ALLENBY STOPS
CRAFT OF TURK
Persecution Of Armenians and
Confisoation Of Property Pre-.
vented by English Officer.

Tho most arbitrary city boss in the
wsrld, 1t seems safe to say, as well "a
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician Of
modern times, has turned up in Aintab.
Armenia. to judge from an official re.
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund II. Il.
Allenby's orders.
He IL . Turk named Besim Boy. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him. he practiced upon the terrified
Armenians such forms Of super.graft
a. might well make every other or.
rupt politician in the world green with
envy, and sucn crueltles as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down. seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His Office was that Of Munic.
ipal Chief Accountant Of Aintab; but.
as all dishonest ofice-holders know,
1t isn't the job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with II. Besim
Bey plucked sugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done in that city while such condi-
tons Of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal Of the six worst Turks In the
ring that ruled the city, and Beslm
Beg qualified, as usual. for frst place.

This was shown conclusively before
the Rules Committee OF the House
when that body made its inquiry into
Mexican difficulties and the belief is

All the diplomatic resources of this

effort to deal with the Mexican prob

Notwithstanding all this there is a
strong element in Congress entirely
reconailed TO the price which this
country would have to pay in order
to compel Mexico TO be decent. to safe
guard the lives OF foreigners. and to
give protection to investments which
foreigners have made in that country
There is no reason at this moment to
believe however that this element
