Take Part in Next Action of
Allies in France.

Washington, May 22.-When reports
that America S first field army, 200, ,00O
strong, has been organized in France were
printed here yesterday, Secretary Baker
said he had received no dispatches from
Gen. Pershing confirming them Put
when he WAS in France, he said. Major
Gen. Hunter Liggctt was engaged in
organizing the first complete American
Army corps and at that time had with
him only few officers Ii Is known the
question of organizing corps and field
armies is being carefully stC>led by Gen.
Pershing and hiSstaff.
II is considered that Gen Liggett will
command the first field army when il Is
organized and ready for factivc service.
This Is based in part upon the fact that
be was designated 10 organize the first
corps, which would make him the first
or senior corps comma nder
That Gen Mcnoher. commander OF
the Rainbow Division, Will command
one of the corps of the first field army Is
considered probable. He was chosen by
Gen. Pcrshing to succeed William A.

ASK GERMANY TO
STOP FLOOD OF
ARMENIA BLOOD
Turks Kill All Christians De-
spite Pledges in Peace
Treaty.

LONDON, April 15.-Russia has fol
lowed the protest to Germany aga1ns'
the Turkish operations in the Cauca
sus, which have resulted In wholesale
murders Of the Armenian population
by forwarding a similar protest by the
Armenian national council, addressed
to the German ministry OF foreign al
fairs and the president of Reichstag
This protest, received from the Rus
sian wireless system and given out by
The British admiralty through the
wireless press, reads:
THE Armenian national council, as
the supreme body for the expression OF
the will OF the Armenian people, is ad-
dressing you in connection with the
tragic state Of things in Armenia. Ar
menia is flooded with blood and anly
recently saved from centuries of slav-
cry. is again condemned to fresh SUI
ferings. Following upon the with
drawal Of the Russian troops, Turkish
troops already have invaded the unde-
Tended country and are not only kill
ing every Turkish-Armenian, but also
every Russian in Aramenia.
Killing All Christians.
I'm spite of the terms OF the peace
treaty, Wn1Cn recognizes Iuc ilsn1 ~
self-determination for these Caucasian
REGIONS, the Turkish army is advanc'
ing toward Kars and Ardahan, destroy
ing the country and killing the Chris
tan population.
The responsibility for the future
destiny OF the Armenians lies entirely
with Germany, because it was Ger
manys insistence that resulted in the
withdrawal of the Russian troops from
the Armenian regions, and at the mo-
ment it rests with Germany to prevent
the habiltual excuses OF the Turkish
troops, increased by the revengeful-
ness and anger.
Urge Germany to Act.
ut Is nard to believe that civil
lied state like Germany, which has the
means for preventing the excuses OF
her ally, will permit the Brest-Litovsk
treaty to ne used by the German peo-
pie, who have been involved in war
against their own will, as means for
the creation OF incalculable sufferings.
THE national council firmly believes
that you will undertake the necessary
measures, which depend solely upon
you. to influence the Turkish authori-
ties with a view to saving the Arme-
Man people from fresh horrors
