LEBANON IS
ILL-TREATED
By THE TURKS
PARIS, I rai.ce—A dispatch from
the correspondent of the Temps in
Cairo paints in the darkest colors
the situation of the Christian popula
tions in Syria end the Lebanon. The
letter is as follows:
It is new nearly four months ainco
the Turks undertook the massacre en
masse of the populations of the Leb
anon. Recognizing the difficulties of
the system which they adopted for
the extermination of the Armenians
and lacking the collaboration of the
spot of the Kurds which had been giv
er them elsewhere, they blockaded the
mountain, as if it had been a besieged
city prevented provisioning, cut all
outside communication, with the re
sult that famine has done its work.
To add to this, under the pretext of
affording aid to the starved people,
the Turkish administration distribut
ed bread made of wood shaving and
black vetch. The effect was terrible.
. . . An eye witness who was en
abled to visit villages and towns and
escaped from the inclosed area states
that the conditions are beyond descrip
tion.
How can this sudden change in the
Turkish policy be explained? contin
ues the Temps’ correspondent. Why
did the Turks postpone the realization
of their scheme for so long a time?
Turkey had inaugurated in the Leba
non to retain its administrative privi
leges, contenting herself with abro
gating its political atonomy and the
guarantees which secured it; she had
removed the troops of occupation; she
had opened schools for both girls and
i hoys; she had repatriated those men
who had been deported or kept as
hostages; she had reinstated all the
native ofiicials, contenting herself
with a Turkish appointment to the
post of ' governor-general; capital
punishment and hard labor had been
inflicted on soldiers guilty of repre
hensible conduct toward women. Dje
mal Pasha had ostentatiously visited
the Maronite patriarch in his own
home, accompanied by a brilliant staff,
and when the venerable patriarch
returned the visit in Beirut he was
received with royal honors. Now he
has been dragged before a court
martial and sits on the bench of the
accused like a criminal.
At the beginning of hostilities, the
Turks, dreading a rising in the Leba
non, had sent 40,000 troops to main
tain order. This danger having been
averted, the activities of the allies on
the Egyptian frontier disquieted Dje
mal Pasha seriously and Tie did not
consider it advisable to create further
interial difficulties. For a long time
he lived in dread of an invasion of
the Syrian coast by the allies; neither
was the time propitious for the execu
tion of his vast plan for the extermi
nation of the Christians in the east;
and Austria, who still had some moral
influence and in order to please the
government at Rome, intervened. At
the present time there is nothing to
preoccupy the Turks; Austria appears
satisfied at her attempts at protec
tion; Enver Pasha went himself to
make sure that everything was ready
for the execution of the crime; every
thing appeared propitious, and these
wretched populations, bound hand and
foot, abandoned of men were at the

mercy of the Turkish scimitar.
But by a refinement of hypocrisy a
further pretext for the crime was
sought. The affair of the archives of
the French consulate at Beirut has al
ready been mentioned in the press.
The French officials were guilty of
an imprudence and the United States
consul of a compliance which we will
refrain from discussing. We leave to
those whose business it is the duty of
deciding with whom the responsibil
ity rests. What can be said on behalf
of the French officials is that they
destroyed and removed a great por
tion of the confidential papers which
were in the office of archivist among
papers relating to current aifairs. But
stored away there was a whole stock
of part)-3 which could not be carried
away and there was neither the time
nor the pace in which to sort or ever,
destroy them. The Turks, however
had leisure and the documents which
thus came into their possession were
sent to Constantinople before being
handed to the court-martial at Aley.
(Alep, Aleppo?) If this explains the
reasons of the Turkish delay in acting,
it is difficult to understand the si
lence of the United States, which did
not even oppose a platonic protest to
the violence of the Turkish agents
who, with the most consummate dis
dain, broke the seals affixed by the
American consulate on the French
premises.
The consequence of this affair, which
was hardly noticed at the time, has
been the arrest of the entire Maronite
episcopate, the deportation of over
4,000 Christian notables of the Leb
anon, of Beirut and of Baalbeck, ex
ecutions and the hanging of prisoners,
details of which have not yet reached
us, and finally the blockade of the
Lebanon and the extermination of its
population by means of famine. To
the naval blockade of the allies the
Turks have replied by a continental
blockade, and this people, which of all
foreign peoples, has assimilated
French culture the most readily, is
now paying the extreme penalty, for
saken and alone.
'J he Cuban government has ordered
all bakeries to use break-making ma
chinery on the ground that mixing
dought by hand is dangerous to pub
lic health.
