Carson Declares
America Greatest
Neutral Country

LONDON. Nov. 27.-Three hun
dred Americans and their guests
Friday at the American club lunch
con listened to a speech by Sir Ed
ward Carson on the duties of neu-
trails.
The speaker was introduced by
Henry Thornton. the American gen
eral manager of the Great Eastern
railway. who paid the former at
torney general some sterling compli-
ments. SIR Edward Carson said:
America is the greatest neutral
nation at the present moment. Amer
lea is the greatest neutral in its
obligations to civilization and hu-
manity-greater perhaps. and with
better opportunities for their full
filment, than exist with any Of the
other neutrals.
when / mention America as our
greatest neutral l naturally turn TO
the conduct of neutrals in relation
to the mitigation of the horrors of
war. and nothing fills me with dis
may when I think of the outcome
of the horrible period through which
we are passing more than the fact
that international law, the product
of all the peace instincts of all the
nations. has, 1 fear, been entirely
abolished. or at any rate greatly en-
croached upon by the impotence of
the neutrals themselves.
"In times of peace we hold great
conventions in order to mitigate the
horrors of war. but when we get
into the horrors of war, above all.
neutral countries ought to remem-
Der that it is only neutral countries
who are behind these peace-time
conventions of humanity.
Abolish the power of neutrals
when countries are at war and YOU
have abolished international law it
self. This war from the start has
shown the inaptitude and powerless
ness of neutrals. 1t commenced with
the sacrifice of a little country which
had been guaranteed it's freedom
and its peace by all the great powers
OF Europe. and the war had not
been on for more than a few hours
when you saw the futility Of those
guarantees.
The necessity for maintaining.
sustaining and supporting interna-
tional law and international juris-
prudence becomes more vital and
is more forcibly brought home to us
when we remember that a breach of
international law necessarily, i'm the
rules OF war, means reprisals. and
reprisal knows no limit"

BRITISH REPORT
MORE ATROCITIES
ArmenianS Said to Have Been
Burned and Women Raw
lShed by Turkish Troops.

LONDON. Nov. 27.-LOrd Bryce
made public Friday night fresh re-
ports of Armenian atrocities, which
''surpass in horror. if that were pos
sible, what has been published al
ready"
The evidence comes from an Ar
menian gentleman at Tifiis. who re-
ceived it from refugees from the re-
gions where the events described
happened.
The suferings of peasants and
mountaineers in the regions of Van,
Muss and Sasun seem TO have been
more terrible than those of the
townsfolk."
Many Of these atrocities, Lord
Bryce points out, are vouched for
by several coincident testimonies.
Following are extracts from Lord
Bryce's charges:
in May, Djevdet Bey the mill
tary governor, expelled from Van,
fled southwark. and entered Sairt
with 5000 soldiers, whom he called
his butcher battalions.' He mass
acred most of the Christians of
Sairt.
Bishops Are Burned.
"On the best authority it is re-
ported that he ordered his soldiers
TO burn in the public square the
armenian bishop. Eghishe Vartabed
Chaldcon. and Bishop Addaisher.
ION June %, the Turks surround
ed Bitlis. cut communications with
the neighboring Armenian villages
and took away most OF the able
bodied men by domiciliary visits.
During the following days all
the men who had been put under
arrest were shot outside the town
and buried in deep trenches dug by
themselves. The young women and
children were distributed among the
rabble. The remainder were driven
south and are believed TO have been
drowned in the Tigris.
An attempt at resistance was
cueIled by the regular troops. Many
Armenians after firing their last
cartridge either took poison by
whole families or killed themselves
in their homes in order not to fall
into the ndnuS OF the VI Ms
Revolving TOrtures.
"Thus the Turks disposed of about
5000 Armenians in Bitlis.
"At Muss early in July the Turk
ish authorities demanded their arms
from the Armenians and a large
ransom.
THE leading men of the town and
the headmen of the villages were
subjected to revolving tortures. Their
finger nails and toe nails were for
ciblv extracted: their teeth knocked
out and their noses whitfield down.
THE victims having been done
to death under lingering agonles'
female relatives who came to the
rescue were outraged before the
eyes of the mutilated men while the
shrieks and death cries of the vic
tins filled the air

