Rheims Battle Dies out.
The battle OF Rheims. which
opened on the western front in
France Tuesday night, died out as
suddenly as II began. II proved
another costly failure for the Ger
man crown prince.
Nothing of especial Importance
has taken place on any OF the four
great battle fields in France although
increasing raids and the artillery
activity on the Picardy and Flanders
fronts indicates that the Germans
may soon renew their efforts TO
break through 10 either Amiens or
the channel ports.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Pres'J I
Wilson has asked for complete ad-
vices on the sacking by the Turks
of the American missionary hospital
at Tabriz, Persia, il was learned to-
day from close 10 the white house.
The president is said 10 have shown
a keen interest in the reported seiz-
ure Of the American consulate and
the sacking Of the hospital, and
American Minister Caldwell at Te-
heran has peen requested 10 send all
the additional details that he may
have at his command.
VIII Make Full Probe.
The state department also acted
on the incident today, requesting
both Spain and Sweden to ascertain
the facts from Berlin.
Il was made plain that the presi-
dent would take no action until
every phase Of the occurrence had
been communicated 70 him. The re
port Of the occupation OF the con-
sulate and the sackiug Of the hospi-
tai has created deep concern in the
capital and the belief was freely eX-
pressed that Turkey had committed
the overt act that eventually would
lead 20 a declaration of war by the
United States.
Watches Russia Closely.
The president also was closely
watching the Russian situation to-
day and there were reports that this
would be made the subject OF a
Fourth Of July address. The presi-
dent had intended 10 speak at Phila-
delphia on independence day, but
yesterday let it be known that ne
would be forced 70 decline the invi-
tation. However, reports were in
sistent that he would speak else
where on that day and that at that
time he would take the people into
his confidence as 10 what Americas
policy toward Russia is 70 be. Where
the speech will be delivered could
not be learned, but an announce
ment was expected before che end OF
the present week.
