developed by Sherman was the
suggestion that the United States

that Warren Township boys as

Schoolboys recommend the
spot TO each other-as evidenced
by the large Detroit group which
became truants en- masse-since
they regard it as a spot far from
the disciplinary reach of truant
officers. Hellinger said the
abandoned clay pit waters are
very deep, and tragedy might
easily occur.

Turks Study
Hu||'s Plea
Trode with Reich
Bosis of Request

ANKARA, April 13-(Delay-
edD-(P)-The Turkish govern
ment, faced by one of the most
delicate problems with which it
has been confronted since the
start of the war, apparently is
giving the most serious consider
alton to Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull's plea to neutral ma
tons to cease trading with Ger
many.
There is no indication that the
government has reached any de-
cision as yet, but the continu-
Gus round of conferences which
has been under way here makes
1t plain that the situation is be-
Sing examined infinitely and in
the light of every conceivable
contingency.
What solution the Turks are
tending toward - whether a
complete severance of trade
with Germany, some kind of
compromise, or an attempt to
Justify continuance of their
present course-is problemati-
cal. Any predictions before the
end of the present governmental
and party deliberations would
be premature.
American and British ems
bassy officials say that no for
NAL note asking the Turks to
cut their trade with Germany
has been delivered yet, although
ii rs possible one may be re-
ceivcd.
Both the Americans and Brit
ons, meanwhile, appear to be
marking time until the end of
the Turkish consultations.
HAlPs request is matter of
far-reaching Importance TO

pepding upon Germany for
