less ness of the Kurds in the eastern

the demands for reforms were made

inclination to refuse to grant the de-
mands, OF, at least, TO defer giving
definite answer TO the representatives
of the powers encouraged the kurds 10
believe that the sultan tacitly supported
them in their attacks upon the Armen-
ians. Color has been lent to this belief
by the action of the sultan in giving
good service decorations to several Of
ficials who were notorionsly in favor of
DISCRIMINATING the Armenians and who
give their sanction to the massacres
that have led Turkey to the verge of

Advices from the eastern provinces
show that the condition of anarchy is
such that a very strong force will have
to be employed if any progress at all IS
to be made against the Kurds. The
porte apparently understands this fact,
for it is announced that 10000 troops
will be sent against the Kurds. Should
the latter offer resistance, it is doubt
full if even this force will be sufficiently
strong to cope with the Kurds, whose
intimate knowledge of the mountain
Gus country will stand them in good
stead in opposing the Turkish troops.
