The Portuguese aviators hoped off at

expected to be difficult, as there is only

J. Herbert Knapp, civil engineer OF Los

from ConstaItinople after three years

Mr.. Knapp went to Turkey principally

Of his brother. the late George p Knapp,
who the Turks repofted had died sud-
denly OF typhus. He declares that his
own investigation. supported by afr
davits on file with the American Consul
at Bagdad, convinces him that his
brother was executed by shooting.
The Turks hated my brother" said
Mr.. Knapp. because he knew too much
about the massacre of Christians, which
was then in progress. 1t was generally
reported that he had died from poison
ing after drinking a cup of Turkish cof-
fee handed to him by a prominent Turk
ish official, but / am confident from
testimony given by those who lived near
the scene of his death that he was de-
liberately murdered.

til the document was submitted to the
Irish Cabinet. and he gave active sup
port to the campaign OF De Valera
