His Mission
By Associated Press
New York, March 27. —The Grand
Vizier of Turkey has Issued Instruc
tions to his subordinates that all In
habitants of the mobridden section of
Persia, Including the thousands of
Christians in the vicinity of Urumlah,
must be protected, according to advices
received from the State Department
by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions.
Reports from Urumiah, made public
yesterday, announced that .the large
village of Gulpashan had been destroy
ed. its men shot and women outraged
and that sixty-five refugees had been
taken from the French and American
mission compounds and hanged on
scaffolds erected In the French mis
sion yard. A massacre Impended, ac
cording to this message, which had
been delayed In transmission and was
several days old when made public.
The communication from the State
Department was signed by Robert
Hanslng, counselor of the department,
and was written under date of yester
day.
Protection Ordered
"Mr. Danslng advises us," said
George T. Scott, assistant secretary of
the board, that Ambassador Morgen
thati at Constantinople had communi
cated to the Grand Vizier the request
of the State Department for protection
of Americans in the vicinity of Uru
miah. The Grand Vizier, the letter says,
expressed the belief that the reports of
outrages there were inaccurate and
told Mr.. Morganthau he would imme
diately instruct his subordinates to
protect all inhabitants of the section.
Including, of course, the Christians."
Mr. Scott added that the board was
not as apprehensive at present as the
safety of American missionaries In the
district as it had been.
