The latter are no better for all their
plumber, for Come easy, go easy"
Most Of it has been spent in dissipa-
ton and gambling. The latter vice
sits heavily upon Adana.
Another reason, greater than the
loot, was the carrying of Of Christian
girls and women to Turkish harems.
This is a phase of the massacre which
naturally cannot be written about in
detail. 1t was no case of haphazard
plumber, such as that In which the
Sabines used to figure; it was rather
TURKS making choice Of the daugh.
tiers Of ~neighbors with whose I'M
yelled faces they were familiar. Each
mar had his prize marked before the
signal was given. And this applied
also to loot as well as to lust.
One typical instance was recalled to
me, as / met a woman who had lost
in the massacre every member of her
own and her husbands family. Her
daughter, l wal informed. was one OF
the twenty-seven Armenian girls who
braided their hair together and per.
ished in a burning house, taking this
means Of making sure that none Of
them in an agony Of pain would es-
cape from the fiery prison, which was
really q deliverance from the fate
they most dreaded.
It Is undoubtedly true that some Of
the Armenians had been indiscreet in
the Use they made of the liberties
granted by the constitution, they talk
ing patriotism and a possible renewal
of the ancient Armenian kingdom.
They followed the general custom Of
carrying firearms and they openly
practiced with them. They were
flamboyant and injudicious, and gave
this slight pretext for the awful
crimes which followed.
The Holy Law of Blood.
The fundamental cause must be
sought deeper than any of the consid.
erations named. The reason lying
at the bottom of the massacres may
not be doubted. It Is clear to who
ever would look. It was the appeal
Of Abdul Hamid to the holy law of
the Sheriat. One need not go far.

the murders are legion. Here Is one,
for instance, Of a widow who has to
support a swarm Of little children, an
aged mother, and an idiot sister, and
who herself has no training for earn.

the Armenians, and they have also

Of the Adana massacre.

It seems to me as if Remember
Adana" should be written on the mind
Of the Young Turk party when It is
tempted to boast; and also before
the eyes Of all the statesmen and pub
licists who have anything at all to do
with affairs in the Turkish empire.
There are some reasons why this
massacre may not easily be repeated,
but there are greater reasons why a
duplicate Of 1t may burst upon the
world at almost any time. For the
mind Of Islam has not changed.

Their back than the indubitable fact
that the n line Of division which
marked the massacre was the line
Of religion. 1t was Islam raising the
sword against Christianity. The
Sheriat was the bond that held to-
gether the murderers' legions. The
power of the hodjas and mollahs was
the machinery chiefly used in organ
izing the m%assacres. The one great
weapon left in Abdul Hands hands
was his office as Caliph, "the Com
mander of the Faithful" So, to con
found the plans of the Young Turks,
and to invoke foreign Intervention, he
gave the command to strike. Only
the power of the Young Turks pre-
vented similar massacres in many
places. This Is a chapter mostly III
written. Sometimes 1t was a force
full governor who prevented the full
f1llment Of orders from Constantine
pie. In one case it was a Young Turk
military officer. who, upon receiving
news Of the plan, went into the pres
ence Of the Governor and said: I
want you to understand that II there
is to be a massacre here, 1t will begin
with you"
In Adana, strangely enough, most Of
the Christians still blame the Young
Turks for at least a measure Of re-
s~ponsibility. They say that the Young
Turks wanted to give a lesson to the
turbulent Armenians and Macedo.
mans. They point out that the worst
massacre occurred nine days after the
first, the Christians having been dis
armed in the interval. The Salonica
soldiers they charge with participant

There are some things that cannot
easily be explained about the massa.
ere, If the New Regime Is to be &C.
quilted of all responsibility, yet there
is no doubt, whatever agencies con-
tributed, the real power of the mas
sacre lay in the ineradicable hatred
for Christians on the part of the fol-
lowers Of the Prophet.
VIII There 30 Another?
When I asked the Minister Of the
Interior In Constantinople, Talaat
Bey, If there could be another massa-
ere. he lifted up his hands and cried,
God forbid" The Shefkh I'll Islam
assured me positively, and he was
speaking as the religious head of
Islam in the Turkish government,
that such a thing could not occur
again. The enlightened and strong.
handed governor Of this province,
tDjemal Bey, gave me his word that
there would be no more massacres
ir the region of which he hss since
taken charge. No assurance could be
more positive than these I have aad
from the highest quarters.
Mono the less, in the interior Of the
country the people feel otherwise.
