Washington, April 16-Formal charges
of pro-German activities by certain Amer
ican missionaries in Bulgaria and north
ern Persia have been forwarded to the
American board of Foreign Missions by
the state department. it was learned to-
day from official sources.
These charges also involve the mission
aries in political activities in Persia. The
charges together with the results of in
vestiGations conducted by the state de-
partment were sent to the American board
by Assistant Secretary of State Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips said there had not yet been
time to receive reply from the board s
headquarters in Boston where the matter
is under investigation. He expressed the
opinion that proper action would he taken
by the board as soon as the necessary in
quiries could be made.
The detailed charges, 1t was said, would
not be made public by the state depart
ment officials holding that the proper
course would be to allow the mission
board first to complete it's Investigations
and make public its findings.
The state department, 1t was learned

Bulgarian activities of certain American
missionaries IN bulgaria. Tne cOnOuct
of these missionaries, officials have ex-
planned. was difficult to restrain owing
to the fact that the United States and
Bulgaria were not at war. Moreover,
it is said the missionaries exerted every
effort to prevent a rupture between the
two countries. 1t Is known that one
of the specific charges is that the mis-
sonaries used funds designated to aid
war sufferers to further the cause of
Bulgaria and indirectly the cause of her
allies, Germany and Austria Hungary.
Political activities on the part of mis-
sonaries in northern Persia as well as
Bulgaria are said to have compromised
them with the two governments and have
put the United States to unusual embar-
rassment in correcting the evils they
have worked.
Unofficial reports from the boards
headquarters were said to-day to inti-
mate that severe disciplinary measures
would be taken by the organization II in
vestigation confirms the charges filed
