TURK MUST QUIT EUROPE.
Former Ambassador Says Turk is
Only Fit for Fighting.
London, .Tan. 2G.?The demand for
the expulsion of the Turks from Europe,
included among the terms in
the entente allied note in reply to
President Wilson, is justified by
Lord Bryce in his views on that
phase of the entente reply, which
were given to the Associated Press
today.
This is the first time the former
ambassador to the United States has
appeared in connection with the
peace discussion, for while he has
been carefully considering President
Wilson's moves and the responses
made to them, he has refrained from
any utterance on the subject. Later
the decided conclusions he has
reached may be published.
Concerning Turkey, however, Lord
Bryce's views were formulated be
fore the peace notes were excnangea
and will appear in about a month for
authorized publication in London and
New York under government auspices.
Owing to their direct bearing ,
upon the terms regarding Turkey laid
down by the allies, he now has made
them available to the Associated
Press.
Lord Bryce's Views.
"No one who has studied the history
of the near East for the last five
centuries," said Lord Bryce, "will be
surprised that the allied powers have
declared their purpose to put an end
to the rule of the Turk in Europe,
and still less will he dissent from
the determination to deliver the
Christian population of what is called
the Turkish empire, whether in
Asia or in Europe, from the govern

turies, has done nothing but oppress
them.
"These changes are, indeed, long
overdue. They ought to have come
more than a century ago, because it
had then already become manifest
that the Turk was hopelessly unfit to
govern, with any approach to justice,
subject races of different religion.
Good Fighters.
"The Turk has never been of any
use for any purpose except for fighting.
He cannot administer, though
in his earlier days he had the sense
to employ intelligent Christian administrators.
He cannot secure justice.
As a governing power, he has
always shown himself incapable, corrupt
and cruel. He has always destroyed;
he has never created.
"Those whom we call Turks are
not a nation at all in the proper
sense of the word. The Ottoman
Turks were a small conquering tribe
from Central Asia, who were ruled
during the first two centuries of their
conquests by a succession of singularly
able and unscrupulous Sultans,
who subjugated the Christian population
of Asia Minor and Southeastern
Europe, compelling part of these
populations to embrace Mohammedanism
and supporting their own
, power by seizing the children of the
rest, forcibly converting them to
Islam and making out of tnem an eificient
standing army of Janizaries,
by whose valor and discipline the
Turkish wars of conquest were carried
on from the early fifteenth down
into the nineteenth century.
Robber Band.
"As a famous English historian
wrote, the Turks are nothing but a
robber band encamped in the countries
they have desolated. As Edmund
Burke wrote, the Turks are
savages with whom no civilized
Christian nation ought to form any
alliance.
"Turkish rule ought to be ended
in Europe, because, even in that small
part of it which the Sultan still holds,
it is alien power which has in that
region been and now is oppressing or
massacreeing, slaughtering or driving
from their homes, the Christian population
of Greek or Bulgarian stock.
It ought to be turned out of the
Western coast region of Asia Minor
for a like reason. The peoples there
are largely, perhaps, mostly Greekspeaking
Christians. So ought it to
be turned out of Constantinople, a
city of incomparable commercial and
political importance, with the guardianship
of which it is unfit to be
trusted. So ought it to be turned out
of Armenia and Cilicia and Syria,
where within the last two years it
has been destroying its Christian
subjects, the most peaceful and inon/1
int^iliprpnt r>art of the
UUOIIIUUO OfUU, x
population.
Best Place for Them.
"If the Turkish Sultanate is to be
left in being at all, it may with the
least injury to the world be suffered
to exist in Central and Northern Asia
Minor. There the population is
mainly Mussulman and there are
comparatively few Christians, and
those only in the cities, to suffer
from its misgovernment. Even
there one would be sorry for its subjects,
Mussulman as well as Christian,
but the weak Turkish state,
such as it would be then, could not
venture on the crimes of which it
has been guilty when it was comparatively
strong.
"That the faults of the Turkish
FIXLKY'S BODY HKSTS AT YORK.
Late Congressman Laid to Rest.
Many Attend Funeral.
York, Jan. 2S.?With simple and
impressive ceremonies the funeral of i
Congressman David Edward Finley
was held at 11 o'clock this morning i
from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church, the interment fol-|
lowing in Rosehill cemetery. There
was such an outpouring of people
to pay a last tribute of respect to
the lamented congressman as had
never been seen in the history of the
town. They came from every county
and every section of the Fifth district
and from more distant parts of
the State the numbers giving striking
evidence of the esteem and affection
in which Mr. Finley was held. A
special train from Rock Hill brought
more than 300 people from eastern
York, while another special train
from Chester brought a large contingent
from that city and intermediate
points.
The special train from Washington,
bearing the congressional delegation,
irrived here shortly before 11 o'clock,
being about two hours behind the
schedule on account of engine troubles.
The services in the church were
conducted by the Rev. J. L. Oates,
assisted by the Rev. T. T. Walsh and
the Rev. E. -E. Gillespie.
The Chester commandery of
Knights Templar, of which Mr. Finley
was a member, formed an honorary
escort.
Services were dispensed with at all
the churches this morning in order
that all might attend the funeral.
The family has received hundreds
of telegrams of condolence from Mr.
Finley's colleagues and other friends
in all parts of the country.
The delegation from Washington
left on the return trip at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.

Couple Held as Suspicious Until
Friends Identify Them.
Spartanburg, Jan. 25.?A case of
more than usual interest was brought
to the notice of the police yesterday,
when it became known that a man
was in the city and had been here
several days, with a woman who was
masquerading in man's clothing. The
people were watched by the police for
some time and at last were identified
as Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harrison, who
are known all over the State as prominent
newspaper workers. They have
been identified with some of the best
known newspapers in the State.
When carried to the court they told
the following story: Mr. Harrison
had been at work here in the city getting
material for a book he is to issue
in a few days to be called "The
Men of the Times in South Carolina."
Mrs. Harrison wanted to go with him
while he was getting up his work,
but he was down on his luck and
could not supply her clothes needed
to go with him. At Mrs. Harrison's
suggestion she cut off her hair and
dressed up in one of his suits?it was

him here. They were held as suspicious
characters at the city hall, but
friends who had known them elsewhere
identified them and they were
released.

government are incurable has been
most clearly shown by the fact that
the Young Turkish gang who gained
power when they had deposed Abdul
Hamid, have surpassed even that
monster of cruelty in their slaughter
of unoffending Armenians. The
committee of union and progress began
by promising equal rights to all
races and faiths.
Sample of Its Union.
"This was its 'union:' It proceeded
forthwith not only to expell the
Greek-speaking inhabitants of Western
Asia Minor and to exterminate
the Armenians, but to attempt to
Turkify the Albanians, Moslems as
well as Christians, ana to prescriDe
their language. This is what 'union'
has, in fact, meant. What 'progress'
has meant in the hands of ruffians
like Enver and Talaat, Prussianized
Moslems worse than the old Turkish
pashas, we have all seen within the
last three years.
"The Moslem peasant of Asia Minor
is an honest, kindly fellow when
not roused by fanaticism, but the
Turk as a governing power is irreclaimable
and the allied powers
would have been false to all the
principles of right and humanity for
which they are fighting if tne*- had
not proclaimed that no Turkisi. government
shall hereafter be permitted
to tyrannize over the subjects of another
faith."
