EnVer Pasha Discusses the Armenlans.
An this time ! was bringing pressure
upon Enver also. The minister Of war,
as I have already indicated, was a dit
ferent type OF man from TalAat, He
concealed his real feelings much more
successfully he was usually suave,
cold blooded and syupulously polite.
And at first he was by no means 50

that the troubles at Van were merely

hilatton of the ArmeHians had been
decided on. Yet all the time that En-
Yer was attempting to deceive me, he
was making open admissions to other
pcopl6-a fact of which | was aware.
In particular he made no attempt to
conceal the real situation from DR..
LepSiuS, a representative Of German
missionary interests. Dr. Lcpsius was
a high-minded Christian gentleman. He
had been all through the Armenian
massacres Of 1895, and he had raised
considerable sums OF money TO build
~orphanages for Armenian children who
had lost their parents AT that time. He
came again In 1915 to investigate the
Armenian situation in behalf Of Ger
man missionary interests. He asked for

other Information which Or, Lepsius
obtained, largely from German mis-

IN his mind as to the policy OF the
Turks, His feelings were aroused
chiefly against his own government
! He expressed to me the humiliation
which he felt, as a German, that the
Turks should deliberately get about TO

country, was making no e%ndcavors to

high of st. Paul here Saturday SO to
0. The Creiton huskies put up stub
born resistance, especially in the first
quarter, when they held the speedy
locals scoreless, but River Falls hit
her stride and ran wild from then on.
Creiton had sufficient power at times
to give the local fans an opportunity
to watch the lightning speed of the
River Falls team when forced into
real effort, and it was revelation to
most of those present, especially to
the visiting players. The River Falls
forwards, on defense, would slip, dive
or squirm through the line like
flash and there were usually four or
five of them on the runner before he
had chance to start. It was great
work and proved that the fast back
field owes great measure of it's spec
tacular scoring fame to an equally
fast and gritty line.
