GERMANY AND THE TURK.

II has been stated number of
times lately that a single word from
the German war office would have
stopped the ruthless campaign" of
determination among the Armenians
by the Turks. The stories which come
was done by the Turks shocked the
civilized world. Nothing like it has
been heard Of since the Middle Ages.
Thousands upon thousands of Arme
mans were put to death in the most
brutal manner. The Germans were
rct only putting up the money for the
campaign, but German officers were
often In command of the Turkish
troops who would commit the out
RACES
II remains now for German writ
or, Frederick F. Schrader, to defend
the Turks in timely article in The
Fatherland. He says the Turkish
bugaboo Is kept Give to serve the
political ends of selfish politicians and
religious zealots." He then goes on
to say that the Armenians tried to
betray Turkey and let the Russians
| into the land. A number of extracts
from articles are used TO show that
Turkey was acting in self-defense in
whatever steps she took against Ar
menia.
The Fatherland, of course lays the
| blame for the massacres to England,
France, and Russia, who have had the
Turks moving rapidly since they cast
their fortunes with their comrades of
the central empire. The Fatherland
thinks the Turk is more OF a gentle
man than the average Englishman.
That may be due to the fact that
there is an affinity between the Turks
and Germans that makes them see
things in the same light.
We have no doubt in the world that
the Turks believe it an act of Godli
ness to blow up ship load Of Chris
tians on the high seas. From the
viewpoint of the Turks. Christians
are cumberers of the earth and ought
to be cut down. They will ap1roTo
