NOTE TO TURK
SENT BY U. S.
ABOUT TABRIZ
Ultimatum Dispatched May
Mean War if Not
Answered.

A virtual ultimatum was yester-
day set by the United States gov
ernment to Turkey, demanding an
immediate and satisfactory explains
tion of the Tabriz incident.
There is strong reason to believe
that a failure on Turkeys part to
give. favorable response will be
followed by a declaration OF war
on the part OF this nation
The demand-the third sent to
the authorities at Constantinople,
since the incident occurred-was
forwarded by Secretary Lansing
through the Swedish government.
Sweden was bearer of one Of the
two previous communications and
Spain of the other. To neither of
these previous messages has the
Ottoman government paid the
slightest attention.
Message "Means Business,
This message" declared an on
cial of the department means
business"
The offense for which an explana-
tton is demanded is the action of
the Turks at Tabriz in seeking the
American consulate there and loot
ing the American hospital The
United States demands to know
whether the Turkish government
avows responsibility for the outrage,
or whether it was the outcome of
irresponsible mobbing. following the
capture of Tabriz by the Turks.
Oficials last night admitted that the
relations between the two govern
ments are highly strained.
rent concerning the possible mill
tary and political effects of a dec
laration of war against Turkey. For
months strong pressure has been
brought to bear on President Will
son both by the allied governments
and by members of Congress to in
clude Turkey and Bulgaria in the
war declaration.
With Austria seemingly on the
verge of collapse. following her
latest military debacle on the Ital-
ian front. and with Bulgaria and
Turkey quarrelling between them
selves and with Germany over the
torn carcass of Rumania, II may be
that the Administration will still
cling to the belief thai better re-
suits can be obtained by withhold
ing the war declarations. This view
is discounted now, however. even in
State Department quarters.
Use Jugo-SIav Legation.
With the passage by the Senate
OF the amendment to the
army bill providing for the crea-
ton of the Jugo-Slav foreign legion,
interest is revived in the possibil-
ity that troops of this legion, when
formed. might be used to advantage
on the Balkan front in the event
that the United States does un-
sheath the sword against Turkey.
1t is in the Balkans that the
heart Of the Jugo-Slav movement is
located. and with an American Jugo-
Slav legion entering the lists in that
war theater. many believe new life
would be given the revolutionary
spirit among the small nationalities
in the Balkans subject to the Cen
trail Powers.

No Bona Eide Buyer.
The first decision of a much dis
puted point occurred yesterday in the
Municipal Court, Judge Doyle presid-
ing. In the case of Thomas Fisher
& Co. against Walter Atlee, 1t was
decided that the plaintiff could not
obtain possession of the disputed
premises, because 1t was not proved
that the sale to a bona fide purchaser
had been completed.
In this case" said Capt Peyser,
the agreement of sale had been
made by the owner, but the agree
ment had not been completed, anj
the deed not passed, so the court
held that, before the bona fide pur-
chaser could obtain the property. the
conveyance of the property must be
made to him.
The plaintiff was represented by
Edward Brady. Capt. Peyser appear
ed for the defendant.
Landlords Occupancy.
The other decision was the in
terpreting Of the word necessarily
require" in the Salisbury resolu-
tion. In this case the court ruled
that the phrase meant the purchaser
ises for his own use, that is, for
his own occupancy.
These two decisions cover two
disputed points in the law. The
question of whether the bona fde
purchaser must give notice in his
own nameS is now occupying the
court, according to Capt. Peyser.
These three questions in the
Salisbury resolution" said Capt.
Peyser. will decide many of the
weighty problems that are confront
ing landlords and tenants in the
District of Columbia at the present
time"
As To ConstitutionaIity.
The constitutionality of the Sauls-
bury law viii be taken up on July
first.
Two theories have been advanced
ed" said Captain Peyser. "One that
no State shall pass any law impair
ing the obligations of a contract
and it is mooted question whether
Congress. in passing the law, is in
the position of State, and whether
the law impairs the obligation of a
contract"
THE second question is whether the
Salisbury resolution deprives a man
of his property without due process
of law. This is perhaps the strong
est point as to the constitutionality
of the law, but the court will con-
slider carefully the reasons for pass
ing the act, more especially the fact
that the act was passed for the pro-
