A young Armenian deliberately murdered one oi the most prominent Turkish government officials on the streets of Berlin, and a German court adjudged him "not guilty."- That was the riddle which the cables spread abroad a short time ago. says The Literary Digest. The murdered man was T.iiaat Pasha, the chief of the Voting Turk party, and during the latter part of the war the grand vizier of the Ottoman empire. The murderer was an Armenian student named Solomon Teilirian. a youth with the general appearance of a successful voting; American business man. It was expected, writes George It. Montgomery, director of the Armenia-America society, "that !lie known1'sympathy of the German government would result in the piompt conviction of the Armenian. To the surprise of the world he was acquitted." The reason for his acquittal, aside from the fact that he found a champion in a liberal-minded German professor, has just come out in the publication of a series of documents which, in Mr. Montgomery's words, "establish once and for all that the purpose of the Turkish authorities, in the case ot the Armenians, was not dcpor.'ation. hut annihilation." Incidentally, it appears, the evidence establishes that Talaat l'asha was even more thorough in his methods than was that itci'od of the Itible who ordered the slaughter of the first born of lie .Jews. According to evidence strong enough to convince a naturally unsympathetic German court, men. women and children, including helpless orphans, were hv Talaat s orders, herded toI,.., I .1 1 I "Tl... i ut i <11 i'i nut ii^ii I < rn. i in trial of tin- Armenian developed into the trial of the murdered IViaat as the greatest of war criminals." writes Mr. Montgomery. More than that, it developed into a ease against tin* (ieriuan n.i'itary authorities, who had at le. st allowed the massacres to continue without protest. Kven Ceil. Liiiuiu von Sanders, who hud had charge of the Iteriuan military forces in Turkey, was called as a witness. The (ieriuan ofticinl reports were procured, allowing the total uuiuher of Armenians who had perished was i?\er 1 million. The word 'deportation." it was shown, was a euphemism for "slaughter." I\< garding the children who were orphaned hy the massacre of their parents, Talaat writes in ai. order to the governor of Aleppo; "Tin* government will regard i In* feeding of such children or any attempt to prolong their lives-as an act entirely opposed Jo its purpose since it considers the survival of these children as detrimental." Another order tiecress that "all such children" shall lie collected and scot to the "places of deportation." which places, us other orders show, were prepared for the extermination of all Arciueiiians sent there. These considerations resulted in the acquittal of Talaat's confessed assassin, whose mother had been a victim of the Turk's orders. WINFIELD HANCOCK PAINTER AND DECORATOR Fort Mill, - - S.
