Turkish A mba?*?juIor Issues State ment AH to English Attitude. Washington, Sept. 7.-Charging that tile intimation hy Great Britain to the United States that she would welcome the presence ot' American warships in Turkish waters to protect Christians was merely a '"vulgar trap" to get the United States "mixed in the European fruy on the allies' ?side, A. Itustem Bey, Turkish am bassador here, issued to-night the following statement: "According to to-day's papers, Creal Britain, following in the foot steps of France, has agitated before Hie eyes of the United States the spectre of a massacre of Christians in Turkey and has made this gruesome picture of the immediate future, drawn with absolute disregard te truth, & pretext for requesting the United States to dispatch warships to Turkish jiorts. That there have been massacres in Turkey, 1 cannot, un fortunately, deny, but the Armenians and Maronites, who were the vic tims, suffered at the hands of the Moslems, not as Christians, but as political agitators engaged In under mining tho Ottoman Sta*,e, the while flaunting in the face of the govern ment and dominant race the support Of Russia, France and England. "Great Britain and France have embarked upon a new campaign of provocation against Turkey, secretly hoping that as a result of lt some thing untoward may happen in that country to confirm their sinister pre dictions, so that the United States finally would be prevailed upon to detach warships to the Levant and thus get mixed in the European af fray on the allies' side, but I believe the administration too sagacious to fall into such a vulgar trap."

Grey, (British Secretary for Foreign Affairs.) "Paul Camhon, (French Ambassa dor to Great Britain.) "Benckendorff, (Russian Ambas sador to Great Britain.") Sea in English Grasp. Washington. Sept. 5.-Brltnlny's - confidence that the main trade routes of the North Atlantic have been swept clear of German war craft was demonstrated clearly to-day when the State Department formally was noti fied by the British ambassador that his government had decided to dis arm British merchant craft plying be tween England and the United States. The notification is construed to mean that Britain no longer fears the ac tivities of German naval reserve steamers, designed to prey on the commerce of the allies, and has suc cessfully bottled up German and Aus trian cruisers while her own cruiser fleet is free to guard ocean lanes.

"The country surrounding Antwerp now has a remarkable appearance as the dikes to the southwest of Malines were opened by the Belgians and the entire district was flooded.

The correspondence wa3 made public at the While House to day. "America is greater than any party," the President wrote. "America cannot properly be serv ed by any man who for a moment measures his Interest against her ad vantage. The time has como for great things. These are days as big for tho destiny of the United States as for the other nations of the world. A little wisdom, a little cour age, a little self-forgetful devotion may, under God, turn that destiny this way or that. Great hearts, great natures, will respond. liven little men will rejoice to be stimulated and guided and set an heroic example. Parties will fare well enough with out nursing If the men who make them up and the men who lead them forget themselves to serve a cause, and set a great people forward on the path of liberty and peace."
