j. S. MAY DECLARE
WAR ON TURKEY
Consulate and Hospital at Tabriz,
Persia, Sacked.
SPANS PROTEST IS IGNORED
Violation of American Rights in Neu-
trial Country May Cause Con-
gress to Take Drastic
Action.

Washington, June 20.--Sacking Of
the American hospital at Tabriz. Per-
STA, and seizure of the American and
British consulates there by invading
Turkish troops was reported to the
state department by the American
minister at Teheran. If the report as
1t reached the minister is officially
confirmed the outrages may be con-
sidered an act of war and settle the
long-pending question Of whether or
not the Ottoman allies of Germany
should be formally listed among enc
mics of the United States.
According to the dispatch the Turks
sacked the hospital over the protest
of the Spanish consul, in charge as
representative of American interests
and in defiance of the Spanish flag fly
ing over nc building.
Is a Missionary Institution.
The hospital at Tabriz is Presby-
terian missionary institution estab-
Iished several years ago. Many Amer
lean doctors and nurses have been sta
toned there, but for several months
the situation has been so serious that
the force has been greatly reduced,
and few days ago it was reported to
the state department that the last
American had gone.
According to the best information
obtainable here, the Turkish force
about Tabriz is small. not exceeding
few thousand at most. A British
force is operating not far south OF
Tabriz. Fighting between Turks occu-
plying that city and the British force
Is expected daily.
Aid to Mittel-Europa.
Diplomats here no longer entertain
the view that Constantinople may be
persuaded to withdraw from the war.
The Turkish policy now is directed, on
the contrary, to the consolidation of
Turkeys conquest of Russian terri-
tory and to the realization of pam
Turanian dreams, a movement which
is in consonance with the Mittel-Eu-
ropa dream of the Germans.
Turkeys violation of American
rights in neutral country is expect
ed to strengthen the views of congress-
men and senator's who desire declar-
alton of war.
1t is thought that the formal inclu-
sion of turkey among Americas en-
emies would lead to the simultaneous
recognition of a state of war with Bull
garia. which is bound to the central
powers more closely than ever by the
peace of Bucharest and its conditions,
which, while giving portion of the
spells to Bulgaria that the latter
claimed. is Withholding part, which
may be used as a club over that
country.

IDEAS.
(By Roger ". Babson)


 A little more than 100 years. ago the last real world war was at its height. Instead of Germany trying to conquer Europe. it was France. under the leadership of Napoleon, which was trying rule the world. Yes; then Eng land and the ether great nations were iighting Napoleon as we are now fight ins the Kaiser.
 Napoleon had been pretty success ful in smashing Europe and stood on the shore of northern France, near where our own troops are to-day, wait ing for wind to take his troops to England. In those days England was stil the goal. as she is to-day; but armies then had to depend on sailing ships and it was impossible to cross tue English Channel from France ex- eept with a southerly breeze.
 An American, named Fulton, who b2d been ridicuIed by his own people here at home, vert 10 France at that time and presented an idea to great general. He took with him a model Of a steamboat Napoleon looked at it. shrugged his shoulders. and cast it aside. saying: If it were possible to build ship to go without sails, my generals would have invented it be- fore this
 Hence. Robert Fulton, broken hearted, was obliged to return to New Yerk and wait until the American peo- De were willing to give him hear ;ne. Yes; it was some time before h7 was allowed to build his crazy steamboat" or fhe Hudson River. which finally made him world famous. in the meantime Napoleon, unable to eet to England. was obliged to fight i otit at Waterloo. where he was bit tealy defeated.
 often wonder if many Of Us enl' plcyers are not like Napoleon when eae of our own people comes to us n.h a new idea How many of us take pains to encourage and listen to these who come to us? And yet some oBa tomorrow may bring us great idea. Will we take the trouble to listen? Let Us remember how the great general. Napoleon, was brought to his defeat. largely because he failed to liaten to the American inventor, Fulton.
 Whatever we employers do, let no reader forget Fulton Whether or no5 your employer listens to you. stick to your idea just the same. If Fulton haunt stuck to his there would be no s.9amboat today. If Mareoni hadn't been full of courage there wouldn't have been any wireless today. If Lcngley and Wright hadn't shut their eyes to laughter and derision, there would be no flying machine to-day. If Lake had noE been willing to be ieer
