RUSSIANS MAY Save
PEOPLE FROM MODS
u. S. Mission Workers in Danger at
Persian Post and Many Have
Been Killed.

American and other Christians men
aced by mobs in Urumiah. Persia. may
be rescued by Russian soldiers.
( Word came to Washington yesterday
that the Russian government at Petro-
grad now has under consideration tho
request of the British and American
| consular officers in Persia that troops
be rushed to Urumiah. and it is con-
sidered quite probable that this action
will be taken.
This Is the only means by which
there is any real hope of averting the
the danger which now menaces the
Americans and other Christians in the
Persian town. It was admitted at the
State Department that this govern
ment Is practically helpless in the mat
ter owing to the inacCessibility OF
Urumiah. All that has been or can be
done Ia to make demands upon the
Turkish authorities to afford due pro-
lection to the missionaries and their
religious wards.
Tn. State Department has not even
received complete reports of the situa-
ton at Urumiah. it was said. Such
reports as it has received. 1t has trans
mitted to Ambassador Morganthau
with instructions to bring them to the
attention of the Turkish authorities at
Constantinople.
Advices received by Presbyterian mis-
sion authorities in New York are much
more complete than those received at
the State Department
The British and French consuls at Te-
hcran were the first to suggest the ad-
vi-abllity of Russian forces moving upon
'rumiah, according to advices received
here. They appealed to the Russian COM
mander at Tabriz. Persia to send force
TO the scene Of the disorders. He replied
that he would be very glad indeed to so
TO the rescue OF the missions. but that
he was powerless to move without au-
thority from Petrograd. The suggestion
was, however. promptly referred to the
Russian government and II is hoped that
prompt action will be taken.
Unofficial reports state that the Turk
ish consul at Crumiah has been a leader
of the attacks upon the Christians and
the foreign missions. He is charged with
having melted the populace to violence
and reports received by the mission So
ciety of New York are said to demon
strate that many livas have already been
sacrificed 20 TIE lust Of the mobs

Turkish troops attacked the American
mission at Urumiah. Persia on Tues

had sought shelter. according to
message received here from United
States Consul Gordon Paddock at Ia
briZ.
His information came directly from
Robert NJ. Larabee. one of the head
missionaries at Crumiah.
The Assyrians were massacred i'm
mediately after they had been torn
from the protection of the mission
aries. The American missionaries at
tempted to save the lives Of the Chris
tians. but they were insulted by the
Turks. who knocked several down and
trampled upon them as they dragged
the Assyrians out to be killed.
