RURNED ALIVE By TURKS
Horrible Methods Empinycd III Extcr-
minaiing Village Of 1000 Homes

Mvticnc, Sept. ln-lIorriblc details
are reaching here rs to the methods
employed by the Turks in their policy
Of discriminating Armcnians.
One large village Of 1000 homes.
inhabited exclusively by ArmcnlanS.
was recently cXtcrminatcd with Gra-
holical cruelty. The gcndarmcS first
sent an order to the inhabitants To
evacuate the village. The Villagers
took no notice Of the order. Then 200
soldiers appeared with orders to en-
force obedience. The Armcnians rr-
sisted, and in the ensuing fight the
Turkish soldiers were worStcd and
forced to flee. y
Ratallions Of troops then establish
ed a Gordon around the village. Ma
chine guns we set in place and i'll
ccndiarics sent into the village with
! lighted torches. Buildings were fired
! in every direction: and soon the whole
village was in flames. The miserable
! ArmeuianS, mem, women and chlldrel!
were almost all burned alive. Those
who tried to escape were shot.
Only four escaped, one Of whom re-
! lated the story.
In other instances the Turks are
separating the men from the women
and children, and the ablc-bodied men
are drafted into the Turkish army;
while the young women are sold tc
! harcms. The old men, the old wome,
and the children are turned loose IL

CARRANzA'S
REPLY TO PLAN
- .@a
Expected to be Delivered to
Lansing Today or
Tomorrow :5H
TO CONSIDER APPEAL
Mexican Leader viii Seek JuStfti.
cation on Ground That Villa and
Followers Are Rebels.

Washington, Sept. 10 - GeneraI
Carranza's reply to the Pan-Amerl-
can mediation proposal is expected to
be delivered to Secretary OF Slate
Lansing sometime today or tomorrow.
Immediately after it is received, it
is understood, Mr.. Lansing will sum-
mon another conference of the Latin
American diplomats who joined with
him in signing the gether"
appeal.
The conference is expected TO be
held before next Wednesday when
Ambassador Moan, the representative
here of Argentina, will sail for Buen-
os Ayres on leave of absence. 1t is
generally believed that this next
meeting will finally determine wheth-
e.: or not CarranZa is to be ignored.
Carranza's reply will be q rejection
of the mediation proposal. AS here
.ofore indicated, he will seek to justi-
~ his stand on the ground that he
represents the only organized govern
mcnt in Mexico; and that Villa and
his followers are merely rebels.
In this connection it. can be stated
General Carranza will assume that
President Lincoln would have adopted
exactly the same stand had Great
Britain or any other power during tho
American civil war demanded that he
should treat with the confederates OH
an equal footing.
Continued military successes for
the first chief have placed him in
strong position and one which must be
considered by this Government and
the other outside powers in any de-
cision to ignore him.
Reports from Vera Cruz tell of ef-
forts on the part Of CarranZa's cab
met officials TO charge Secretary Lam
sing with having been in the employ
Of General llucrta. and. therefore,
with having a bond Of sympathy with
the old cicntifico group.
When this charge was brought to
;hc attention of Secretary Lansing ne
frankly admitted having acted rs
counsel for the Mexican embassy dur
ing the Huerta regime, but explained
that. ut that time, he had no con-
neclion whatever with the State De-
partment.

SAFEGUARDING THE LAPLAND
Three Torpedo Boat Destroyers Sent
From Brooklyn Navy Yard TO
Convoy Liner.

New York, Sept. i0-Three torpe.
do boat destroyers were sent last
night from the Brooklyn Navy Yard
| to convoy the White Star liner Lap
land into New York. The hurried de-
| parture of the destroyers followed the
circulation of report that Il plot
had been discovered to blow up the
I.apland off this pert.
The Lapland has on board Il num-
ber of distinguished French and Brit
ish bankers who expect to arrange IL
loan Of possibly $5OO,0OO,OO0 to aid
the cause of the allies. News of the
alleged plot came to th. government
officials from apparently reliable
sources.
German submarines. it was reported
last night have pursued the Lapland
partly across the Atlantic.
As soon as it became positively
known that the allied financiers had
embarked aboard the liner instructions
are said to have been given to sink
her at all costs. That the Lapland
was not sunk on her voyage across.
the Irish Channel was due, it is said
to the unusual precautions taken.
Until the ship had been at sea some
hours it was not definitely known that
The commissioners had decided to
make their jurncy aboard her instead
of aboard a British man-Of-war as at
first stated.
One American destroyer waited for
he LapIand outside Sandy Hook and
mother was stationed inside Of Sandy
tIool: while the other craft was sta
'ioncd in New York Bay.
The German plan. as reported. was
% string mines across the path Of tuc
incoming liner, either inside or out
side of New York Harbor. IF this
failed 4 last desperate attempt tC
sink the liner was to be made by
running her down.
The British admiralty, it was re-
pcrtcd last night, conveyed the lap
land across the ocean with three tor
Dcdo boats. These boats make thirty
six miles an hour. At no time were
hey within sight of the Lapland. but
always remained just beyond the no
rizon: within wireless call.
Other British craft were scattered
across the steamship lane. The Ryn.
dam met two dcsiroycrs or the Grand
Banks.

HUNGARIAN Government that Dr.. Con
,+ont;n DumDa no longer is accepta'
hle rs an envoy to the United STATES
and to ask for his recall.
twas the answer of the American
Government to Dr.. Dumba's expiana-
tion Of his intercepted letter to wen
-. outlining plans for handicapplns
nlans in this country making war sup
plies for the Allies.
Ambassador Penfeld was instructed
bv cable yesterday to deliver the 1o'
loving note to the Foreign Office:
NMr. Constantin Dumba, the Aus
tro- Hungary Ambassador at WASH,
;npton; has admitted that he proposed
70 his Government plans to nstigate
strikes in American manufacturing
plants engaged in the production d
munitions of war. The information
reached this Government through a
copv of a letter of the Ambassador
4o his Government. The bearer was
an American citizen named ArcHI-
bald. who was travelling under al
American passport. The Ambassador
has admitted that he employed Archl-
bald to bear official dispatches rom
him to his Government.
"By reason of the admitted purpose
and intent of Mr.. Dumba, to conspre
70 cripple legitimate industries OF the
neople of the United States and TO
interrupt their legitimate trade ana
bv reason of the fragrant violation OF
diplomatic propriety in employing an
American citizen protected by an Am
erican passport as a secret bearer d
official dispatches through the lines OF
tho enemy of Austria -Hungarary, the
President directs me to inform your
Excellency that Mr.. Dumba is no
longer acceptable to the Government
of the United States as the Amhassa-
dor of his Imperial Majesty at Wash
ington.
nBelieving that the Imperial and
Reyal Government will realize that
the Government of the United States
has no alternative but to request the
recall of Mr.. Dumb on account OF
his improper conduct. the Government
of the United States expresses its
deep regret that this course has be-
come necessary and assures the I'M
perial and Royal Government that it
sincerely desires to cortinue:the cordi-
al and friendly relations which exist
between the United. States and Aus
tria-Hungary."
The belief is strong that this Gov,
ernment will take a similar step II
the case Of Captain Won Papen, the
German military attache in this coun
trv. The letter written by DR.. Dumh'
to his Government, which was fount
among the effects of James, f. j.

terested in the scheme to cause strik
