But n" Turkish government is opposed to
any r-!ief Of the Armenian gu fferers. as ]
personally know. Last August. before l had
auv idea If becoming a fellow citizen with
yai W~4saingtonians, 5000 for Armenian

telegram was sent to Constantinoule asking
if tla Turkish Government would grant me
protection on such au erranl Of mercy.
A catlngram said the Turkish GoFern-
mcnt wished 10 know t. what p5inls in
Armenia | desired t. q with that reiies. In
our reply four cities Were named. one OF
them the sceue Of wha- had bsen the chief
