Young Turk Tells Of Sultan,s Hideous Barbarity
and Why His Party DidNot Hang the Monster

governor ordered q company OF
soldiers before him and said: by
hfs msjesty's command to kill all
Christians and spare none, / COM
mant you TO fire upon those chill
dren until all are dead"
1 need not relate all that my
friend wrote me of the unspeaka-
BILE sight that followed. 1t is
enough to say that on that very
night my friend left Adana for
Constantinople armed with such
conclusive proof that the sultan
himself was responsible for the
massacres as to leave not the
slightest room for doubt.
This information was reported
in full to Shevket Pasha, leader of
the Young Turks. And my friend
was appointed one of those to go
to the sultan in his palace and
place him under arrest as q man
unfit to rule a great country whose
people had begun to see the light
and were struggling for freedom.
Not few Americans has asked
me "Why didn't they hang the
sultan?" and my answer is that he
deserved hanging, but that 1t was
wiser not to. Let him live, re-
pent and die" was the answer of
the conservative Young Turks to
those who wanted to put the old
tyrant out of the way.
One great reason why the Young
Turks seized the government was
their fear that with the Outrageous
rule of the sultan as an excuse,
some European powers would step
in and partition Turkey.
Beside this, the Young Turks
were by no means absolutely sure
of maintaining their hold on the
government and 1t must be realized
that the old sultan still had and
still has some loyal subjects.
There is still another reason
the sultan has wealth-estimated
at $250,O00,OO0, some of it invest
ed in foreign countries. II he
we're executed, the state could
never obtain possession of 1t. AS
1t is, the government of Turkey has
succeeded in laying hands on abou
I$5O.000,000 of the money which
Abdul and his ancestors have
wrung from their down-troddeI
people.
That a new sun is dawning or
Turkey and that the new sun is
already above the horizon, shall
next attempt to prove to you.

governor asked them.
For moment the children were
overawed, then one holder than
the rest of them spoke up: "Our
parents told us that IL ever we
were lost we must call for Jesus.
Are you Jesus?"
Then the governor knew that
they were Christian children and
he said: mo. am not your Jesus,
you little Christian dogs, but will
tell you where you can find your
Jesus. March right over to that
open space and you will soon see
your eJsus.
In apparent confidence that the
promise would be fulfilled, the
children did as he ordered. Then
occurred one of the most horrible
things he had ever witnessed. That

and when IL became apparent that
there would be exciting times in
Turkey, he returned there. AS an
emissary for the Young Turks he
was sent to Adana at the beginning
of the massacres there, and from
Adana he wrote me several letters.
l cannot describe to you the hor-
rors that he wrote me about, of
the thousands of Christians, young
and old, women and children, ruth
lessly slaughtered in the streets of
that city.
On one of the days when the
slaughter was at its height, group
of Christian children, about 70 of
them, whose parents had been
killed, came running down the
street toward the palace. At the
gates of the palace they were met
by the governor in his official
robes. To what followed my

the existence of the trust it paid
1872 per cent in dividends on the

that a general increase on the

says Bristow, actually controls the

of the recent tariff bill, were

The S3S were mostly at home,
however. There were not more
than 500 persons in the hall, visi-

were insurgents, but the rules

allowed the head of delegations
present to vote the whole number,
so it made a great showing.
The real temper of the conven-

McCredie-Ashton combine had
been endorsed there were calls
for Ashton. He came to the plat

it was drowned by shouts for

spoke for half an hour and laid
it down flat that If the people sent
him to the senate he would vote

would not take orders from any

After the stand-patters had had

Later l attended and graduated

Then literally provided with
money by my father I came to
New York, intending to perfect my
education by attending Harvard.
About the last words | heard my
father say (and he still lives in
Constantinople) were: MY son,
you are going among an infidel
people. Do not make friends or
they will lead you from the relig-
ion of your fathers" And So
came to New York a devout Mo-
hammedan.
But one day I became involved
in a religious discussion with an
Episcopalian bishop and he made
the remark that was too ignorant
of Christianity to discuss it. Then
l felt myself badly stung, as you
Americans slang it, and l said II
would study the teachings of the
Nazarine Christ to the bottom. The
result was that l became a Chris
tian and I am ready to die for my
adopted faith. The result was also
that my father, when he learned of
1t, wrote me that must renounce
Christianity or be forever banished
from his house. l refused, and
