Turkey.

When the peace conference comes to
the question Of Turkeys future fig
ures will no doubt be available regard
ing the cruelties of the Ottoman en-
pire and will have direct bearing
upon the decision reached. Exact sta
tistics of the massacres and other
denominations Of the Turks will per-
haps never be collated, for the reason
that the fiehdishness of the Turks was
practiced in remote regions and in cir
eumstances to prevent fuH reporting.
But there is no lack of proof Of the
wholesale slaughter and barbarities in
stigated, br at least permitted by the
government at Constantinople. That
Germany had hand in these afro
cities, even before the war, is in no
wise an excuse for the Turks. Ger
man agents at Constantinople had
only to intimate that the authorities
at Berlin would interpose no objection
to the inflietion Of characteristic Turk
ish disciplinary" measures upon the
Armenians and other subject peoples
of Christian faith. That fact is one
of the counts between the allies and
Germany, apart from the direct Turk
ish responsibility for the slaughters
and deportations.
1t is now estimated that in the spring
of 1914 the Turks deported 100000
Greeks, of whom 100000 are now refu-
gees in Greece. From the beginning
of war to the end of 1917 the monsters
Of Constantinople deported 2,140,000
Greeks and Armenians, of whom 900,-
600 Armenians and 100000 Greeks have
been massacred and 100000 mobilized
Greeks have been put to death. or have
died Of their sufferings. Greek prop
erty to the value of about $500, ,0o0, 900
has been taken by the Turks.
This is the barest outline Of story
of hideousness that has rarely been
approached in all the history Of in
humanity. No possible condonement
can be granted. The crime Of the
Turkish government is the more aborni-
nable for the pretenses of necessity
and helplessness with which it was ac-
companied. If there is one para
mount demand by the civilized peo-
pie of the world upon the peace COM
missioners at Paris it is that adequate
punishment should be meted out to
those guilty Of this horror and that
the Turkish government, if it remain at
all in being, be forever put in po-
sition where it cannot practice such
atrocities upon helpless subject peo-
Piles of different religious faith.
