THE TABRIZ OUTRAGE.

I was with the hope OF preventing just what happened

sacked an American missionary hospital and seized an
American consulate over which the flag Of Spain was
floating at the time. that President Wilson personally inter-
posed an objection when Congress the point Of de-
carng that state Of war existed with Turkey and Bull
gana.
Technically this Turkish mob for it could have been
little better than that has forced the ISSUE but that does
not change the fact that scattered over the vast expanse Of
territory in the near east which nomnaly Turkish there
are many other missionary establishments colleges. Schools
hospitals shelters and thousands of women and children
who regard themselves as wards OF the United States In
view Of all this it is to be hoped that the government
at Washington will with the utmost elaboration with
regard to the delicate situation which has been created
If Congress to act upon its constitutional pre-
ogatve and decide that the natural and only action in the
premises declaration that state Of exists that al
though justified by the facts would partake Of dplo-
matte absudy for the simple that for the time being
at least there would be way which we could bring
pressure OF any kind upon Turkey. But Turkey could if
1t wanted to- and under suggestion from Berlin probably
would want TO- the declaration an excuse for gen.
cra campaign Of apne directed against every thing Amer

it could reach both in property and lives.
On the other hand if Turkey shows any inclination to
make amends for the Iabrz outrage much good might
eventually result from conciaory policy upon our part
If the present Austrian offensive in Italy goes to smash as
there Is reason to hope will changes Of the utmost I'M

part Of the world might blow up at one time if there was
opect that the Entente allies have not adopted an rrevo-
