the mingIing OF their blood with the
Turkish population would exert a
eugenic influence upon the whole. Ar
menian boys OF tender years could
be taken into Turkish families and
he brought UP in ignorance OF the
fact that they were anything but
Moslems. These were about the only
elements, however, that could make
any valuable contributions to the new
Turkey which was now being planned.
Since all precautions must be taken
against the development of a new
generation of Armenians, IL would be
necessary to kill outright all men who
were in their prime and thus capable
of propagating the accursed species
Old men and women formed no great
danger to the future of Turkey, for
they had already fulfilled their nat
ural function of leaving descendants;
still they were nuisances and there
fore should be disposed of.
Plan "HoIy" Enterprise.
Unlike Abdul Hamid. the Young
Turks found themselves in a posi-
tion where they could carry out this
holy enterprise. Great Britain,
France. and Russia had stood in the
way of their predecessor. But now
these obstacles had been removed. The
Young Turks. as I have said. believed
that they had defeated these nations
and that they could therefore no
longer interfere with their internal
affairs. Only one power could sue
cessfully raise objections and that was
Germany. In 1898. when all the rest
of Europe was ringing with Glad
stones denunciations and demanding
intervention. Kaiser Wilhelm the
Second had gone to Constantinople,
visited Abdul Hamid, pinned his
finest decorations on that bloody
tyrant's breast, and kissed him on
10th cheeks. The same Kaiser who
had done this in 1898 was still sitting
on the throne in 1915. and was now
Turkeys ally. Thus for the first time
in two centuries the Turks, in 1916,
had their Christian populations ut
terly at their mercy. The time had
finally come to make Turkey exclu-
sively the country of the Turks.

The 'ReyoIutiono at yap

The Turkish province of Van lies in
the remote northeastern corner of
Asia Minor; it touches the frontiers
OF Persia on the east and its northern
boundary looks toward the Caucasus
1t is one of the most beautiful and
most fruitful parts of the Turkish
Empire and one of Il richest in his
torical associations. The CITY of Van.
which is capital of the yilayet lies
on the eastern shores of the lake of
the same name; it is the one large
town in Asia Minor in which the Ar
mentan population Is larger than the
Moslem. In the fall OF 1914 its nopula
ton of about $1,000 people represented
one of the most peaceful and happy and
prosperous communities in the Turk
ish Empire. Though Van, like prsc-
tically every other section where Ar
menians lived, had had its periods of
oppression and massacre, vet the
Moslem yoke, comparatively spes king
rested upon its people rather lightly.
Its Turkish governor, Tahsin Pasha-
was one of the more enli ightened tvne
of Turkish officials. Relations be-
tween the Armentans. who lived in
the better sections of the city. and
the Turks and the Kurds, who occu-
pied the mud huts in the Moslem
quarter. had been tolerably agreeable
for many years.
The location Of this vilayet, how
ever. inevitably made it the scene of
military operations, and made the ac-
tivities of its Armenian population a
matter Of daily suspicion, Should
Russia attempt an Invasion of Turkey
one OF the most accessible routes lay
through this province. The war had
not, gone far when causes or irrita-
ton arose. The acquisitions of army
supplies fell far more heavily upon
the Christian than upon the Moham-
medan elements in Van. just as they
did in every other part of Turkey,
The Armenians had to stand quietly
by while the Turkish officers appro.
priated all their cattle, all their
wheat. and all their goods OF every
kind, giving them only worthless
pieces of papsr In exchange. Tho. At.

Editorials written by him during the
preceding weeks show that he was
thoroughly and-German, and that
when the time came he would act ac-
co-dingly. At times his outspoken-
ness is remarkable.
When Germany settled the affairs
of prostrate Rumania in her own way.
at the Treaty OF Bucharest, Malinoi
sounded : warning.

