much emphasis on Americanism in the
Ottoman empire, when tell you that
America, notwithstanding all the dis

and $4,000 children in her Sabbath
schools, and that America has expend-

this country. That poor, cowardly
sultan, whom saw a few years ago
ride to his mosque for worship, guard

mounted on prancing chargers will
hear Of these sympathetic meetings for
the Armenians, if not through Amer.
lean reporters, then through some of
his 300 wives. What to do with him?

But the Turkish government is OPP
posed to any relief of the Armenian
sufferers, as personally know. Last
August, before had any idea of be-
coming a fellow citizen of you Wash
ingtonians, $4,000 for Armenian re-
lief was offered me if / would per-
sonally take that relief to Armenia. |
My passage was to be engaged on |
the City of Paris, but a telegram was |
sent to Constantinople, asking il |
the Turkish government would grant |
me protection on such an errand of |
mercy. A cablegram said the Turk |
ish government wished to know to |
what points in Armenia / wished to go |
with that relief. In our reply four
cities were named, one of them the
scene of what had been the chief mas
sacre. A cablegram came from Con-
stantinople saying that / had better
send the money to the Turkish govern
ment's mixed commission and they
would distribute it. So a cobweb OF
spiders proposed a relief committee for
unfortunate flies! Well, a man who
would start up through the mountains
of Armenia with $50, 900 and no gov
ernmental protection would be guilty
of monumental foolhardiness The
Turkish government has in every pos
sible way hindered Armenian relief.
Now where is that angel of mercy,
Clara Barton, who appeared on the
battlefelds of Fredericksburg, Antie-
tam, Falmouth and Cedar Mountain,
and under the blaze of French and
German guns Mt Metz and Paris, and
in Johnstown floods, and Charleston
