American Mission to Asia

Well Known.

PARIS. Aug. 27.--An informal warning
to Turkey that massacres of Armenians
must cease, given recently by Rear Ad-
miral Mark L. Bristol, Commander OF
the United States naval forces in Tur-
key. caused something of a furry in
French official quarters and In the Su-
preme Council OF the Peace Conference,

was reported to have occurred sharp
criticism of American intereference In

despite the fact that the United States
had no disposition to accept the man.
date for the administration of any Turk
ish territory. Tho impression prevailed
that in this case the United States had
acted alone in a formal communica-
tion to the Turkish Government.
1t was explained by the American
delegation, however. that the warning
was delivered informally by Admiral
Bristol several days ago that there was
no formal note sent, but merely an in
formal statement, the United States
alone not attempting to speak for the
Peace Conference.
On receiving the warning, Turkey, II
appears. Immediately complained to
Great Britain and France, saying she
was threatened. The explanation of the
American delegation to the Peace Con-
ference that the warning was informal,
however, apparently removed the OBJ
jections to the American action based
upon the idea that the United States
was speaking for the Peace Conference.
Charles r Crane and DR.. Henry
Churchill King, who went to Asia Minor
in Juno as an American mission to in
vestigate conditions in the Near East,
returned to Paris to-day. They will
report tomorrow to the American dele
cation on the Syrian situation and the
next day on conditions in the remainder
OF Asia Minor.
Mr.. Crane and Dr. King visited thirty
nine cities of Asiatlc Turkey and oon-
ferred with committees representing more
than 1900 villages. 1t was amazing,
they say, to find how generally President
Wilson's fourteen points" were known
throughout the Near East and how
strong was the nationalistic feeling. even
among Arabs, who rode for days in order
to meet the commission, whose presence
was so widely heralded that everywhere
the Americans arrived they were greeted
by large delegations, each eager to COM
municate its aspirations to the United
States.
Unlike Russians, who returned from
New York's East Side to Russia and
bitterly denounced America. Mr.. Crane
says. the, Syrians who have returned
from America have only praise for the
United States and American ideals and
ideas.
At Beirut Syrtans Of all classes pointed
to red tiled houses and told the mission
that these were built by Syrians who had
prospered in America. They praised the
American schools. declaring that these

MORRIS DOUBTFUL
OF KOLCHAK'S FATE
Urges His Recognition, II
Only as a Gamble.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Roland S.
Morris, American Ambassador to Japan.
who has been investigating conditions in
Siberia for President Wilson, has been
ordered to return to Toxic, and has left
Omsk for lrkutsk. After remaining at
Irkutsk several days he will proceed to
Vladvostok, where his Siberian mission
will be concluded. 1t is expected that he
will reach Toxic in about ten days.
Mr.. Morris has reported to President
Wilson daily by cable since his arrival at
Omsk. and a summary of these reports
may be made public after they have been
completed.
Late cablegrams from Ambassa dor
Morris make a strong plea for immedi-
ate recognition OF the Kolchak Govern
ment by the United States. He Is I'M
derstood to recommend this as the only
action which can save the situation In
Siberia. Mr.. Morris in his dispatches
lays special stress upon the publication
Of this announcement of recognition be-
cause of the psychological effect it would
have upon the people of Siberia, who
now seem to feel that they have been
abandoned to their fate by all the world.
Ambassador Morris is said to admit
that even II this recognition is given
and announced it may be too late to
save Siberia from Bolshevism. II is a
gamble. the Ambassador believes, wheth-
err anything now can aid Kolchak, but
it is worth the gamble.
1t Is understood to be indicated plainly
as a result OF the investigation conducted
by Mr.. Morris that II recognition had
been accorded the Kolchak Government
three months ago. when the matter was
up before the peace conference in Paris
and 1t was reported the conferees had
about decided to grant this recognition,
the Government of Siberia now would be
firmly intrenched and the danger of
the spread OF Bolshevism to the East
would have been averted.
