AMERICAN HOSPITAL
IS SACKED BY TURKS;
ACT OF WAR SEEN
Long Pending Question of
Whether Ottoman Empire
May Formally Be Declared
u, S, Enemy May Be Settled

WASHINGTON, June 19.-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 today by the Ameri-
can minister at Teheran.
If the report as it reached the min
lister is officially confirmed. the out
RACES may be considered an act of war
and settle the long pending question of
whether the Ottoman allies of Ger
many should be formally listed among
Americas enemies.
According to today's dispatch, the
Turks sacked the hospital over the pro-
test of the Spanish CONSUL in charge as
representative OF American interests,
and in defiance of the Spanish flag fly
ing over the building.
The hospital at Tabriz is a Presby-
terian missionary institution established
several years ago. Many American doc
tors and nurses have been stationed
there, but for several months the situa-
ton has been So serious that the force
has been greatly reduced, and a few
days ago il was reported to the state
department that the last American had
gone.
According 10 Ine pest lnIorIndlIon Oo-
tainable here the Turkish force about
Tabriz is small, not exceeding a few
thousand at most. A British force is OPP
Grating not far south of Tabriz Fight
ing between Turks occupying that city
and the British force is expected daily.
There have been vigorous demands IN
congress from time to time for declara-
lions of a state of war between the
United States and Turkey and Bulgaria.
President Wilson and the state depart
ment, however, have not regarded this
step was necessary or desirable, since
these allies of Germany so far have not
been brought into actual conflict with

The Fighting Trail
Young Mining Engineer ard
Sweetheart Spurn Offer of Life
in Return for Key to Property
She Inherited.

Imprisoned by outlaws in a
hacienda in the wilds of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, John
Gwyn, young American mining
engineer, and Nan Lawton, the
girl he is to marry, are offered
their lives if they will surrender
a chart of hidden mine of vast
value, which is the inheritance
of the girl. They refuse and the
bandits set fire to the hacienda
and repeat the offer and are
again refused, although it ap-
pears certain the imprisoned pair
are doomed to a terrible death.
The outlaws stand guard with
rifles until the roof falls inside
the flaming walls and then ride
away believing their path now
clear to possession of the mine.
The above scene, in episode 3,
is pictured with almost crue
realism, has its setting in the
great outdoors where were filmed
ninety-five per cent of the scenes
in "The Fighting Trail" Greater
Vitagraph's astounding serial OF
adventure, which will be the at
traction at the Mill-Capp Theatre
on Saturday night, March End.
The story is the fight on the part
of an agent of the Central Pow

powerful explosive used in the
manufacture of ammunition, anC
is a series of amazing feats OF
reckless bravery on the part Of
the actors.

very secondary consideration to
the welfare of the man who has
either been drafted or has vol
unteered to give his life to our
country.
I'VE find among the manu-.
facturers and business men
many who do not seem to have
awakened to the fact that we
are in a serious war. We have
the same on the labor side. A
large number of them who do
not really believe we are in a
serious warfare yet, and they do
not want to be disturbed from
their normal way of living.
I'm the last analysis every
man and woman in this country
has got to be made to realize
that this is a very serious battle
that this means our life and our
liberty. And when the day
comes that every man and
woman in this country, irrespec-

of interests which he represents,
stands right up and says, I am
ready to be counted; | will not
do only my share, | will do more

Mr.. E. j. Henson Killed

While attending to his duties
at the compress here last Friday,
Mr.. E. J. Henson was killed by
a falling weight. At the time
he was working at the press
helping to tie out some cotton
and a balance weight from some
thirty feet above his head was
loosened from its place by tap
working off and the weight fell
and struck him on the top of the
head and crushed his skull. So
severe was the blow that it is
doubtful if he so much as moved
a muscle after he was struck.
Only a small amount of work
was to have been done that day
and that little was nearly COM
pleted. Everything was work.
ing apparently well and no one
heard the nut fall or knew that
anything was wrong until the
thud from the impact of the
weight called their attention to
their falling fellow workman.
Mr.. Henson was a quiet, in
dustrious man who did what he
found to do in an efficient man
ner, a good neighbor and citizen,
a kind and loving husband and
father. Just in the prime of his
life, he departs when he was
most useful, leaving a wife and
nine children besides a host of
other relatives and friends to
mourn his tragic death.

Organized Labor Backs Thrift
Campaign

At a meeting of Organized
Labor in New York City on Feb
ruary Ord, Organized Labor
throughout the country was
pledged to the War-Savings
Campaign.
Mr.. C. L. Balm, of Boston,
| Mass, Labor's Representative
on the National War-Savings
Committee in Washington said
that recalling the way in which
working men and women of this
country have backed up the
government in every move it has
attempted SO far, Mr.. Balm de-
clared that they were solidly be-
hind the War Savings Campaign
and appreciated to the full its
real value. He continued:
1--WE appreciate the wisdom of
those who are responsible for
this War-Savings proposition.
and we have done everything
we could to encourage the men,
bers of our organizations to sup
port the proposition. We know
as we'll as anybody knows, that
the members of our unions, as
we'll as the wage-earners gener-
ally, these who have shown some
thrift and those who have
some money in the bank, not
only make better members of
the UnicR, but they make much
better citizens Of the country.
Therefore, we are fully in
accord with this proposition.
We know that from the outcome
of this War Savings Plan, there
are going to be more and more
and more of the citizens of this
country financially interested;
and we|know from our own ex-
periencs that the men and
wcmen-gpon whom we have to
depend for conservative action
at times when there is liable tc
be radical action, are the men
and women who have money in
the bank, own their own homes,
! or for some other reason, are fl
nancially directly interested in
remaining at work, unless it is g
case which really justifies the
sacrifice.
Personally, | may say that
D am in favor of this proposition.
| am a firm believer in the idea
that the country that can boast
of having the largest population
J. holding its securities, is the
e country that has the least to feal
r from revolution, upheayal o.
anything of that nature which
Il will disturb the best interests O.

FAMOUS TIP TOP

Wilmot, it is stated, has a strong syndicate back of him, and all details for resuming are practically con cluded. although 1t Is said, none of the parties interested in this big tram saction authorize publicity to be given.

 In addition to the attractive silver rating of this mine, its tungsten con tent is a strong inducement to close the deal. and with the above two metals in combination, 1t IS no doubt due to this mineral feature that the Tiptop is swinging back to assume it's former rating as a desirable 1n- vcstmcnt. and with an outlook which is decidedly datering for success to follow.

TWO ARE COMMITTED
 TO INSANE ASYLUM
(From Wednesday's Dail

In the Superior court yesterday. two insane people were ordered to the Phoenix asylum for indefinite periods of treatment, both of the men having been found mentally un- balanced byI the examining phySi- cians. William Converse, who had been hanging about the Santa Fe de pot for about a week making a nuis- ancc of himself, was one Of the men committed He was suffering with the hallucination that the food ad- ministration had shipped him car load of food and clothing for distri- button in Prescott. and he had been waiting at ;he depot for the consign- ment 10 arrive. He was loud in his denunciation of Mr. Hoover and his helpers when he found that the ship mcnt had not arrived at the hour when he was taken to Phoenix yes terday.
 ". R. Ward, a goat man living in the south part Of the county, was also ordered to the asylum. Ward has been detained here for the past few weeks and as he had given marked signs of being mentally un- strung, the court decided that he would probably recover in a short time after taking a course of treat ment at Phoenix.
