WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. — Robert Lansing, Secre
tary of State, has published another series of sensational
telegrams between Count von Bernstorff, former ambas
sador to the United States, and his home government.
These are remarkable for their degree of cunning
and ingenuity of the Teuton diplomacy employed in an ef
fort to injure the Allies through cutting off resources in
America, and at the same time avoiding the wrath of the
American people.
One from Zimmerman said:
“The general staff desires energetic action in regard
to the proposed destruction of the Canadian Pacific at sev
eral points to interrupt traffic.”
Another signed “RepresentativodGeneral Staff" gave
the names of O’Garritv, of Philadelphia; John B. Keating,
of Chicago, and Jeremiah O’Leary, of the Truth Society
of New York, as persons suitable to carry on sabotage in
munition factories in the United States.
The message added that the emissaries must not touch
railway embankments or bridges and under no circum
stances must the German embassy be compromised.

GREEK CHRISTIANS
ART SLAIIGHTTRTD
BV FIENDISH TURKS
NEW YORK, Oct. ID. — Not sated
by the slaughter of hundreds of thou
sands of Armenians and Syrians, the
Turk has also turned against the
Greek Christians in his diminions and
more than 700,000 have fallen a vic
tim to persecution in the form of j
death, suffering or deportation, it was
declared here today by Frank W.
Jackson, of this city, chairman of the
Relief Committee for Greeks of Asia
Minor. He said the real details cf
these new Turkish atrocities were just'
beginning to leak out.
“The story of the Greek deportation
is not yet generally known,” said Mr.!
Jackson. ‘‘Quietly and gradually the
same treatment is being meted out to
the Greeks as to the Armenians. Al
though closely guarded, certain echoes
of these horrors come out from time
to time.
“There were some two or three mil
lion Greeks in Asia Minor at the out
break of the war in 1914, subject to
Turkish rule. According to the latest
reliable and authoritative accounts
some seven to eight hundred thousand
have been deported, mainly from tin
coast regions into the interior of Asia
Minor.
C rush I he Greeks
“The Greeks of Asia Minor have al
ways been law-abiding and perfectly I
loyal to the Turkish government. Un-I
der Abdul Hamid they were we’ i
treated, but his successors adopted |
program to crush them.
“At the declaration of the present
war all persecutions were stopped but
the spring of 1915 brought to the
stage a tragic, novel drama unique in
the history of the world as to its hor
rors and destructiveness, that is the
Armenian deportation; under that in
nocent name the extermination of a
Christian race was started.
‘‘Along with the Armenians most of
the Greeks of the Marmora regions
and Thrace have been deported on the
pretext that they gave information o
the enemy. Along the Aegean coast
Aivalik stands out as the worst suf
ferer. According to one report some
70,000 Greeks there have been deport- i
ed toward Koria and beyond. At
least 7,000 have been slaughtered. The
Greek Bishop of Aivalik committed
j suicide in despair.
Expulsion Orders
“The latest account from Trebizond
shows the towns along the Black Sea
are being emptied of their Greek pop
ulation. From Lyndon S. Crawford,
missionary of the American Board at
| Trebizond, we have a letter dated July
24, 1917, in which he says the follow-1
ing order came from Turkish army!
headquarters at Sheishehie: ‘By 12.25
July let no Greek man over 16 and
under 50 be found in Ordou. Send all
such on into the interior. As for the
families, we will send further orders
later/
“Mr. Crawford also wrote: ‘FirstI
let us express once more our thank-j
fulness to God for the deliverance He
has sent us by the great, grand Rus
sian army and people. We are more
and more appreciating what the Rus-I
sians have done for this region. 1m
mediately after the Russian occupa
tion of this province in April, 1916,
hundreds of Armenians began to come
out of their hiding places/
Families Separated
i “From the Greek Minister to the
United States, Georges Rousses, I
have a letter September 23, 1917, in
which he says:
“‘Backed by the Germans, the |
! Turks have put into execution and ]
' even organized their wildness. They
have decided to exterminate the Greek
element which is the most important
and most numerous in Asia Minor, j
“‘Under pretext of necessities of
war entire populations have been de-^
ported. Members of families have been
separated. The old, the men unfit for
miiltarv service and the women, were
sent into the interior of the country,
abandoned without the slightest help
and exposed to all sorts of depriva
tions. The men lit for military ser
vice were taken by force into the army
despite the fact of having paid for
exemption; some of the wealthiest
have even been called on to pay this
exemption fee three times over.' "
The Relief Committee for Greeks of
Asia Minor, Mr. Jackson said, has been
organized for non-political and purely
humanitarian purposes and aims at
securing means to aid these Greeks
reduced by sudden persecutions to a
state of want.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. — Brig,
(ion. William Oozier, Chief of Ord
nance, authorizes the following state
ment:
“.My attention has been called to
published reports that there is a short
age of rifles at the cantonments and
that three rifle manufacturing con
cerns have been idle during the sum
mer when they might have been en
gaged in manufacturing rifles.
“These arms companies have not
been idle, but have been making ex
tensive preparations for turning out
a rifle which would give us both a
reasonable degree of interchangeabil
ity of important parts and uniform
ammunition. Two of them have be
gun making deliveries.
“Two days ago the deliveries of
these three factories and the two gov
ernment ones were 1,200 rifles per
day. The deliveries now are more
than 1,300 per day and the deliveries
will progressively increase. The third
company, engaged until recently on
British contracts, is practically ready
to begin deliveries.
“I may also say that whenever a
soldier is ready to go to France—that
is, when he is trained and equipped
in every other way—a modern rifle
will be ready for him.
“At the outset of the war it was
fully recognized and explained that
we could pursue two courses—either
experience a perfectly endurable de
lay and produce a rifle with inter
changeable parts to use a standard
ammunition, or produce rifles more
rapidly but without interchanging of
parts and incapable of using a uni
form ammunition.
“By waiting two or three months
we have not only obtained a one-am
munition rifle but a rifle with parts
which may be interchanged quickly on
the battlefields of Europe and which
may be turned out by three factories
in this country. The Ordnance Bu
reau is willing to stand on this basis,
inasmuch as every soldier will be sup
plied a rifle of that type when he
starts for France.
“There are now at each of the can
tonments 5,000 rifles suitable for drill
ing purposes. A rifle to each man is
not imperative for purposes of drill
as the companies can drill at different
hours. The main thing is to supply
rifles when the trained men arp ready
to leave, and such rifles will be rap
idly turned out now by three factories
and two Government factories which
have equipped themselves during the
summer for the work and can supply
the rifles in sufficient numbers at the
required time.”