A few days later he wrote: THE
assertion that the question of the Dob
rudja will be settled after the conclu-
sion OF peace cannot warm any Bull
garian heart. On the contrary, It re-
duces to dust the projects of Germany
in southeastern Europe.
This was sufficiently plain. But
the next day he went still farther.
He felt that Germany was virtually
helping Turkey to take Bulgarian
territory. And he said:
"One who extorts cannot be an
ally II Bulgaria must seek an un-
derstanding with Turkey, she may
have to enter into direct negotia-
tions. which may have a result quite
the opposite to what the allies, Ger
many and Austria, expect"

After MaIinofr became premier, the

ent to interview him, and the cor
respondent reported him as saying.
somewhat graphically. that many of
the mistakes of the late government
were closely connected with Ger

In the course OF the same week.
a paragraph appeared in the Pre-
poretz which spoke of certain
"blackmailers. thieves, and impos-
tors identity unspecified) who
are the greatest enemies of our
country. much more dangerous than
the enemy in arms against US"
Apparently the Vossiche Zeitung
had thought: Gould he possibly
means us?" At any rate. it an
nounced that it would withhold its
opinion as to the real attitude of
Malinoff toward Germany until he
made it palmer by his actions. 1t
should be sufficiently plain by now.

Recall Tahsin Pashn.

When the war started, the central
government recalled Tahsin Pasha,
the conciliatory governor of Van, and
replaced him with Djevdet Bey, a
brother-in-law of Enver Pasha- This
act in itself was most disquieting
Turkish .officialdom has always con-
tained a minority of men who do not
believe in massacre as a state policy
and cannot be depended upon to carry
out strictly the most bloody orders of
the central government. Whenever
massacres have been planned, there
fore, 1t has been customary to first
remove such ''untrustworthy' public
servants and replace them with men
who are regarded as more reliable.
The character Of Tahsin's successor
made his displacement still more
alarming Djevdet had spent the
larger part of his life at Van; he was
a man of unstable character, friendly
TO non-Moslems one moment, hostile
the next, hypocritical. treacherous,
and ferocious according to, the worst
traditions of his race. He hated the
Armenians and cordially sympathized
with the long-established Turkish plan
of solving the Armenian problem.
There is little question that he came
to Van with definite Instructions to
exterminate all Armenians In this
province, but, for the first few months
conditions did not facilitate such op-
erations. Djevdet himself was absent
fighting the Russians in the Caucasus
and the near approach of the enemy
made il a -Eiaa policy Tor the Turks

The Murder of n Natior

The destruction of the Armenian
race in 1915 involved certain difficulties
that had not impeded the operations
of the Turks in the massacres Of 1885
and other years. In these earlier Pc
riods the Armenian men had possess
ed little power or means of resistance
In those days Arrnenians had not been
permitted to have military training.
to serve in the Turkish army. or to
possess arms As I have already said,
these determinations were withdrawn
when the revolutionists obtained the
upper hand in 1905. Not only were
the Christians now permitted to bear
arms, but the authorities, in the full
flush of their enthusiasm for freedom
and equality, encouraged them to do
so. In the early part of 1915. there
fore, every Turkish city contained
thousands of Armenians who had
been trained as soldiers and who were
supplied with rifles, pistols, and other
weapons of defense. The operations
at Van once more disclosed that these
men could use their munitions to
good advantage. 1t was thus apparent
that an Armenian massacre this time
would generally assume more the
character of warfare than those whole
sale butcheries of defenseless men and
women which the Turks had always
found so congenial- II this plan of
numbering a race was to succeed, two
preliminary steps would therefore
have to be taken: 1t would be neces-
sary 20 render all Armenian soldiers
powerless and to deprive Of their arms
the Armenians in every city and
town. Before Armenia could be
slaughtered, Armenia must be made
defenseless.
In the early part of 1916, the Ar
menian soldiers in the Turkish army
were reduced to a new status Up to
that time most of them had been COM
batants, but now they were all strip
ped of their arms and transformed
into workmen Instead Of serving
their countrymen as artillerymen
and cavalrymen, these former
soldiers now discovered that they had
been transformed into road laborers
and pack animals. Army supplies of
all kinds were loaded on their backs.
and. stumbling under the burdens and
driven by the whips and bayonets of
the Turks. they were forced TO drag
their weary bodies into the mountains
