AMERICANS IN NO DANGER
FROM PEOPLE OF TURKEY
Wife of Ambassador Morgenthau
Says Natives Treat q. s. Citizens
With Great Consideration.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Mrs. Henry
Morgenthau, wife of the American am
bassador at Constantinople. who left
the Turkish capital September Is. and
who has arrived in New York, has is
sued a statement in which she describ-
ed briefly what she had seen in the war
zone She said there was no danger
for Americans in Turkey as the ma
tives treat them with great considera-
ton and hope that the United States
will help them to regain their COM
merce with the world after the war. In
many instances English and French
business men in Constantinople have
been permitted to remain to look after
the interests of their respective firms.
Turkish Slogan, Business as Usual"
= Mrs. Morgenthau said that the Turks
treated the war in their customary
philosophic manner and their slogan
was business as usual" The only
time the guns of the enemy could be
heard in the capital was when the Rus
slams were bombarding the Bosporus
from the Black sea. There were about
200 Americans left in the city, of whom
two-thirds were teachers in the col
leges, missionaries and employees of
American firms.
The wives of the professors in the
Roberts College had all gone home to
the United States.
