His neighbor, King Constantine, O:
Greece, was given his discharge jane

Kaiser, who has strong family praJ-
udice in favor of kings keeping their
Jobs, has promised to restore him TO
the throne of Greece.
Since China event republican, we
have had, within the last month, a
snectarle of the Manchu emperor
"noppinr out of box and popping
in again" The status of the boy en-
peror is the amusing one OF an en-
peror theoretically from foreign
country on a. visit to China with an
allowance of a few odd millions on
condition that he remain tame king
IN the political back yard.
The last king to be dismissed from
American soil was Dom Pedro. oil
Brazil, deposed in 1899. but so pleas

friends pelted him with flowers.
Kings are being jostled aside be
cause they on longer fit the modern

pire.
Forced to leave Tarsus in 1913
with the civil population when the
Turks issued the deportation order
AGAINST the Armenians, DR.. Christie.
"a. veteran of the civil war, de-
clared that while the Kaiser before
the war had as much power in Tur-
kew as he did in Berlin, the Turks
were tired of their bargain with the
German ruler and would welcome
l.eace.
"You Christians call us cruel
said Turkish staff officer told HI"
adding: perhaps we are. but we
are far less cruel than the Germans
teach their own officers and men to
be in time Of war We stand amazed
at the cruelty, ruthlessness and mer-
cilessness being taught US as war
measures by the Germans. They
tell us that in time of war we must
recognize no such thing as mercy, re
%ardless OF circumstances or comb.
tons, and that the greater the cruel
ty. brutality and ruthiessness Vs."
display the quicker will victory perch

~ know whereof | speak con-
tifhel DR.. Christie. "rhe Armenian
massacres were encouraged by the
Germans, who not only approved o
rhe*:steps taken by the Turks in this
regard. but even went so far as to
nl2n some Of the atrocities"
