NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 18, 1915.
Xow that tlie lull extent of the Ar
menian massacres are becoming ap
pal eut through the publication of au
tnentic reports issued by American
Amoassauor Meigenthau, Charles 11.
Crane, lieau oi the .-vmeiicau commit
tee or Armenian relief, and Olliers who
are cognisant of tile lull situation, one
cannot but oe deeply impressed Willi tne
view tnai the tngiiUui devastations ut
the f uiaes in me Armenian country is
mueeu me culminating horror of the
uwtul year of sinte and bloodshed
vv meu lias so disgraced the world ana
humanity.
me reports state that out of a
total population of near one and a hail
million souls, approximately three huu
ured and fifty tliousand have been
i uuilessiy slaugntered while an addi
tional one iiunured and fifty thousand
have been driven into exile in me wild
and desert places, wnero theie is
iicitner blieiter nor sustenance, there
to perish miserably from hunger aim
imrst unless succored1 by a merciful
providence. Also we' are told liiat
thousands of women and young girls
have been carried away by the Turkisn
troops to a life oi unutterable horrors
l esiocs which death WjU'e preferable.
Verily, to read the record with its
Pitiful tales of barbarous and inhu
man crueltiest told by the survivors
themselves, is apt to make one shudder
at tile awfulness of it all even thought
we have lately grown used to grew
someness and horror. And when one
remembers that these are harmless and
innocent people against whom there is
no charge save that they are Chria
tions, one cannot but feel the hope
arising from their inmost being that
the perpetrators of such nameless out
rages shall be made to pay the penalty
lor the horror they have wrought upon
:uis inoffensive and utterly defenseless
people.
The blood thirsty attacks on the Ar
menian people cannot be condoned on
tlie score that they are a part of war
or in any degree attached to the furi
ous conflict raging in Europe. They
are nothing less than massacre in the
full sense of the term, an open and
shameless butchery, a deliberate at
tempt to annihilate a peace loving,
thoroughly Christian people.
Further they are the culmination of
centuries of the most bestial and bar
barous oppression and murder. For
ages the Armenians have felt the
weight of Moslem hostility and time
and again during the hundreds of
years they have dwelt in the shadow
of Ararat have the bloodthirsty follow
ers of the Prophet visited them with
■ Ire and sword. Probably there Is no
nation among the race? of mankind
who have suffered worse because of
their religious convictions than this
harmless people who have no aim nor
ambition but to live a quiet peaceful
life in heir historical land along the
Euphrates. Times without number the
Turks have swept down among them
slaughtering and burning with a sav
agery Indescribable, butchering the
men and ravishing their women with
a gusto known only to that vilest of
all human races. The Armenians have
seldom resisted and have bowed their
necks to the stroke of death with a
fortitude indescribable. It 1a even re
corded that the Turk* themselves have I
often sickened at their bloody work j
and have turned away with loathing, j
leaving the Armenians to linger in 1
fearful anticipation of the day when i
the hearts of their oppressors grew
si out for a further feast of blood and
carnage. Such intervals were the only
surcease given to the hapless Armen
ians—when their butchers grew tired
of the work of killing and ravishing.
The last great massacre of the
Armenians is the worst that history
aas known and indicates nothing less
than an attempt to annihilate the race |
from Turkish soil. The reports leave'
little doubt upon tlWs score as they
plainly disclose that the attacks are
not the work of depredating and law
less bunds but are they systematic ac
orn of trained and officered trbops of
the Sultan who are apparently going
about their awful task under orders
j and in pursuance of a deiinlte plan.
From all appearances the only thing
that can save the pitiful remnant of
this once sturdy race is intervention by
the Christian powers of the earth.
These people are not barbarians. They
ire perhaps the oldest Christian na
tion on the face of the globe hence it
is a solemn Christian duty; a sacred
obligation laid upon Christian human
ity to go to their relief. The whole
Christian world should rise in unison
to demand the cessation of the murder -
ius outrages and the punishment of
Lheir perpetrators. If the Christian
races are true to the spirit of their
belief they cannot allow the awful
barbarities inflicted on the Armenians
to pass unheeded. Besides the horrors
aping wrought in defenseless Armenia,
the massacres of Kiev and Kishnief
and even the abominations of the Bel
gian Congo dwindle into nothingness.
The world is fain to gasp with horror
at the desolation of Belgum yet be
side this greater horror it w'ere but a
; rifling thing. Christian humanity
cannot stand idly by and see the shat
tered remnant of the Armenian race
swrept away in the devastating flood of
.Moslem hatred nor can it in justice to
itself permit that the loathsome bar
barities continue ever again.
It is not a question of sending money
although money will do a most bene
cient work in alleviating the suffer
ings of those thousands who have fled
o such places of shelter as may be
"mind In Persia and Russia. What is
needed most is the united demand of
he Christian world that Turkey cease
forever her recurrent outbreaks of
murder and rapine. In this demand the
United States, as the foremost nation
f the earth In upholding the cause
f humanity, should by all means be
the leader. As the earth’s greatest
■xponont of freedom and the right to
ive in peace and security it Is the
olemn duty of this government to
espouse the cause of this suffering peo
ple and to impress upon Turkey once
■md for all that humanity cannot per
mit a continuance of what Is undoubt
dly the most shameless horror of mod
rn times. Backed by the remaining
Christian nations, the United States
should hold up the warning hand with
he admonition: “Thus far and no
farther.’’ Such a protest would proba
bly not pass unheeded by even the
"unutterable Turk” but, even though
the cost be war. this colossal barbar
ism should not be left to continue.
