HALT WASSACRES,
PLEA TO WILSON
Speakers at Mass Meeting
Demand Intervention 10
Save ArmenianS.

Further details Of the massacres in
Turkey were given at a mass meeting
organized by the American Committee
on Armenian Atrocities in the Century
Theatre yesterday afternoon. ".
Bourke Cochran, Rabbi Stephen ).
Wise and DR.. James l.. Barton, ex-
president of Euphrates College, in
harpoot, Turkey, were among the
speakers.
Dr. Barton, who was the first
speaker. read extracts from statements
which he described as official, but said
that If the names Of the authors be-
came known retaliation would be like
ly to follow upon their relatives and
friends i'm TURKEY. The systematic and
thoroughly organized attempt TO de-
stroy the Armenlans was begun about
the end OF June, the favorite method
being 10 drive them from the towns
and villages and have bands or hurds
waiting on the road.
One group, who were forty-hve days
on the way, arrived at their destina-
ton in a starving condition, all the
younger women having been taken by
the Kurds. In the city OF Van, in
Northeastern Turkey. the Armenlans
defended themselves in their own quar-
ter for twenty-eight days. The siege
was lifted by the approach OF the Rus
sian army. al which the whole Turkish
population abandoned the town. In the
neighborhood of Van robbers were let
out of Jail 10 assist in the masseeres,
and one man boosted of having killed
fifty Armenians in one night.
81 do not believe we are under the
necessity of going 70 war with any ma
ton Oh EARTH" said Rabbi Wise. we
simply ask Of every nation to-day not
TO make war more damnable than II al
ready is. There are certain victories
Which are infinitely more disastrous
than any defeat The responsibility Tor
every misdeed committed in Turkey Is
attributable in part to the central en-
pires."
Mr.. Cochran said the President was
the only man who could represent me
policies Of this country, and that the
people ought TO support the President
In every question involving foreign ar
fairs. He added:
There is one kind Of outrage which
terminates all questions of race, coun-
try and cline. We ask that the Presi-
dent of the United States protest
against these massacres, and intimate
that if protest is not sufficient there
must be recourse 10 prohibition. Ii
may be said that we cant stop them.
We can try"
As the vote on the resolution con-
demning the massacres was being
taken Rabbi f. b. NJ. Brown. who gave
MS address as the Hotel Wellington,
stood up in the audience and attempted
10 speak lie was Kissed down and the
ushers put him out, though the Rev.

tried 20 give him a chance TO be heard.
