Three Reasons for
Peace With Turkey

1t was these three men more than
any others who convinced President
Wilson that formal war with Turkey
would be disastrous for three main
reasons: First, and negatively, that
it would not exercise any military in
huence, since it is out of the question
that an American army should be land
ed on Turkish soil now when the West
front is crying for men; second, and
very positively, that a declaration Of
war would instantly stop the relief
work among the Armenians and Syr-
ians, which has been more extensive
and practically helpful than most
Americans imagine, and would definite
ly turn these peoples over to the ulti-
mate cruelties Of the terrible Turk;
and third. If war were declared, Turkey
(Which Of course means Germany
would step in and confiscate American
missionary properties amounting to
some s2o,ooo,ooo In value. These prop
critics would Of course be returned
after a victorious peace. but the con-
tinuity Of the American work would
have been fatally interrupted. Ameri-
cans would be obliged to start again at
the bottom to build up the influence
which has made possible such = benef-
cent service.
In short, said Mr.. Dodge, DR.. Barton
and Mr.. Elkus, q war with Turkey
would be paper war. But the thou
sands of Armenian orphans dead for
lack of American aid would be ter
ribly real.
Many Americans, perhaps, do not
know in detail how universal and
urgent is the distress which American
charity is called upon to relieve. The
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief gives out the following figures:
At least 100000 Armenians and
Syrians in Turkey have perished dur
ing the past two years from massacre,
deportation, exposure, starvation and
disease.
Over 100000 are now homeless and
in dire distress; 100000 of those in
need are orphans.
Little children scarcely able to feed
themselves live absolutely alone in
deserted homes
From the Political
Point of View
Sufferers in the Lebanon district
recently were dying at the rate Of 1000
day.
Half million refugees have fed the
Turkish dominions and in their tenn
porary homes cry for help.
1t might seem that charity could no
more than nick the surface of such
misery. And it is true that America
has not been able to approach in the
Turkish Empire the relatively com
prehensive relief work of Belgium.
Still, it is wholesale and not merely
detailed job which the missionaries
have been performing in the East.
Widows and orphans have been saved
from death by exposure, not by the
scores but by the thousands. And
what is highly important from the po-
litical point of view-among the op-
pressed races of the Turkish Empire
the name Of America has come to mean
just what it meant in Belgium-unself-
ish benefcence. In the reconstruction
after the war the decision of America
will have weight among the peoples
concerned beyond that of any other
nation if
Here is an "if" on which Mr.. Dodge.
DR.. Barton and Mr.. Elkus seem to
have laid great stress in their rep
reservations to the President: If the !
continuity Of the relief work is not
interrupted.

r. OR many decades the ''unspeak- n

~~--~~~
able Turk" has been held ND to
the world as the greatest blot
on civilization, Christian leaders and
organizations have again and again
demanded that this country war upon
him and have denounced the Christian
powers for letting him live. Since the
war began he has added horribly to
his crimes. To-day We are at war with
his allies, and his forces in the field
tell against US as heavily as il he
faced US s:rees No Mans Land. Yet
we are not at war with him, Why7
Largely because very Christian
leaders who so long denounced the
Turk now oppose attacking him, and
President Wilson has listened to their
advice. In spite of the massacres of
Armenians. in spite of tho long series
Of outrages, In spite, finally, of the at
tacks on American hospitals, missions
and workers, they still declare that war
with Turkey will do no good and much
harm. They argue that VIC could not
hurt the Turk, since all our strength
must be used on the West front, and
that he would reply to our fighting
words by the massacre Of another mill
ION Christians and by tho confscation
Of properties which represent an in
vestment Of twenty-five million Amer
ican dollars.
And that is why the Rev. DR.. James
L. Barton and the Rev. DR.. W. w. Peet.
representing the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions,
have FASTENED to Washington.
The news of the latest Turkish out
rage--the attack by Turkish troops on
the American consulate at Tabriz.
Persia, and the looting of an American
missionary hospital in that city
brought about conference in this city
Of the leading directors of American
activities in the Turkish Empire for a
discussion of the situation and resulted
in the sending of the two representa-
tives to the White House and the State
Department
To Urge the
Policy Of Patience
Ut will be the mission of these men
to urge continuance of the policy of
patience" said the spokesman for the
confreres, because in our opinion
declaration Of war now would be the
worst thing that could happen to this
country
Or. Barton is eminently qualified to
set forth the attitude of the American
board and DR.. Peet, with an experience
OF more than a quarter of a century in
Constantnople, is the best informed
man in this country on the Turkish
ohclal mental attitude toward the
United States. While we all admit the
alarming nature Of the report of this
latest outrage we do not believe it was
committed with Ahe approval. or the
knowledge even, OF the Turkish govern
ment, but was the work Of a small de-
tachment of Turkish troops Joined and
urged on by Tartars and Kurds from
the north.
Here is what we have all along
said to President Wilson and here is
what We say to him now:
DO not consider the interests Of
'ne American organizations in the Turk |
ish Empire If you think that anything
can be gained for this country by a J
declaration Of war against Turkey. We
DO not condone the outrages, but we are
concerned lest step be taken which

refuse to be stampeded, even by ex-
President Roosevelt. As the situation
stands to-day we are holding a whip
and threat over Turkey. We say the
whip will descend with declaration-of-
war lash If Turkey does not behave we'll
toward us and that there will be eco
nomic punishment after the war.
I'VE have reason to believe the Tur-
kish government does not want war. It
would be foolish for this country to de-
clare war on Turkey and not be able to
go through with it most effectively.
Such course would do us more harm
than good. but would be state Of

In Line With
Wilson's 8 Policy

And that is the message that DR..
Barton and DR.. Peet have taken to
Washington from the New York con-
ference.
These views are supported by Presi-
dent Wilson's so-callcd unofficial board
OF advisers on Turkish questions, at
least by two or them. Who are the
men who have helped to shape his de-
cision not to declare war on Turkey 7
Three men, chiefly: First, Ambas-
sador Elkus, who on his return from
Turkey after the breaking of Of formal
relations was obviously one man to
consult. Next there was a clergyman
in Boston, relatively little known out
side his own circle Of activities-the
Rev. DR.. James L. Barton, secre-
tary of the American Board of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions. And
third, and perhaps most influential Of
all, New York business man whom
few have suspected of any intimate
knowledge Of near-Eastern condi-
tions. This man is Cleveland H. Dodge,
of the Phelps-Dodge Mining Company,
close friend of the President.

MAYOR HAS RECORD FOR
ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS

Mayor Mulberger has a record for
attendance at city council meetings.
During the two years of his incum-
bency of the office he has missed but
one meeting and then there was no
business transacted, the council ad-
journing after being called to order.
In fact he has attended every meeting
of the city council when business was
transacted, and we believe the record
stands Incompatible in this city.
