Washington, June 19.-Vigorous
nro.es. against immediate absolute

cambridge Colby, member OF tae

the output Of American shipyards

william J. Bryan was the chief

mediate nation wide prohibition as a
war measure.

DECLARATION
Of War by U. S. On
Turkey is Presaged
BY Attack of Turkish Troops on
American Consulate at Tabriz.
Persia and tootina Of American
Missionary Hospital in Same City.
Reported to State Department
Wednesday

Washington, June 19.-Attack hy
Turkish troops on the American con-
sulate at Tabriz, Persia. and nc
looting of an American missionary
hospital in that city, reported to the
State Department today, was believed
in some quarters here TO presagc thc
long anticipated declaration of the
existence OF a state of war between
the United States and the Ottoman
Empire. Diplomatic relations be-
tween the two governments have
been suspended since April 20, 1871.
Recently there have been vigorous
demands in Congress for dcclard =
ton of q state of war between me
United States and Turkey ana b1i~
garia, but President Wilson ana me
State Department have not regarded
this step as necessary or deslra Die,
since there has been no actual col
lision between American and Turkish
and Bulgarian troops.
On the face of the reports from
American Minister Caldwell at Te-
heran, officials were inclined 10 pe-
lieve that the sacking of the Amer
lean hospital, a Presbyterian instltu-
ton over the protest of the Spanish
consul in charge as representative of
American interests, furnishes the
necessary provocation for open nos
tilities between America and Turkey.
l. The advices, however, were meagre
and the minister explained that he
was only transmitting reports VI
matters not of his own knowledge.
In view Of this it was realized that
later reports might show that the Of
lenses were not as grave as now
represented.
Some officials pointed out that since
the attacks on the consulate and hos
pital occurred in Persia the Unite
States first must hold the Persian gov
ernment 10 account, as it is responsiDt;
for the safety OF Foreigners and tReii
properlv within its border. However
because of the peculiar and uncertain
relations between Persia and Russia
the assertion of the former OF the righ
Of suzerainty over Persia and the we'll
recognized inability of the latter TO re-
sst the Turkish troo there 1t htu,
| doubt here that the Washington gov
ernment will hold that the responsiblli
! ty for the outrages has passed to Tur'
! key and that il the first reports are
! substantiated the existence of 4 state
of war between Turkey and the Unite
| States must be declared,
! Consul Paddock and the other Amer
I leans in Tabriz are believed to be max
! ing their way either toward Teheran
| some 400 miles from TabriZ, or to Ham
e(..n. where they will strike the grea
caravan route leading 10 Bagdad, from
which city British force has beer
/ sent out iowa rd Tabriz.
! Mr.. Paddock is said To he much ex
perienced in oriental countries and :.
