AMERICA AND ARMENIA.
"The Armenian atrocities are moving America to protest and to demand that Washington should make unmistakable representations to Constantinople," Bays the Chronicle's New York correspondent.
"The World, Sun, GlobV and other newspapers denounce the massacres, the World asking, 'What will civilisation say to Germany's partnership in Turkey's guilt?' Twelve months ago Rustem Bey was_ compelled to leave Washington for his insulting comments on remonstrances against similar barbarities. Turkey then neither replied nor attempted to excuse the murders and outrages. •
"Washington' is still endeavouring to aPPty pressure .through Germany, but Count Bernstorff laughs at the crimes. Unfortunately there is no Gladstone to rouse the nation, no great Christian leader to awaken the religious communities which could place behintl President Wilson the overwhelming weight of 100^000,000 people, declaring tiiat the devilish work must cease. America hears the divine accusing voice in the reports of her own accredited Ambassador, but the churches'are, apparently unmoved."
