DISCOVER HOI
It) KILL SULTAN
Arrest of 300 Turks Opposed To War
Party Is Made—Plot Laid To
Armenians.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 18.—A
plot by Armenians to assassinate the
Sultan was discovered today and the
Sultan was protected from the assas
sins. More than 300 people have
been arrested, including many high
government officials and citizens op
posed to the war party in control
of the government.
The arrests were made at daylight,
troops raiding many homes and tak
ing the suspected parties to the bar
racks. German officers commanded
the arresting parties and searched
the houses for evidence of plots
against the Sultan.
It is generally expected that all
Turks known to be opposed to the
war wiil be arrested in a few days
and charged with being implicated
in the plot against the Sultan. The
alleged plot will give the Young
Turks an opportunity to stamp out
all opposition.
A strong detail of troops now
guard the Sultan and his palace.
