A TURKISH HEROD.
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.
