The Christian community, which rep
resents many denominations of the
older churches, stand solidly together
in conviction of q possible repeti.
tion Of the massacres. At Adana
had an interview with the leaders OF
the orthodox Greek church, the Greek
Catholic church, the Armenian Cath
olic church, the Gregorian Armenian
church and the old Syriac church, and
they were unit in declaring that tho
attitude Of Islam toward Christians
has not changed, and that the worst
is still possible, although they have
confidence in the good intentions Of
the present Governor. Even the Rev.
w. N. Chambers, the American Board
missionary. who has been the fore
most figure In events subsequent to
the massacres, and is easily the lead
er of the \community, Is under the
same cloud of depression. Small won
der, when he recalls the murdered
friends who died is his arms, and the
bodies which he rescued from mutila-
tion.
The argument for the possibility
OF another massacre lies in the fact
that there has been no change in the
minds OF the people. The Moslems
have not been made over by the pun
ishment Of an inconspicuous few OF
their number. They still look upon
the Christians with antipathy. The
village Moslem children cry at their
Christian playmates: II am going to
get that dress when we kill YOU
A Crop Of Orphans.
The aftermath Of the massacres Is
the multitude Of orphans, each with a
story as individual and as tragic as If
his were the only story Of sorrow in
the land. have met many at Tarsus,
where 5000 Armenians refugeed in
the American school, so that only two
hundred were slain. / saw a little
boy of Z or s, whose father and broth
ers had been killed before his eyes.
l asked how he escaped. With a sig
nifcant gesture he answered: 81 lay
among the dead; that is, he had
fallen down as if slain and had wait
ed until the murderers left.
The mission schools are over
whelmed with these orphans. In Adana
they are so thick in one of the
schools, which the missionaries hope
may one day be made larger, that
they sleep on the floor so closely that
the teachers must pick their way
among their bodies in order to reach

ther back than the indubitable fact
that the one 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 massacres. The one great
weapon left in Abdul Hamid's 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 chapter mostly un-
written. Sometimes it was force
full governor who prevented the full
fillment of orders from Constantine
pie. In one case it was Young Turk
military officer, who. upon receiving
news of the plan, went into the pres
once Of the Governor and said I
want you to understand that if there
is to be massacre here, it 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
first. the Christians having been dis
armed in the interval. The Salonica
soldiers they charge with participat-

There are some things that cannot
easily be explained about tho massa.

quilted of all responsibility, yet there
is no doubt, whatever agencies con-
tributed, the real power of the mas

ere, he lifted up his hands and cried,

assured me positively. and he was
speaking az the religious head Of

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 bo no more massacres
In tho region of which he has since
taken charge. No assurance could be
moro positive than these have had
from the highest quarters.
None the less. In the interior of the
country the people feel otherwise.

Henri Grosst, the Savage advance
man, who, it is claimed, is the per.
feet sartorial gem OF his profession,
sailed yesterday the Cretic for
Mediterranean points on a five weeks
pleasure trip. At o'clock yesterday
morning Barney Reilly decided to 0

caught the ship. Quite pompously
Henri went abroad Barney followed
him in anything but pompous man
ner.
A few moments before the moorngs
were cast off Henri, talking to an.
other passenger, said:

get here in time"
Barney heard him. He knew he
was that man." and he wasn't ex-
actly pleased. Stepping up to Henri
he asked:

their own rooms. Pathetic tales Of
the murders are legion Here is one,
for instance, of widow who has to
support swarm of little children, an
aged mother, and an idiot sister, and
who herself has no training for earn
ing livelihood. The missionaries
have started industrial work among
the Armenians, and they have also
established an international hospital,
which Is to be permanent memorial
Of the Adana massacre.
Surveying the Situation.
1t seems to me as IL 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.
l!cists 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 q
duplicate of it may burst upon tho
world at almost any time. For tho
mind of Islam has not changed.
