CRUISER'S CAPTAIN
DENIES TURK SHOT
WAS HOSTILE ACT
Report of Tennessee's Com
mander Shows No Un
friendly Intention, But In
vestigation Will Be Pushed
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21,
That the firing of a shot across tho
bow of tho launch of the United States
cruiser Tenncsseo while It waB attempt
ing to enter tho harbor of Smyrna, Asi
atic Turkey, was not a hostile act, Is
the opinion of tho captain of that cruiser.
This was matlo plain In n statement Is
sued by Secretary to tho President Tu
multy this afternoon. Dcsplto 'the Btote
monts of Captain Decker, tho enttro
mnttcr Is to bo fully Investigated, and
tho Turkish Government has been asked
for Its version.
Mr. Tumulty's statement, which was
Issued after a consultation with Presi
dent Wilson, was as follows:
"The public nlreody knows what hap
pened, namely, a boat from tho Tenncs
seo tried to cuter tho harbor, a harbor
which the Turkish Government had de
clared closed. A shot was .(lied across
her bow to stop her. Tho captain of the
Tennessee leports that this was not In
tended its a hostile act.
"A full Investigation of tho matter Is
being made and an explanation has been
nsked of tho Turkish Government. Pre
vious attempts to communlcute with Am
bispador Morgenthau In Constantinople
have led to delays of as much as a
week."
Secietary of the Navy Daniels an
nounced this afternoon thnt tho original
mccsago from Captain Docker, which ar
rived here on tho 18th, contained the
uotds "net not hostile."
No explanation was made for tho with
holding fot thieo days of this vital con
tent of the message. Donlal was made
that tho department hnd over stated that
such words were not In Captain Decker's
telegram.
It was explained that because of
chaotic communication It had been Im
possible to learn nhat tho Tonncssco's
captain meant when he said thnt tho
Consul at Smyrna entertained fears for
tho snfety of the Consulnto. That ii
what tho Administration now most wants
to know.
If there have been any threats mado
against tho American Consul at Smyrna,
Turkey will bo held to strict account
ability. Hut until Ambassndor Morgen
thau reports on the entire circumstances
President Wilson will retain an "open
mind" on the matter.
It Is not believed hero thnt Turkey,
under any clrcttnistnnccs will do other
wise than protect American Interests, nnd
If any nlTront Iioh been offered It la be
lieved that proper reparation will bo
made.

A. (a) Tho 15th Amendment to tho
Constitution of the United States was
brought forward ns a necessary supple
ment to tho second section ot tho
14th. A long discussion In Congress
preceded tho final definite phrasing of tho
amendment. Tho amendment was pro
posed February 2(5, 1869, nnd passed tho
Senntc S9 to 13. On tho previous day It
passed tho House HI to 103.1 members not
voting. It wns then submitted to tho States
separately, Tennessee tnktug no action
upon It, nnd wns rejected by California,
Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Now Jer
sey nnd Oregon. Georgia and Ohio nt first
rejected nnd then ratified It. New York
at first ratified It and then rescinded its
notion. To sum up, the amendment was
first voted on by tho Houso and then
passed the Senate, after which It was sub
mitted to the people of tho various States
for their acceptance or rejection.

CZAR'S ARMY TRAPS
ONRUSHING GERMANS
IN WESTERN POLAND
Tables Ate Turned in
Bloody Battle Between
Vistula and Warthe R'ivcrs.
KniRPr's Pronress to War
saw Again Blocked.
. PETP.OQP.AD, Nov, 21.
Of the three battle nreas In the eastern
theatre of war, that In Poland between
tho Vistula and the Warthe Blvera Is
now being drenched with blood In the
'most desperate fighting of tho Itusso
Oerman Wnr,
Tho IMflslah War Office claims that
the Ocrman offensive 111 this Bectlon has
been partly checked. Losses on both
sides have been exceedingly heavy, and
detnlls rctclved hero of tho fighting along
the banks of the nlvcr BzUra, upon which
tho Ilusslnns retired, bring stories of
a trap Into which the German cavalry
rode.
Tho ItUBslans, withdrawing along tho
Bura, mined tho banks. Tho Germans
pressed forward In hot pursuit seeking n
crossing. When a heavy detachment had
reached the river tho mines wero ex
ploded. Tho destruction was terrible.
Men and horses wero blown to atoms.
Wounded riders nnd their mangled
mounts wero thrown Into tho river.
The Germans have been forced to act
on tho defensive In tho battle between the
Vistula and Warthe itlvcrs. Their lnt
effort to pierce tho Russian lino north of
Kutno resulted In ono of their cavalry
divisions getting Into n crossfire from
tho ltusslnn Infantry Intrenched with a
strong support of machine guns.
More than 3000 dead and wounded wero
left on the field by tho Germans, and tho
vanguard of their advanco fell back on
tho main body, which Is now spreading
Itself among tho defensive positions
around tho woods.
The Russian prcsmiro continues without
any necessity of transferring troops from
the nrmy working through Soldttu or
from tho operations against the line from
Knllsz to Czenstochowa.
Tho official statement says:
"Tho Gorman attempts to break through
our nrmles in Poland havo been severely
chocked, which, according to present In
dications, li likely to havo decisive con
sequences for tho enemy.
"Tho capturo of a battery northwest of
Lodz Is extremely significant. It mean's
that u ltusslnn Hanking movement hns
be on partly successful In tho direction
of Pletrlkow. Tho Germans havo suf
fered severe rovorsos In that district ow