Brddstreet,s Report

NEW YORK. Nov. Eft Brad
streets review OF trade for the week
Saturday says.
Nearly every prospect seems to
please and year that started un-
der a cloud Of uncertainty or de-
preston is ending with productive
energies moving at high speed.
This weeks reports, rejecting as
they do cumulative growth in trade
and industry, display a marked de-
gree of snap. the situation in gem
eral being the best noted for a long
time past.
"Misgivings as 10 the immediate
future are negligible in the leading
industries operations are being
pushed TO the utmost, labor is
scarcer. payrolls are heavier and a
spell of cold weather. plus the in
creased spending power of the
masses, has wrought marked i'm
prOvement in retail trade, progress
in which also is helped along by

Dealers Do We'll.

Things 20 eat and to wear are

kinds of textiles are in short sup

new foreign markets in which to
sell the products of peace times, but
in passing it is to be noted that
while war needs started things NOV
ing out of the rut of depression.
foreign demand no longer over
shadows domestic requirements al
though it is to be conceded that
our own consumers have come into
the market at time when any
thing but bargain prices prevail In
this connection it is significant that
a leading railway has withdrawn an
order for cars because of high
prices.
Wheat Is Helped.
winter wheat has been helped by
rain as by good weather and esti-
mates of decreased area are being
whitfield down. Freer marketing or
grain and low rates for money have
aided collections. but many grain
growers are disposed to hold their
wheat. Car congestion. especially at
tidewater points, is increasing, the
shortage of vessel space for exports
aggravating the situation. Lumber
continues to reflect improvement, eX-

PEACE ADVOCATES

Urge Him to Start Move to

WASHINGTON. Nov. - - Three
women. representing Great Britain.
Austro- Hungary and the United
States, late Friday afternoon appeal
ed to Pres't Wilson to call a con-
ference of neutral nations to dis
cuss plans for bringing the Euro
pean war 10 an end. The president
listened attentively while they made
their Arguments, but gave no indica-
ton of what action he would take.
The women were Mrs Philip Snow
den. wife Of labor leader in the
British parliament; Nine. Rosika
Schwimmer of Austro-Hungary, and
Mrs. Louis Post, wife of the assist
ant secretary of state
a monster meeting was held at
the Belasco theater just before the
women called upon the president.
Resolutions calling upon the presi-
dent to take the initial step 10 bring
about "A conference of neutral ma
tions were adopted at the meeting
and later presented to the presi-
dent.
Henry Ford Present.
Henry Ford. the millionaire De-

been expected.

she gathered the impression from
the trend of the questions the pres
ldent asked during the interview.
that he would consider the appeal.
No statement was given out at the
white house after the women left.
The president was told by the
peace advocates that in their opin-
ion the psychological moment for
a peace movement has arrived.
Mrs. Snowden stated that there is
a growing impotence in England
over the length of the war and read
extracts from letters Of English
friends to prove her contentious.
Arguments Are Made.
The following points were made
by Madame Schwimmer;
That the neutral conference
should suggest that instead of war
indemnities the belligerents in the
reace settlement should mutually
agree to stop maintaining great
armies.
That single mediation would not
be as effective as the concerted &C
ton of all neutrals toward peace
That the human suffering caused
by the war in the countries of Eu-
rope is so frightful and unparalleled
that the mind falters in attempting
TO describe it.
That if the war continues much
longer its close will inevitably be
followed by revolutions in all the
countries concerned.
That the idea of creating great
powers must be killed and that ALI
ances and ententes must become
things of the past.
Psychological Moment.
That this is the psychological mo-
ment to lead the world from arms
because this war has taught that
issues cannot be settled by force Of
arms.
At the mass meeting Mr.. Ford
made his maiden public speech.
