New York. January 12.--Although con-

The people of Constantinople are at the

compelled to look to the United States
minister for their safety.
"When war was declared the Stars and
Stripes were raised above the French and
British hospitals.
"The situation was critical when I left
Constant'noplc. Everything was under
military control. Business was almost en-
tlrely suspended, and 1t was next to i'm
