ARMENIAN MASSACRE
TURKS DESTROY A NUMBER or
VILLAGES AFTER sLAYlNe
THE INHABITANTS.

Paris, May 13.-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 ambas-
sadors 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 Sas-
soun is practically accomplished. The
Turkish methods appear to have been
much the same as those adopted dur
ing the Armenian massacres. The
official reports do not give exact de-
tails as to the number of towns burned
and people killed, but they show that
the action of the Turks has been sweep
ing. The French authorities were ad-
vised some time ago that Turkey was
taking advantage of Russia's preoccu-
patton in the Far East and intended
to adopt decisive course toward the
rebellious Armenians.

BOOM FoR JAPANESE SONGS.

making itself felt even in our business
or course, we have not caught the war
fever so badly as the newspapers and

are beginning to desert the old home-
stead and are connecting lyrics about
acknowledged japanese maidens.
THE transition Is easy, as all COM
posers can palm off rejected Indian love
songs, so popular the last year, and put
Japanese titles to them. Still, there
are few Jap songs published, because
there are hundreds of pretty lyrics
from old Japanese comic operas that
can be drawn upon.
Not a single Russian lyric has come
under my observation, and think that
gauges the popular pulse to be strongly
pro-Japanese. or course, Japan is nat
iurally attractive to the song writer,
because it is the. land of beauty and
poetry, incense and geishas; but hold
the strange theory that Gilbert and Sui
Ivan are partly responsible for our Jap
fsypmathies. II 1t Is granted that even
comic opera stagecrafr will create q

Japanese operas that have followed
The sMikado have had some weight.
