YOUNG TURKS DIRECT
TORTURE AND OUTRAGE

Commission.

New York Oct. 3.-After months
of investigation and the massing of
evidence from sources whose veracity
and authority are not to be question
ed. the committee on Armenian afro
cities finds that the crimes now being

pie by directors OF the Young Turk

tion. murder. deportation and the
most shocking crimes against women
all coldly directed by the central
government at ConStanttnople In the
course Of its policy to destroy the
Armenian race and abolish the Chris
tan religion from Turkish soil. Many
portions of the report are absolutely
upr!ntable.
Trouble for the Armenians began
as for all other nationalities, with the
collection of soldiers. The special
Armenian troubles began In May In
the middle OF the night of the 20th
