Seeks Means to Compel Action

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Word that the
Turkish government has rescinded its
previous agreement to allow several
hundred Americans TO leave the Turk
ISL empire via Jsffa, reached the State
Department to-day from Ambassador
Elkus. at Constantinople. The Ambas-
sador was informed that the Americans
cannot be permitted to depart, because
Of military necessity, and that the Off
eial VINO made the previous agreement
spoke without authority.
Diplomacy seems to have been eX-
hausted. and il is not known what ac-
ton may be taken to bring Turkey TO
terms. The practical internment Of the
Americans is a source of anxiety TO
their friends and Indignation TO the
government. 1t is an unprecedented
situation, which will require delicate
handling.
The American cruiser Des Moines is
due shortly at JafFa, where, after un-
loading Red Cross supplies, she had
been expected to take on the refugees
IL is understood now that officers will
not even be allowed to land to inves-
tlgate conditions.

the State Department to-day and wss

While the Secretary said later that
the action 10 be taken by the United

The British governments action Is
regarded as unnecessarily irritating IL

trian government probably would be
consulted before any action was taken
TO influence Great Britain.

is that Count Tarnowski was appointed

that no successor to DR.. Dumba had
been named. Ambassador Penfeld. IN
Vienna, was instructed to inquire

nearly nine miles out and apparently
safe from further attack, they cornered
her and brought her down in battle

above and on all sides OF her, from the
long-distance batteries on the coast and
( from armed trawlers that plough the
