(Vnltri prem Lated Wire.)
Washington, Dec. 26. Inquiry con
cerning the truth of a report that they
threatened to shell the port of -Tripoli,
Syria, to .uell a demonstration
against British and French citizens,
being taken away on an American
steamship, was cabled today by Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels to the
commanders of the American cruisers
North Carolina and Tennessee, at Bei
rut. It was the second time within 10
days that Secretary Daniels had heard
that the two cruisers had "threatened
bombardment" of Turkish towns In
order to save aliens.
In the absence of confirmation from
Ambassador -Morgenthau or the com
manders of the cruisers. Secretary
.Daniels Ignored the first report. Re
iteration today, however, caused him
to seek the truth.
The latest report was that one of
the cruisers requisitioned an American
steamship at Tripoli to transport the
British and French consuls and other
foreign citizens and that a mob tried
to prevent their ernbarcation. Sev
era! members of the steamship's crew
were reported injured in the fight
which followed. The melee was re
ported to have been quieted by a
threat of bombardment by one of the
American1 -cruiser. It was ' also re
ported that American Ambassador
Morgenthau had protested to the
xurklsh government, but confirmation
from the diplomatic representative
was lacking.

By J. W. T. Mason.
Former European Manager for the
United Press.
New Tork, Dec. 26.- The curious
fact that many soldiers from the front
celebrated Christmas In London res
taurants yesterday Is an Instance of
the extent to which psychology has
rendered war a series of scientific
problems.
The British war office has arranged
to grant as many leaves , of absence
from the firing line as possible, be
cause psychologists have determined
that homesickness Is an important
factor in decreasing the vitality of
armies.
The troopers who, direct from bat
tle, spent Christmas day at home, were
not given especial facilities on account
of the holidays; they were simply the
lucky ones whose leaves of absence
happened to coincide with tne anniver
sary. Ziesson Learned in Africa.
The first scientific study of the
homesickness problem, as it affects
troops, began during the soutn Airlcan
war. In this conflict. Great Britain
was compelled to accept as volunteers
manv thousands of ordinarily home-
staying citizens. At the other end of J
the world, whither they were sent.
it was found that after the first ex
citement wore away, these men became
despondent.
A curious form of melancholia pre
vailed in the army. It frequently took
the form of a reckless indifference to
the enemy's bullets, bordering closely,
psychologically, on the suicidal tem
perament. This malady, arwer being variously
diagnosed, was discovered nnally to
be an epidemic of nostalgia. The
victims wanted to see their wives and
longed for a sight of their children..
It was homesickness, notniri more.
Some of the officers were able to
secure permission xor meir men a
wives to visit South Arrica, ana after
short reunions of this kind, the change
in the soldiers' spirits was remarkable.

Front, Must Pay Own Way, ,
Their normal virtues were restored and
their efficiency showed a wonderful
improvement. 1
This lesson, learned in South Africa,
the British are putting to use in the
present war.
Steady Stream Over Channel.
A regular transport service has been
organized between the French and Bel
gian frontier ami England. Two
streams of soldiers cross the channel
daily. One -on its way home and the
other back to the front.
Thus there is always in England a
iairiy large number of troops who are
veterans of the firing line.
Incidentally, this has the effect of
stimulating recruiting, though that is
an accidental and secondary result of
the system. Primarily, its purpose is
to keep up the spirits of the men at
we iront.
The splendid fjshtine oualil th
British troops in the western fighting
zone have displayed undoubtedly are
due In great measure to these precau
tions to prevent homesickness.
The soldiers themselves have to con
tribute to some extent to this plan for
maintaining their efficiency. . They
aro not granted free transportation to
, their homes. Tickets are issued to
them at reduced rates, but for them
the men must themselves pay. A
movement has been, started to compel
the government to issue free passes,
but the war office refuses to shoulder
the expense.
The war office argument is that all
men are not subject to nostalgia and
that, by enforcing a financial sacrifice.
a rough rule Is established for limit
ing leaves of absence to actual suffer
ers from homesickness.
