It's Reign Of Blood
With Bulgaria's Entrance Into
War. Sublime Porte Renews
Massac,c of Armenions.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., October ia
armenian massacres In Asiatic Turkey

BuIgarias entrance into the war as

the majority Of the Armcnians In Asia
tic Turkey had been killed.
Although this government some time
ago warned Turkey that further atroci-
ties against the Armcnians would alien
ate th, sympathies of the American
people. no answer has been received
Earlier representations were met with
the promise that those Armenians who
wished TO leave the country would be
permitted TO do so unharmed, and that
protestant Armenians would be spared
Information recently reaching this
country. however, indicates that these
conditions have not been strictly ad-
hercd TO. From one quarter II was as
serted that they were rescinded the
,.cAt day"
.-lthough 100000 from private sub
scr:ption has been placed at Amhassa-
dor Morgenthau's disposal for distribu-
ton among the Armenian refugees. no
arrangements have been made for
bringing Armenians to this country, Az
was originally planned. Those Ar
rnenians who were spared are gathered
in th" country between the Tigris and
Euph' aics Rivers
