TURKEY'S LATEST AMBITION.
(reuter's telegram.)
LONDON. 31st January. . Reuters correspondent learns authoritatively that the Turks are deliberately endeavouring to exterminate the Arabs in the same way as they have dealt with the Armenians. A military cordon has surrounded the whole of the Lebanon region, and is keeping out food supplies, the result being that half,the population has died of hunger. The Turks have devastated Syria, and Palestine, and deported numerous, illustrious Arab families, after hanging the leaders wholesale. The Arab soldiers were aerel to the worst fronts. Those who escaped conscription, deportation, or hanging, were forced to accommodate typhus-stricken Armenians.
