Il U. S. DESTROYERS
OFF FOR NEAR EAST
Quick Despatch of Vessels Is
Ordered to Strengthen
BriStoPS Squadron.

Washington.-A squadron of twelve
American destrOyers and one supply
ship, the U. S. S. Bridge, were ordered
by the Navy Department to proceed at
full speed to ConStantinople with sup
plies and to protect American interests
in the war zone. This announcement
was made at the Navy and State De
partmentS
The two divisions of speedy destroy
ers and the supply ship Bridge are
being sent to he Near East on recon-
mendatiOn of Rear-Admiral Mark L.
Bristol, American high commissioner
at Constantinople, to strengthen the
naval force under his command for the
protection of American interest and to
assist in relief work.
Despite the official declaration that
the additional units 20 on an errand
of mercy only, significance is seen in
the action, following so closely Tues
days announcement that the United
States approved the proposal submit
ted by the Allies to the Turkish Ma
tionalists in so far as it contemplated
freedom of the straits and protection
Of ninOritieS.
The twelve destroyers are @ the
most modern type and are eXpecTed 10
proceed at % knots an hour, Which
can be increased to 80 knots if the ST
uation should demand
The supply ship Bridge will sail
alone to avoid delaying the destrOyers.
It is a relatively slow ship. All of the
vessels will carry extra supplies, as
recommended by Admiral Bristol.
These supplies will be distributed to
refugees. The destroyers will assist in
the transportation of refugees evacu-
ated from Smyrna to nearby islands.
The persistent invasion of the neu-
trail zone by Turkish Nationalist troops
despite Allied warnings, with the pos
sibility of a serious clash, is believed
to have been large factor in Admiral
BristoPs request.
