BERLIN, March ga storm of
hatred and thirst for revenge is
raging between the Germans and the
Poles.
An avengers weapon kills the cow
ardly murderer of miserable people.
The quarrel about Frances occupa-
tion of Germany in regard to repara-
tions fans the spirit of the people
into consuming flame of hate.
In the clouded atmosphere OF these
three events we celebrate the feSti-
val of the holy resurrection. which
promised mankind peace on earth'
good will to men.
The shot. fired in the daytime on
the streets of Berlin. not only kiileu
Turk Talaat but il also awakened
with bang the smell of powder, and
forgotten "reminiscences OF the SICK
ness under which our continent mas
been suffering; of the poison Which
must be elected if We are TO start
life anew.
Talaat Pasha, although he ardently
disputed it, was the principal person
responsible for tn n;drtyrdom of the
Armenian people-a martyrdom Whlcn
can be understood only by an imas1-
nation trained in hell.
Official and voluminous documents
have been prepared to prov- that the
German government never approved
the disgraceful dealings of Turks like
1.alaat. However, the German gov
ernment thought we could not do
without the Turks as allies. and
therefore it tolerated the massacre of
almost a million Armenian Chris
tians-men. women, children. and the
aged and infirm. During the war the
censorship forbade the mention of all
this.
Demanded by "War Morale
"War morale" demanded that our
people. whose leaders daily called
upon the only God" as witness to
the holy justice of their cause, allow
wholesale murder of innocent. de-
fenseless people. because our ally
wished to use its opportunity to de-
troy a Christian nation hated by
Islam. The end was counted upon
to justify the means.
Now. twenty-nine months after the
end of the war. young Armenian
discovers the residence of the whole
sale murderer. He does more than
the terrorized people of the Greek
and Roman period, who still fed upon
revenge a thousand years after an
untoward event. He does more than
William Tell did for the freedom of
Switzerland. For in order to avenge
his people and his parents, who had
been dragged into misery and death,
he throws away mis- young life to tear
a guilty leader from the comfort of
a SNUG and enjoyable existence.
This young avenstlg Armenian.
after laying Turk Talatt low, is not
only thrown into prison. as required
by law. but is cruelty ill-treated on
the streets. while his victim receives
the funeral rites to which hero or a
benefactor of mankind would be en-
titled Sympathy ought to be only
for him whom a storm OF passion
drove to break the law and encroach
upon the worlds judicature.
Fight for Upper SiIesin.
However, our war morale" still
is deeply embedded in the blood.
Whoever throws a glance eastward
from Berlin sees another example.
For almost two years two nations
have been fighting for Upper Silesia.
a land that for the last nine cen
turtles had belonged to Poland. Ger
many has passionately coveted this
land. for besides its iron and tin, it
has the largest zinc production in
Europe. while it's coal treasures are
considered the most abundant on the
face of the earth. as we'll as promis-
ing the longest duration.
During the time of greatest distress
the past winter. when coal was miss
ing from the stoves of the poor and
from important industrial centers
common sense advised the protection
of economic conditions in this i'm
portant country against collapse. In
stead there came the fight to prepare
for the vote demanded by the Yer
sailles treaty. And it was carried
on by the most abominable means of
a predatory war. Murder. terrorism
deception, false promises and corrup-
tion were daily weapons. The ma
turaI consequence was that the profit
yielding of industry decreased and
coal production fell.
The Upper Silesians, through a ma
jority, have manifested their will to
