Ho declared'ftlE<s that it might establish a precedent for th?. passage of other foreign war- ; ships and auggesed that the American' noyoi yspht Sccrp?cn, en duty In the Turkish waters, be sent to Be a to meet the North Carolina. This was. the substance of a long cablegram irtcelved. at the white house and state department today from Am- ' bassador Morganthau, the first mes sage from him in several days. The! ambassador made no mention of any declarations of war, but referred to tho diplomatic situation as highly | critical. The ambassador reported that all Americans who wished to leave had { done so and he thought. that funds aboard t?i? North Carolina were suf fldont. for Immediate needs. ,inr view of the dedicate situation' the ! American . ambassador suggested - that the plan of sending tho Scorpion to meet tha North Carolina, outside tho straight be adopted. The incident was discussed at the navy and state de partments today and the . North Caro lina, now at Falmouth, England, will start tomorrow for the Mediterranean. She probably -. will touch.at Italian ports, and take aboard Assistant Sec retory .Breckenrldge, i reaching the Dardanelles in a Week or ten days. By-the time, of her arrival there the officials hero expect Turkey will have declared war on either Russia or on Great Britain. In that event they deem It more, prudent to keep.the cruiser ?war from the scene of pos sible ?iava! conflicts. The incident recalled past rela tions between the United States and Turkey oh;the . passage . of foreign warships through the-Dardanelles.
