WAR ON ARMENIANS
Eight Hundred Thousand Said to Have
Been Killed or EXiled.

New York, Sept. 30--"Armenia has
been depopulated.
"More than 100000, Armenians al
ready have been killed or driven off
into desert exile by the Turks.
".At least $4,000 Armenians Of mill
tary age have been drafted into the
Turkish army and are being used as
targets for the guns OF the allies.
"The Turkish government is using
the war as an excuse for engineering
diabolical scheme to wipe the Ar
menian race off the face of the earth,
and unless the Christian nations Of
the world step in Immediately the
Turks will succeed"
These statements were made yestcr-
day by Rev. A. Bedikian, pastor of
the Armenian Protestant Church, in
New York, who has secured much
first hand information concerning the
Turkish atrocities from missionaries
from the Armenian district or from
Armenian refugees who have escaped
to the United States.
"When the full story of the Turks
persecution of the Armenians during
the past eight months is told it will
make story without parallel for
cruelty in the history of the world"
said the Rev. Mr.. Bcdiliian.

AN UNANIMOUS VOTE
Roumanians Demand Instant Mobi-
lation-Hurry Preparations for
Early Entry Into War.

Athens, Sept. 30-The Greek Cham
! ber of Deputies today passed without
debate bill declaring a state OF Siege
in Macedonia and also voted S3O,OOO,-
600 for mobilization of the Greek
armies. Another bill authorizing the
government to extend relief to faml!-
les of soldiers in case of war was pass
ed almost unanimously
This action, Premier Fenizelos eX-
planned, was purely a precautionary
measure, made necessary by Buigar-
las mobilization. He said the situa-
ton was grave, but that he hoped the
Balkan atmosphere would clear within
a few days in manner that would
make it possible for Greece to demob-
ilize her troops.
Venizelos was enthusiastically cheer
ed when he appeared at the opening
of the session of the chamber, called
IN account of Bulgaria's mobilization
lccree. The deputies met late yester-
day and continued in session until an
early hour today.
A great demonstration occurred
when former Premier Gounaris, head
of the Opposition and since the begin
ming of the war chief advocate OF
Greek neutrality, supported the Fenl-
zelos program in brief speech.

THE KARLSRUHE AND HER WORN.

THE German cruiser Karlsruhe bids fair to rival the

and an artfu dodger of British Japanese and French
warshps If stories told by British sailors who have
been landed in Savannah. Ga, be true, she has cap
tured and sunk thirteen British and French merchant
ships, made prisoners Of their officers and crews and
forced them to sign pledges that they would not take
up arms against Germany.
Sch information no doubt will lead the allies to
take extraordinary steps to round up and destroy
this menace to their merchant craft AT the same
time they cannot fail to admire the skill and pluck of
ne commander of the Karlsruhe. who is accomplish

II the continued disorder in Mex
leo means the increase of American
obligations to foreign nations-if 1t
means that debts are being piled up

will be a stern reckoning when the

But irrespective of this foreign
complication, the danger TO American

for stopping the carnage In Mexico.

ally given notice that Europe must
not interfere in Mexico-that the

stop the war in Mexico.

UAifed STATES Handicapped In
It's Contest With Great Britain
lFrom Dc Washington Postl

tions which have their roots in the
past, and which carry their conse-
quences far into the future. They
enter upon their duties without pre-
vious training in diplomacy. without
the knowledge that is acquired by
Englishmen trained for such work,
and without the advantage of con-
tinuous foreign policy such as has
been developed in Great Britain.
President Wilson is beset by other
tasks. He has taken it upon himself
to push through legislation of great
domestic importance. He is avow-
edly a candidate for reelection, and
already he is engrossed with politi-
ca, matters which must distract him
from close application to the British
controversy. He cannot turn aside
wholly from the duties which press
upon him in politics, legislation, and
routine administration.
Secretary Bryan is also at a dis
advantage. AS the chief lieutenant
of Mr. Wilson, he must attend TO the
enactment of desired legislation,
consuming much of his time in keep
ing the Democratic majority I'm line
He cannot pretend 10 bring to the
controversy the deep. intimate know
lodge that is possessed by his British
opponents. His training has not been
in the field of diplomacy. nor do his
tastes run in that direction.
The question at issue is so vitality
important, and the need of skill in
handling our case Is so apparent
| that Americans generally would fee
reassurcd if they knew that the ad
ministration had thrown aside all
considerations of personality anC
pGrtisanship and had called TO it'
/ assistance the best intelligence tha
/ the country could command. TIL,
/ best men in the United States >wil
find the British trio worthy of theii
steel in the great controversy that is

of the first rank-men like Elihl
Root. William II. Taft. Richard Ol
ney. Philander c. Knox. George Ora,
and others who could be named.
1t is not a domestic question tha
ccnfronts the administrations

The Selection of Mediocrify
lFrom ColIier's Weeklyl.

Two United States Senators will
leave Office next fourth of March.
Both are leaving for one reason; they
believed they could not hope for re-
election under the new system of
choosing Senators by popular vote
instead of through the Legislature.
The two are Senator Elihu Root Of
New York and Senator Theodore
Burton of Ohio. We think they were
both mistaken in their apprehension.
They both had to make their decision
nearly a year ago. AT that time the
conservative shade of politics which
they represent was more unpopular
than il is today
OF course il is too late 10 recon-
slider now. and perhaps Senator
Roots age is such that his retirement
from public life is permanent. Sen
ator Burton is still young enough to
