Intense excitment resulted Mon
day morning at shinnston from a
chain OF burglaries commse.ed there

Three business places we're visited,
the last OF which was the postofice.
50 far there is no clue to the
identity OF the burglars as they
scattered cayenne pepper in the places
they rtl1oed in order to prevent
the use Of b.oodhounds in running
them down. As a result quest for
the guilty persons win have to be
made in some other way and it is
doubtful whether they will be
caught.
At Mutu swiger's jewelry store
they broke open rear door, en-
tered and went through the cash
drawer, getting some change be-
loaging TO the store and the money
collected at the Baptist Sunday

the murders are legion. Here is one,
for instance, of widow who has to

aged mother. and an idiot sister, and
who herself has no training for earn

the Armenians, and they have also
established an international hospital.
which is to be a permanent memorial
of the Adana massacre.
Surveying the Situation.
It seems to me as II Remember
Adana" should be written on the mind
of the Young Turk party when 1t is
tempted to boast: and also before
the eyes OF all the statesmen and pub
licists who have anything at all to do
v It'll affairs in the Turkish empire.
There are some reasons why this
massacre may not easily be repeated,
but there are greater reasons why
duplicate of it may burst upon the
world at almost any time. For the
mind of Islam has not changed.

lens, is q temptation that provokes
the massacres. This would make the
end chiefly sought not vengeance but
simply loot. Certainly, in addition to
the massacres, the houses and stores
of the Christians were completely gut
ted. l saw whole lines of shops that
had been stripped bare by the Turks.
The latter are no better for all their
plumber. for Como easy. go easy"
Most of 1t has been spent in dissipa-
ton and gambling. The latter vice
sits heavily upon Adana.
Another reason, greater than the
loot, was the carrying off of Christian
girls and women to Turkish harems.
This is phase of the massacre which
naturally cannot be written about In
detail. It was no case of haphazard
plumber, such as that In which the
Sabines used to figure; 1t was rather
Turks making choice Of the daugh-
tiers of neighbors with whose I'M
yelled faces they were familiar. Each
man had his prize marked before the
signal was given. And this applied
also to loot as well as to lust.
Ono 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, was 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 a deliverance from the fate
they most dreaded.
1t 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. 1t is clear to who
ever would look. 1t was the appeal
of Abdul Hamid to the holy law of
the Sheriat. One need not go far
Rocky Ford enterprise. (Rocky Ford, Colo.) 1887-1950, 1911-09-08

Their back than the indubitable fact
that the one line of division which
marked the massacre was the line
of religion. It 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 massacres. 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 I'M
written. Sometimes 1t was force
full governor who prevented the full
fillment of orders from Constantine
pie. In one case 1t was Young Turk
military officer. who. upon receiving
news of the plan. went into the pres
ence of the Governor and said:
want you to understand that IL 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-
sponsibility. 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
TL-f- h., haa
armed in the interval. The Salonica
soldiers they charge with participant
Ing in the Staying Of the Christians.
There are some things that cannot
easily be explained about the massa-
ere, IL 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 Be Another7
When l 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 Sheikh III 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,
Djemal Bey, gave me his word that
there would be no more massacres
in the region of which he has since
taken charge. No assurance could be
more positive than these have had
from the highest quarters.
None the less. in the interior Of the
country the people feel otherwise.
