Turks' Reason for Holding Coombs Friendliness of Government To Armenia Given as Cause For Detention of Ameri- can by Nationalists. New York, Nov. 11. The friendly attitude of the United States towards Armenia and absence of diplomatic relations with Turkey are given as reason for the Turkish nationalists' action in holding Col. J. P. Coombs, director of the American Commission for Relief n the Near East at Sam soun, according to a message from Colonel Coombs to the organization's representative in Constantinople, re ceived by cable. v Previous dispatches from Constan tinople reported trat the nationalists had refused Colonel Coombs permis sion to enter the interior on a tour of inspection or to allow him to re turn I to Constantinople. His mes sage, apparently quoting the nation alists, said that permission was re fused on three grounds: First, be cause diplomatic relations Between the Turks and the Unitedf States were not yet in force and because the United States belongs to "a political party" desiring to force the Turkish people to accept the odious Sevres treaty." The second reason was that in Oriental questions, America is "always on the side of Armenia, worst enemy of the Turks and has sustained Armenian morale material ly without taking into consideration Turkish claims." ' The third reason is that an "ac tual state of war exists between Turkey and Armenia which obliges us to prevent your journeying into the interior. . ,y . . . The Turkish' applanation " comes with the statenv.-r.t that "at present travel by Americans in or out of na tionalist territories is prohibited ex cept by special instructions from Angora.
