ufy The Associated Prcssl

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. s.
A copy OF a secret Turkish circular
dated Nov. %, addressed to the
Provincial authorities and bearing
the seal Of the minister of the inte-
rior, reached Washington today or
tering the forcible conversion TO
Islam of the few non-deported Ar
menians and those who have escaped
masSacres and death by privations
and sickness.
"The non-deported Armenians and
those whose deportation has been
stopped and who have returned to
their homes, are to be made converts
to lslam," the circular says, "and
such Armenians who have thus been
converted may get back the property
which has been confiscated from
them
Houses which the Armenians
have been dispossessed shall be con
veyed to those Armenian women and
girls who during the deportation
period have been married to Mo
hamedans
"All Armenans who have thus
been converted and married should
be allowed to settle i'm Mohammedan
villages and cities, where they should
not constitute more than per cent
Of the local Mohammcdan popula-
ton"
Miriam Sevasly, representative in
the United States of the American
national delegation. to whom the
authentic copy Of this circular was
said in discussing the circular:
"The present government Of Con
stantinople has not modified the
least its policy toward the surviving
Armenians. 1t is following in the
footsteps of Sultan Hamid, who was
in the habit Of decorating distin-
guished foreigners and their wives in
Constantinople, while he was organ
izing massacre in the interior Of Asia
Minor and Armenia and the young
Turks. who gave the finishing touch
to the policy Of Armenian eXtermina-

Appeals of Business For Aid
in Financing Reconstruc-

DECISION is NO SURPRISE
Secretary Glass Had Taken a
Firm Stand For Ii
ORy The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. s.
Appeals of American business for aid
in financing the reconstruction Of
Europe re answered today when
the war finance corporation announc-
ed that four loans, aggregating $l7,-
100000 soon would be made to COM
meroial interests, which will employ
the money in exporting needed ma
terials to the stricken nations.
Wide difference Of opinion has
existed among government officials
as to the advisability of extending
governmental aid to manufacturing
exporters. Decision of the corpora
tion to utilize its powers under the
amended war finance corporation act
came as no surprise, however. as
Secretary Glass has taken q stand in
favor of giving assistance.
War finance corporation officials
here were reticent tonight about
plans for further loans. They admit
ted, however, that "sheaves Of appli-
cations for advances" were under
consideration. 1t was not believed
that the loans would be made freely,
although certainly more will be an
nounced within the next few weeks.
Heads Of great business houses
have been frequent visitors at the
offices Of the corporation and Off
cials have thus obtained information
of value as to the general needs. both
here and abroad. 1t was pointed out
that while the American manufactur-
er possibly could find markets for
his product here. he would not be es-
tablishirg himself in the world trade
AMI such a situation, business men
have told officials, would result in
the relegation Of American products
to secondary Importance i'll world
traffic.
The loans announced were COM
paratively small. but they were be-
lieved to forecast the attitude of the
corporations future action. Gilt
edged securities were demanded and
complete data a. to how the firms
receiving the governments help were
90 use the money was required.

PERMISSION TO
MOVEDEADFOR
THOSE WHOASK
Bodies Of American Soldiers
to be Brought Home are
Those Applied For


PARIS, Jan. 3.-Only those bodies
Of soldiers, removal Of which l. asked
by relatives, will be affected by per
mission given today by the French
government for the removal of bodies
Of American dead from outside the
zone Of the armies" il II under
stood. How many such requests have
been made Is not known here.
The 10000 bodies affected by the
order are scattered in 600 cemeteries,
the largest two Of which are at Brest,
where there are about $500 graves
of men who died Of influenza AT
Brest and on transports. Other
large cemeteries outside the army
zone are situated at Bordeaux. Nan
ties, Saint Nazairre, Tours, Lemans
and other big service Of supply cen
tiers.
The graves in these cemeteries are
principally Of men who died while
on duty with the service Of supply.
but there are also the graves of
many who died at hospitals in the
rear, to which they were removed
after being wounded in the battle
area.
1t will probably be year before
the removal of the bodies begins, as
the plan is first to remove to the
United States the bodies Of about
600 American soldiers buried in
Germany, with about 200 Of whom
died in prison camps The remainder
died while serving with the army Of
occupation. There are 500 Ameri-
can graves in Coblenz alone.
Seventy-six Americans are buried
in Italy. two in Holland and a few in
Australia The American dead in
England will be removed before the
work in the French cemeteries be-
gins. Civil employees, many of them
veterans Of the war. will aid in the
work. One company has already ar
rived in England, and metal caskets
to receive the bodies there are now
being sent from the United States.
The work there. il is expected, will
probably be finished by next fall,
when start will be made on the ex-
humations in Germany.
Negotiations between the French
and American governments over the
removal Of American dead from the
big military cemeteries at the front
are continuing, but it is thought
probable, if this j. agreed upon. that
two years will elapse before the
task il undertaken.
