ConstantinOple and Armenia Cap
Climax of the Shame of Secret
Diplomacy UnderPeace Treaty;
We Should Reject Whole Pact

L
Enver Pasha commander in chief of the Turkish armies
and the forcsful personality in Turkey writes to the
Berlin correspondent of the Hearst newspapers that Turkey
Is being robbed Consannople the earthly seat Of the
Mohammedan religion" that if the nation broken up by
the representatives of the Great Powers the Turk VIII
the Mosem world aame and there Will be no peace In
the Orient
This declaration sent warning to all Christendom
through the Hearst newspapers on account OF the great
publicity which they command clear and authoritative
defiance of the enlightened sentiment Of the world as 1t
were uttered by Abdul Hamd himself or by the sheik-
VI Islam
The Washington Times publishes the message, a wire
less cable its Berlin correspondent to give it the wide
publicity which such message from such source deserves
Concurrenty with the publication desire to say:
The Turk OUGHT to be expelled from Constantinople,
and Armenia made free forever with her national
boundaries.
The wholesale murders of Armenians by the Turk
nue because Turk nothing but brute and savage
with fanacal hatred of Christians and uncomfortable
disposition kill them whenever the opportunity offers
He will never be any different and the only way to cure
this continual condition of murder and rapine to deprive
the Turk of all and opportunity to vent his savage
hatreds.
In the interest of humanity and civilization for which
supposed to have fought the Turk should be driven
out of Europe driven out OF Constantnope and restricted
to limited portion of Asia Minor:
He should be deprived Of all sovereignty over any
Christian people and Of all military power His armies
himself made subject to some civilized nation.
The League of Nations has tried to inic the Turk the
cminay insane ward of Europe the United States Of
America.
This country is position handle situation
far removed from it.
Let the European league handle it, but let handle in
accord with pledges these European nations have made in
with the high professions they have proclaimed in
accord with the first and fundamental principles of human
ity and Christianity.
AS long Turkey has power, it will misuse it, AS long
as it has arms, it will dip them in Christian blood.
The threat of the national hero of Turkey Enver Pasha
to set the Moslem world afame" empty threat If
Turkey when she backed by the brains money and
power of Germany in the world could not make eec
tive the holy she declared at the nsgaon of Ger
many for the purpose of arousng the Mosems Of Egypt
and England's Far Eastern colones-f she impoent
then aided and supported Germany at time when Ger
many seemed to be winning the war-what Turkey
do when she is without army and without government
that functions?
So much then, for that empty threat.
But the allied premers and the council of the League
of Nations about transfer itself from London to Rome
for the purpose of settling the affairs Of the Near East
preparing repeat of those shameful divisions OF the
spos of which have often dsgraced the peace
ferences" of the unholy past.
The allied premiers CUTTING UP ARMENIA
dividing it among the victors. They propose TO KEEP
TURKEY IN CONsTANTINOPLE. In spite of all the
world the Allies casting lots among themselves for this
booty.
When the United States declined the mandate for
Near East England in temporary possession Of Con-
stantinope by her fleet desired to retain it, But France
objected France desired obtain it, with large part of
Syria which belongs her and part of Armenia which she
is to get. England objected to that
As neither power would consent to give Conantnople
to the other both have decided to repudate every pledge
to the world given during the and to keep murderous
Turkey there
