Turkish Empire musC be not far
off. What u happy, what glo-
rious conclusion of an inglorious
history that will be!
We anticipate, notwithstand-
ing Germany's magnificent at.
tack and defense, that the Al
lies will wear her out and .he
two empires she has led. But,
whatever the result of this war,
Turkey as an independent power
will be wiped off the map L,
Germany Wins Turkey will be
under her sphere of influence,
independent only in name; il
the Allies win the Tukrish EN-.
pire will be blown to the -four
winds of heaven, and this is
what we d, voutly hope for and
believe.
The Turkish rule for the past
five centuries has insulted heav-
Ell. It. has been a rule of cruel
~, murder and lust, and the
present attempt to exterm;nate
it's Christian sui jects has simp!}
flied up the measure of it's
wrath. OF the facts there can
be no doubt, from many source
of Information, from American
citizens escaping the massacre>, ,
and now fully confirmed by Am
bassador Morgenthau. The Turk
ish rulers made a suicidal blum
der when they put themselves
under the orders of Berlin, and
they must suffer the consequence
es.
Beyond the present horrors we
lotk forward to the happier DAYS
when Moslem rule shall be end
ed. The Turkish Empire covers
the choicest region historically
of all the earth's surface. 1t
yields not even to Greece. There
human history begins. There
ruled BabylonIa, then Assyria,
then Persia, then the Macedon-
ian Empire, then that of Rome,
till Constantine established his
capital on the Hellespont and
ruled the world from the city
that bears his name. Within
what is now the Turkish Empire
the three great historical religl-
ons. the Hebrew, the Christian
and the Mphammeda dan, had their
origion.
The revolution will be a re-
naissance by which these anci-
ent lands, so long opprest, come
under the rule of civilization,
for Turkey has never risen out
of barbarism. An American
traveller, riding from sunrise to
sunset III the incredibly fertile
valley of the lower Euphrates,

and when the people could not

their irrigating cannals. The
people died of starvation or fled
