Bey, the Turkish ambassador to Has
la, left Petrograd today with his staff
after having been assaulted by the
Russian employes of his own embas-
y.
The allies previously had rejected
the sultan's partial, apology for the
acts of hostility by Turkish warships
Hostilities apparently being Inevit
able, the ambassador began prepara
tions to leave. Russian help at the
embassy demanded four months' ar
rears In pay and 'he ambaaador re
piled that It would be forthcoming
when the Turks took Odessa. The at
tack upon him followed.
One clerk struck him upon the Jaw
and when the police were called they
refused to Interfere. Members of hi
staff flnully succeeded In protecting
the diplomat, snd he and his party
left by way of'FlnlanJ.
"Russia." proclaimed a manifesto
which the czar Issued today, welcom
ing a war with the sultan, "will re
ceive this fresh sggres'lon on the part
of the undent persecutor of the Chris
tlnn people with tranquility. The
slavs will meet the Issue with confi
dence, realising that, with God's help,
their valiant armies will triumph
again over the Turkish hordes and
punish the Indolent foes of the father,
land."
It Is expected that within a week
an Imperial decree will be Issued ex
pelling all Turks from Russia.
The sultan's apology took the form
of nn expression of regret for the at
tack on Russia In the Black sea and
offered to withdraw his fleet from
those waters.
The allies Insisted that the cruisers
Ooebcn snd llrealau be put out of
commission until the end of the war,
that German officers In Turkish .ser
vice Ik dismissed, and, according to
some accounts, that the Turkish army
' le demobilized.
The Constantinople government
showed no signs of acceding to these
terms.
