Of urkey Again,
Dispatch Indicates
Constantinople Reports the

Near Erzingan

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Armanian bands
which have been operating west of Erzi-
gan and along the roads from Erzigan
to Ardassa and the coast village of
Goerele have been scattered by the
turks, says Reuter- telegram from
Constantlnople by way of Vienna.
Inc dispatch makes this significant
statement:
The resistance of armed bands has
been broken in villages west of Err
zingan and in Erzingan itself, as we'll
as north of that city,
This indicates Turkish forces of
considerable size operating again in
Armenia.
The return of the Turks to Armenia
since the withdrawal Of the Russian
Caucasian armies, may be expected to
plunge Armenia into new chapter of
atrocities and massacres. That the
Turkish action in this direction will be
met with no opposition from Germany
may be gathered from the fact that
the German newspapers recently print
ed several official Turkish communica-
uons bearing close family resem-
blonce to the Turkish pronouncements
which preceded the earlier Armenian
masSacreS.
A communication published last week
says:
"Armed bands of Armenian guerillas
are beginning to prosecute the Otto
man lnhabitants of Armenia, and ap-
peals to the Russian military are un-
availing. The facts bearing on this
are confirmed by testimony of natives
who have escaped from the claws of
tn Armenians. Moreover, deputations
have been sent to the Turkish govern
ment with requests for help by the
populations of various districts, who
are defenceiess against Armenian per
secutions and are continually exposed
to its terrors."
The statement concludes with a list
OF significant atrocities" alleged to
have been perpetrated by Armenians.
