CHRISTIANS MASSACRED BY
TURKS AT BURUK CHEKMOEJE

LONDON, Feb. 12-The whole male
Christian population of the seaport of
Buvuk Chekmoeje was assembled in
the village school house by Turks and
massacred. Subsequently the Turks
killed all the Christian women and
children except the young girls, whom
they carried off.
1t is this bloodthirsty people whom
the powers" of Europe are trying to
protect and save from the "allies" and
will no doubt finally force to arbi-
tration. 1t makes ones blood run cold
to think the Turk is permitted to rule
any spot on earth in this day of prog

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Wall street
men familiar with Mexican financial
affairs were not surprised today by.
the turn Of events bringing Francisco
Leon de la Barra once more to the
forefront of that agitated country's
political situation. 1t had long been
known here that the present revolu-
ton was in preparation but it was
not to be launched for another month.
1t was financed according to the belief
of many on the inside tract, by the
Pearson interests of England, headed
by Baron Cowdray, the most domi-
nant foreign figure in Mexico. De la
Barra was always a close friend of
the baron and has been the syndicate's
political choice for years.
That the announcement of Madero,s
supposed resignation came from the
British legation added color to the
belief that the baron was the power
behind the whole revolutionary move
ment. The Pearson interests were al.
ways allied with former President
Diaz but bitter relations have been
the rule between Madero and the pow
erful British financial operations
At the time Madero entered office
ne announced he would make De la
barra, then the provisional president,
his minister of foreign affairs, but
he changed his mind. 1t was believed
Baron Cowdray called De la Barra off.
