WANT AMERICAN MANDATORY.
People Of Armenia, Syria and Turkey
. Reported to Be Eager.

Rome, June tBy the Associated
Press The people OF Armenia, Syria
and Turkey are most eager that the
United States shall have the league of
nations mandate for their countries, de-
clared Bishop H. H. Fout of Indianapo
lis, the head of one section of the Amer
lean commission for relief, who arrived
in Rome to-day on his way to the
United States. Bishop Fout, who be
longed to the United Brethren church,
was accompanied by IL other members
of his commission.
These people," he added, "look to
the United States in their present APP
palling condition. They cry out for the
United States. America is their first
choice, with Great Britain second.
Turkey by her inhuman treatment,
in my opinion, has lost the right to be
entrusted with authority to rule. From
various estimates ] have reached the
conclusion that out of the Armenian ma
ton of 100000 at the outbreak of the
war, 100000 were massacred. The con-
dition of the former is most appalling.
"There is plenty of mute evidence in
the hands of thousands of skeletons
scattered throughout the Turkish en-
pire that the Turks sought to extermi-
nate the Armenians by systematic mas
sacre The Armenisns were driven like
herded cattle from one locality to an
other until they were exhausted by tor

lures and torments of unbelievable char.
acter. In addition the Turks sought to
wipe out the clergy Of Armenia. Only
eight out of a bishops survived, while
only 10 per cent of the clergy is living
to-day"
Rev. Paul F, B. Chappell of Nashville,
Tenn, told the correspondent of what
he had seen in travelling from Port Said
TO Alpho.
Poverty is most profound, although
the prospects for the next harvest are
good" he said. Even at the present
time the people fall dead in streets from
the effect of Turkish treatment, The
Turks could not invade Syria as they
invaded Armenia, but they were sue
cessful in preventing food from going to
Syria. Starvation is widespread through
out the region.
Colonel Hawker, the British com
mander at Beirut, told me he thought it
would be found that only 80 per cent OF
the Armenians are living when final &C
counts are taken. He said the Armeni-
ans were bounded and driven over an
area 200 square miles in extent They
were harassed by armed and mounted
Turks, who worked in relays.
''The Turkish plan was to take allthe
able-bodied men from the community
and tie them up Then they would tor
ture them by cutting their flesh and
burning the wounds. Finally they would
cut off their heads in the presence of the
wives and children of the victims. The
old men, women and children were herd
ed together and driven from place to
place"

LEADING BRITISH ACE"
Major E. w. Mannock Was Not Recog-
nized Until Late

London, June Correspondence of
the Associated Press THE late Major
Il. w. Mannock was the leading ace" of
the British aviation corps but it was
not until months after the armistice that
the fact was known and he never will be
officially credited by the air ministry
with being Englsnd's premier flyer. 1t
was the policy Of the ministry during
the war not to proclaim individual ex-
PLOTS and it has not been changed since
fighting ceased.
The record of Mannock's Is months
service is most unusual. He started by
outwitting examining physicians in con-
cealing the fact that he was blind in one
eye At 20 years of age he was older
than most of the pilots in training but
he seemed to lack nothing required Of a
successful air fighter and soon qualified
and went to France.
Immediately he adopted tactics pecur
liar to himself and it finally was a devia
tion from those tactics that brought him
down. He always flew very high and
enticed his adversary into a high fight
he chased his falling foe too near the
ground and a bullet from an anti-aircraft
gun ended his career.
Officers of the royal air force have ac-
claimed him the greatest air tactician in
the service, He had none of the eccen-
tricities prevalent among successful
French aviators but he was scientific,
persistent and logged. One of his broth
er officers recently said that he had seen
Mannock stalk a Hun for an hour or
more, attempting TO gradually draw him
higher and then, when the slightest OPP
portunity for advantage presented itself,
he was on the foe like cat
Although Mannock was presented with
the distinguished service order and the
military. cross it was not until the thou
sands Of records of pilots were checked
in the air ministry here that it was
known he had more Germans to his cred
it than any other British aviator This
fact was allowed to become known at
the ministry but not officially.

ed out that. as delay would favor the
Germans, there is necessity for haste in
bringing exchanges between the allies
and the enemy 10 a close. A more hope.
