Dispatches and letters from Uru-

Tabriz, In northwestern Persia', bay
that American Presbyterian mission
aries stationed there are In great dan-
ger, as Turkish regular troops and,
Kurds nre persecuting nnd massa-,
ciing Syrian Christians. An act of
heroism by Harry P. Packatd, doctor i
of the mlslonary station at Urumlah
of the board of foreign missions of
the Presbyterian church, saved the
lives of 3r000 Syrians at Geogtapa,
where they hadmado a last stand be-j
fore their persecutors. Their atnmu-.
nltlon was gone after a three days
fight, nnd a massacre was Imminent,
when Dr. Packard, with an American
flag In his hands, advanced between
the two lines. The Turks and Kurds
withdrew, and all of the Syrians es

CATTLE SHIPPED
UP NORTH TODAY
THItKK CARLOADS OF REEF
STOCK ARE SENT TO PORT
LAND STOCKYARDS BY LOCAL
STOCK DEALERS '
Two carloads of cattle were shipped
from Klamath Falls aud one from
Midland today for Portland by How
ard & Davis. These are the first
Klamath Falls cattle to be sent to the
Portland Union stockyards for some
time, and the grading and prices they
receive are being awaited with Inter
est by the local shippers.
Complaint has been made by some
that the Portland market, while It
olfers In some instances more attrac
tive prices for stock, cut3 the profits
fiom shipments thero by too strict a'
grading. Out of a carload, some soy,
there will bo very few animals re-j
celvlng top prices, the others being 1
ratod as common or poorer. j
If the prices and gradlngs at Port
land are what the local men believe
thoy should be, there Is reason to ex
pect that some of the several carloads
of stock that are sent out of this
country overy week will be delivered
to Portland, Instend of going to Cali
fornia markets.
Tho cattle Howard & Davis sent
out todny were raised In the Fort
Klamath country. They were pur
chased from the Nicholson ranch.

WILSON'S NOTE TO
GERMANY ASKS A
DEFINITE ANSWER
i tiheil l'if .snrvli
WASHINGTON, l. C, May lis. The Mule department is putting Into
lii.lier code President Wilson's message to Germany on the sinking of the
1'iye, CusliinK. I'nbiba, Giililight and the LusltnnUi.. It Is reported that a
portion lias nlready been rallied to b'uiled Stutes Ambaswudor Gerard at
IK'ilio.
Secretary Dryan today mated thai tlio note would be In the hands of
German officials tomorrow. The note, lie buys, will be published here to
morrow. Wilson', work In connection with the message Is complete. He speat
tin. da)' iiulotnoblllng.
One mutter that the note Insist-, upon is a reply, outlining definitely
Germany's policy.
Aniei lea's attitude, ns expressed In the note, is that Germany must
net, not quibble or promise.
It Is evident from the attitude of high ofllclaLs Uiat America's attitude
states plainly that this country has reached u ciisls in lu affairs.
In Wilson's message the tile is cust lu terms that cannot be posalWjr
misinterpreted. It states that America considers tlio killing of a hundred
or more American citizens on the I.usltuiiiu as n. innnstioiis crime against
ririlljition.
Following the Fnlabu, Gushing and Gulf light Incidents, the Ltultaala
iitfuir is ebnrncterized as open hostility to America's position, that of a
dear friend. It is a realization, the note Is reported to say, that the friend.
ship has been violated without warrant.
There will bo no extra session of congress called at once, despite the
many rumors to that effect.
President Wilson realizes that even though Germany's answer to the
noto Is such as to cause a break between the two nations, there will still be
plenty of time left In which to take steps to maintain the. national honor.
