COUNT DEFENDS TURKS
Brrnst0rT Says Reports OF Armenian
Atrocities Have Been Greatly
Exaggerated.

WASHINGTON, September cs.-Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambassa-
dor to-day sent communication to
the state Department saying reports
Of Turkish atrocities against Armenians
were greatly exaggerated and defend
ing in part the action OF the Turks as
having been provoked
While the ambassadors letter does
not deny that extreme penalties have
been imposed on -\rincnians by the
Turks, i; is stated that attempts to
stir up rebellion and revolt and trea-
sonablc activity has made the ar
mcnian policy" :! necessary wartime
measure.
since Turkey has let it be known
that no foreign interference with her
Armenian policy will be permitted, the
United States will probably avoid the
matter as subject for any formal pro-
test. unless Americans become involved

That Governor Stuart is giving the
