Several native Syrians expressed the

PARIS, August {is—The assassina-
tion of the American vice-consul at
but no information has been received
in official or other quarters concerninl:
the details, The last Beirut report rc-
ccived at the Foreign Office was dated
July 7. As Beirut heretofore has been
considered quite outside the range of
Turkish disorders the French officials
say the gravity of the situation de-
pends on whether or not the shooting
was done by a Turkish soldier. which
would make the case similar to the as
sasslnatlon of M, Rostkovski. the Rus»
sian consul at Monastir. which, the ef-
fieials add would warrant a demand
‘on Turkey similar to that made by
Russia it is officially stated that It
an American squadron goes to Ttirk
ish waters the action of the United
States will not be regarded by Franct
or the other European powers as hav
ing any significance In connection with
the near Eastern situation. it is point-
ed out that the United States has al
ways refrained from taking part in the
near Eastern complications, the Euro
pean powersvassuming the burden of
that question. A leading official liken
ed the presence of an American squad
run in 'turltlsh waters to the demon
stration made by the British and Ger
man warships in Venezuelan waters.
the purpose in each case being to com
mand respect and enforce the collec
tion of damages not having any con
nection with the general political con-
dltions.
The latest official advices received
here show that the itussitin squadron
which was at lniada. on the East coast
of Turkey was withdrawn to Sebasto
pol. where it is awaiting further or-
ders. Italy has one warship Austria
has one and France has one-in Turk
lsh waters, but in each case large
squadrons are held in reserve for ac
tion if the situation becomes acute.
The increasing gravity of the uphill
lions in Turkey is further shown by
an official report just received from
Phllippopolis. giving tit-tails of the rev
ulutionary plan to blow up the Urlcntii
express. One of the plotters had been
designated to sacrifice his life by
boarding the train and throwing the
bombs_ This plot. probably, was con
nected with the dynamiting of the
omnibus train at Kulleli Burgas; but
the Phillppopolis report establishes tlic
fact that the original plan was aimed
against the leading trans European ex
press for the purpose of impressing the
world with the magnitude of the dis-
order.
The reports received here from the
French consuls at Saiouica and Mott
astir are more reassuring, They say
they have no further fear for their
lives, unless the Turkish soldiery be-
come more lawless, The reports add
that forty-nine Turkish battalions have
been withdrawn from Albania and con»
centrated around Salonica, as the Al-
banian disorders have been crushed.
The most remarkable feature of the
reports discloses the fact that the
Turkish force. which totalled 50.000
men when the troops entered Albania.
six months ago‘, have now been reduc~
ed to 35,000 men. showing a loss of fif-
teen thousand troops. Few of the sol
diers died of disease The loss was
chiefly in men killed while crushing
the Albanian uprising.

teen days-after the assassination of the
Russian Consul, M. ‘Roatkovski, did
not surprise the English-speaking peo-
ple there, as it was considered a part
of a well-laid plan of Turkish land own-
ers to bring about a European occupa-
tion of Turkish territory. For a long
time it has been understood that the
native proprietors feeling that their
investments were insecure under Turk- .
ish rule. have ben working to secure
foreign intervention and of late rue

"Done." hotly rctorted the Pctcrs
person, and pat to the occasion the new
senator appeared. He joined “the

pleasant way while they huddled about
him in suppressed excitement. Swopcs
grinned sardonically. in the back-

With sudden joy Peters turned to Alli—

"You know something about sheep

was even a little compassion for
Swopes in his tone. It seemed such an
unfair way of taking a fellow-citizen's

A pause ensued. Allison looxed

Again Allison looked over the flock
