DETERMINATION AT sAssouN

Paris, May 1i.-An official dispatch
to the foreign office from Constantine
pie confirms the reports that Turkish
troops have burned villages through
out the Sassoun district of Armenia,
killing the inhabitants. The French
ambassador, M. Constans, has joined
with the Russian and British ambassa-
doris in sending consuls to Erzeroum,
in the hope of limiting the destruction
and bloodshed.
However, the official advices, al
though brief, indicate that the work of
exterminating the Armenians occupy
ing the mountainous district Of Eas-
SCUM is practically accomplished.
The Turkish methods appear to
have been much the same as those
adopted during the
Armenian Massacres.
The official reports do not give ex.
act details as to the number of towns
burned and people killed, but they
show that the action of the Turks has
been sweeping.
The French authorities were advised
some time ago that Turkey YVES taking
advantage of Russia's preoccupation in
the Far East and intended to adopt a
decisive course toward the rebellious
Armenians.
The information then showed that
the Turks would begin the work Of
suppression about April Is. In order
to prevent this, the powers made ar
energetic protest. This delayed Tur
keys action, which, however, has now
been executed with the same severity
as at first contemplated.
