had been made to Ger
many regarding the treatment of the
Armenians by the Turks. 1t was
learned, however, that Ambassador
Morgenthau had reported that the Ger
man embassy at Constantinople had
filed protest on this subject with the
Turkish foreign office. An announce
ment some time ago stated that the
state department had asked Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
here, to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of his foreign Office

ULT|MATUM SENT
BULGARS BY RUSS
Must Break With Germany With
in Twenty-Four Hours.
MINISTER TOLD TO LEAVE
Ordered to Gust All German Officers
Gar Can't Sanction Preparations
for Fratricidal Aggression
Against Serbia.

London, Oct. 5.-According TO the
Times, the Russian minister at Sofia
has delivered formal ultimatum to
Bulgaria demanding the expulsion OF
all German officers in Bulgaria within
twenty.four hours.
The text of the ultimatum follows:
The events which are taking place
in Bulgaria at this moment give evi
dence of a definite decision of King
Ferdinand's government to place the
fate of his country in the hands of
Germany.
The presence of German and Aus
trian officers at the war ministry and
on the staff of the army, the concen-
tration of troops on the Serbian Dor
der and the extensive financial sup
port accepted from our enemies by the
Sofa cabinet no longer leave any
doubt as to the object of the military
preparations of Bulgaria
THE powers OF the entente who
have at heart the realization Of the
aspirations of the Bulgarian people
have, on many occasions, warned NJ.
Radoslavoff that any hostile act against
Serbia would be considered as direct
ed against themselves The assur-
ances given by the head of the Bull
garian cabinet in reply to these warn.
ings are contradicted by the facts.
The representative of Russia,
which is bound to Bulgaria by the i'm
perishable memory of her liberation
from the Turkish yoke, cannot sane
ton by his presence preparations for
fratricidal aggression against Slav
and allied people. The Russian min
lister therefore has received orders TO
leave Bulgaria with all y STATS of
the legation and consulatcs I the Bull
garian government does not, within
twenty-four hours, openly break with
the enemies of the Slav cause and OF
Russia and does not at once proceed
to send away officers belonging to the
armies OF states which are at war
with the powers of the entente"

SALOONS CLOSE IN

Message and Reform
ers Stunned-State Law Multi
fies City Ordinance.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Sunday saloons in
Chicago are doomed.
Mayor Thompson by executive or
der will enforce the state Sunday clos
ing law
He made this announcement in a
message read to the city council
The message came as a complete
surprise and caused a tremendous
sensation. Aldermen and spectators
who crowded the galleries were thun-
rerstruck.
While it had been known that the
mayor had asked Corporation Counsel
Folsom for an opinion regarding the
status of the Sunday closing law, not
an mixing had leaked out of the
mayors intentions.
Politicians Get Jolt.
Politicians generally and reformers
had taken it for granted that the
mayor would follow the course of his
predecessors and consider the state
statute as a blue law"
Mayor Thompson's message was
read to the city council within half an
hour after it had convened.
Aldermen and outsiders could
scarcely believe their ears when that
part of the message dealing with the
saloons was reached. When it's i'm
port had sunk into the minds of the
listeners, there was a scattering round
Of applause. Gloom settled over the
countenances of numerous individuals.
Plainly the drys were not in the ma
jority among those damned into the
council chamber.
Mayor Thompson set forth in the
message that Corporation Counsel Fol
som had advised him that the state
law provided a fine of not exceeding
5000 for any place where liquor was
sold which remained open on Sunday.
Ordinances of No Weight.
The mayor said the opinion of the
corporation counsel was that existing
city ordinances permitting, under GER
tain restrictions, saloons to remain
open on Sunday could not nullify the
state law,
In view of this opinion Mayor
Thompson said he believed it to be his
duty to enforce the law and accord
ingly he would order all saloons to
close on Sunday Presumably the or
der becomes effective next Sunday.
