Attitude of i. s.

Friendliness of Government
To Armenia Given as Cause
For Detention of Ameri.
K can by Nationalists.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE friendly
attitude of the United States towards
Armenia and absence Of diplomatic
relations with Turkey are given as
reason for the Turkish nationalists'
action in holding Col. J. P. Coombs,
director of the American Commission
for Relief in the Near East at SAM
SCUM, according to a message from
Colonel Coombs TO the organization's S
representative in Constantinople. re-
ceived by cable.
Previous dispatches from Constan-
tinople reported trat the nationalists
had refused Colonel Coombs permits
sion to enter the interior on tour
Of inspection or to allow him to re-
turn to Constantinople. His mes
sage, apparently quoting the nation
alists, said that permission was re-
fused on three grounds: First. be-
cause diplomatic relations between
the Turks and the United States
were not yet in force and because
the United States belongs to "a
political party" desiring to force the
Turkish people to accept the "odious
Sevres treaty"
The second reason was that in
Oriental questions. America is
always on the side OF Armenia,
worst enemy of the Turks and has
sustained Armenian morale material
ly without taking into consideration
Turkish claims"
The third reason is that an "ac-
tual state of war exists between
Turkey and Armenia which obliges
us to prevent your jouyneying into
the interior"
The Turkish explanation comes
with the statement that "at present
travel by Americans in or out of ma
tionalist territories is prohibited ex-
