London. Futher evidence that
the massacrees in Adana province
OF Asiatic Turkey were pre-arranged
and aided by the government, came
to light last Tuesday in the publica-
ton In the Evening News of a letter
from a resident Of Mersina.
The letter was written on April II
and was sent from Smyrna.
Among other things, the writer
says: THE troops, on whom we re-
lied for safety, are acting like beasts.
They are committing the most abom-
Unable atrocities and are shooting the
helpless Christians who attempt to
escape.
There is no doubt that the exter-
mination of the whole Armenian pop
ulation Of the province was precon-
certed. The massacres broke out in
half a dozen places almost simulta-
neously, and in every place the troops
either actively aided in the butchery
or passively permitted it.
THE only native Christians in
many towns who escaped we're those
who fled early in the trouble with the

The plot, revealed to the sheriff by
a foreigner who was imprisoned in
