VICTIMS OF TURKS
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND ARMENI-
ANS HAVE PERISHED.


New York. May 3. - The National
American Relief committee has re-
ceived the following document from
Turkey:
1T is more than eve months that
sword. fire. famine and cold have been
doing their dreadful work among lis.
Not less than 100000 people have fall
en- victims To the prosecutors. More
that 10000 of our number have. under
threats of instant death, protested
Islam. Thousands of u sisters and
daughters have been violently carried
of TO the haremS of Turks and Kurds.
Not less than 5000 of our prominent
men, including many GregOrian
priests and Protestant pastors and
teachers, are languishing in Turkish
prisons and dungeons, arrested on ut
terly baseless charges and given no
opportunity to vindicate themselves.
n very large part Of our property has
been stolen or destroyed, and all our
business is paralyzed, so that the prop
erty we still w is for the present
largely worthless. or do We yet see
any signs of marked improvement i'm
our condition. 1t is true, massacre and
open plumber have been forbidden.
but u mOslem neighbors are still
maintaining a fiercely insulting and
threatening attitude toward us as a
race, and even We're they constrained
to abandon their bloody purposes. the
fanatical fury of the moSlcm peoples
among whom we live having Deer so
merely inf1amed, is quite sufficient
even against any feeble efforts the
government might be constrained to
make, to complete the work of de
Struction already so far accomplished.
I'VE have long since abandoned all
hope Of any political rights or stand
ing in this land. The only position
possible for us is that Of SerfS. We
have cherished the hope of effective
ala from Christian nations. 1t has
failed us, and we are sacrificed to
political and selfish ambition. What,
then, are we To do2 Three courses of
action are open to us. First. we can
surrender all that our fathers have
chung to during their many years of
oppression and suffering. we can
abandon Il faith, profess islam and
o ourselves and our children in the
mass of the mOSlem masters. or. sec
ond, we car go on patiently dragging
the chains of our OppreSSOrS and bear
ing thei insults and abuses, wasting
away our lives and our strength in
ignoble servitude. or. third. we can
seek in other lands and among liberty
loving people, new homes and new
hopes OF enterprise and hope"
