GREAT MASSACRE

IRISH LEADER O'CONNOR SAYS
BERLIN ALLOWED TURKS

situation here this afternoon told of
Germanys responsibility for the slaugh.
ter Of thousands in Armenia.
Il am content" he said ITO have the
merits and the aims Of the two sets OF
belligerents tested by this case. For it
is one Of the most lamentabe facts in
this whole tragic history that the Ger.

In these massacres-I say rulers de.
liberately for we have many Germans
earnestly interested in the fate of Ar.
menians-I have met one Of them at
various Armenian conferences - Dr
Leipsius.
There was a consul in nearly every
single one OF the great Armenian settle,
ments where the massacres took place
THE wires were open, as we knew
between the Armenian settlements and
Constantinople
IF the wires were open between Ar
menia and Constantinople. they were
open between Armenia and Berlin
For a generation, the voice Of Ber
lin has been omnipotent in Constants
nople. At the very moment the troops
Of Germany and Turkey were fighting
side by side. IL Is not clear. therefore
that Berlin had only TO say word and
the massacres would not have begun
and even II they had begun would not
word have brought them to an i'm
mediate end?
Germany Guilty.
For these reasons, | feel entitled "a
say that the guilt OF these hideous mas

as well as the Turkish authorities. II
