Yet everywhere in diplomatic circles
there seemed to be a conviction that
the American Ambassador was respon
sible for the wide publicity which the
Armenian massacres) were receiving; in
Europe and fhe United States. I have
no hesitation in sayir. that they were
right about this. In December my son,
Henry Morgentnau. Jr. paid a visit to
the Uallipoli peninsula, where he was
entertained by General Liman von
Sanders and other German officers.
He had hardly stepped into German

The second time, after discoursing
vaguely on several topics, he came di

closely up to me and began to talk in
the most friendly and confidential

perate fighting all along the line. The
American position now runs through
the clearing between the Belleu wood
and the Etraye wood. The enemy s
determination to hold the high ground
east of the river is shown by the facl
that he has thrown in one of his last
remaining reserve divisions to check
the American advance in the Belleu
wood, where the enemy is counter at
tacking persistently.
Meuse Crossing Feared.
The following document has been
captured:
"The enemy's crossing of the Meuse
Is to be prevented absolutely. Should
- he succeed in crossing he is to be
thrown back into the Meuse at once.
The enemy must not get a foothold
on this side of the Meuse under any
circumstances.
The last three words are capitalized
Not only In a defensive way, but by
counter attacks the Germans are fight
ing desperately to carry out this order.
This Is shown by the futile attacks
made Friday In the region south of
Bantheville wood, north of Rappes
wood and in the valley north of Ban
theville.
WASHINGTON. Oct 2. Heavy fight-

in General Pershing's communication
for Friday. Strong German counter

were repulsed except in the Belleu

and I have never seen him since. When

Wangenheim returned to Constantl-
responsible for these massacres in the
sense that she instigated them. But
she is responsible in the sense that she
had power to stop them and did not use
it. And it is not only America and
your present enemies that will hold you
responsible. The German people will
themselves some day call you to ac
count. Crimes like these cry to heaven.
Do you think I could know about things
like this and not report them to my
government?"
Bis- Problem Winning- War.
jui mat. you say may be true, re
plied the German Ambassador, "but the
big problem that confronts us is to
m tins war. Turkey has settled with
her foreign enemies; she has done that
at the Dardanelles and at GalliDoli. She
is now trying to settle her internal
affairs. Talaat has told me that he is
aetermined to complete this task be
fore peace is declared. '
"The Armenians, anyway, are a very
pour iou iou come In contact in Con
stantinople with Armenians of the edu
cated classes, and you get your impres
sions about them from these men, but
all the Armenians are not of that type.
Yet I admit that they have been treated
terribly. I sent a man to make investi
gations and be reported that the worst
outrages have not been committed by
Turkish officials, but by brigands."
Wangenheim again suggested that
the Armenians be taken to the United
States and once more I gave him the
reasons why this would be impossible.
Human Problem Ignored.
"Never mind all these considerations."
I said. "Let us disregard everything,
military necessity, state policy and all
else, and let us look upon this simply
as a human problem. Remember that
most of the people who are being treat
ed in this way are old men, old women
and helpless children. Why can't you,
as a human being, see that these peo
ple are permitted to live?"
"At the present stage of Internal af
fairs in Turkey," Wangenheim replied,
"I shall not intervene."
I saw that it was useless to discuss
me maiier lurtner. He was a man
devoid of sympathy and human pity and
I turned from him in disgust. Wangen
heim rose to leave. As he did so he
gave a gasp, and his legs suddenly shot
from under him. I jumped and caught
him just as he was falling. For a min
ute he seemed utterly dazed: he looked
at me In a bewildered way, then sud
denly collected himself and regained
his poise. I piloted him downstairs and
put him into his auto. Two days after
ward he had a stroke of apoplexy. On
October 24 I was officially informed
that Wangenheim was dead. And thus.
my last recollection of Wangenheim is
that of the Ambassador absolutely re-
tusing to exert any influence to pre
vent the massacre of a nation. He was
the one man, and his government was
the one government, that could have
stopped these crimes, but, as Wangen
heim told me many times, "our one
aim is to win this war."
Wangenheim fa Bnrled.
A few days afterward official Tur
key and the diplomatic force paid their
last tribute to this finished embodiment
of the Prussian system. The funeral
was held in the garden of the German
embassy at Pera. The inclosure was to reports reaching here today.

Extremely Difficult Position Is Won
Despite Desperate Character
of Foe's Resistance.
WASHINGTON'. Oct. 2. Violent
fighting continued today on the line
where the Italians with the British
co-operating launched a new offensive
against the Austrians yesterday. A
Rome dispatch to the Italian Embassy
eays the fourth army has frustrated
attempts of the enemy to reconquer
territory lost yesterday and has en
larged its gains.
The message also said that Italian
troops continued to advance along the
lower Mati in Albania and that the
Albania tribesmen are taking up arms
against the Austrians and fighting un
der Italian colors.
More Prisoners Captured.
Of the fighting on the Italian f.nt.
the dispatch adds:
"During the last 24 hours 47 officers
and 2102 men have been captured. The
shock troops of the Penzaro brigade
are especially responsible for the Ital
ian success in the Grappa region.
"Monte Pertica has been conquered
by the troops of the 180th and 230th
regiments. The conquest of this ex
tremely difficult position has been pos
sible only as a result of the valor of
these troops, who have beaten the des
perate resistance of the enemy.
The Aosta origade has conquered
Mount Valderoa by a storming action.
The enemy has been beaten all over the
front in every attempt of counter attack.
Considerable aerial activity had
been displayed by our aviators. Over
2700 tons of explosivec have been
dropped, over the enemy positions be
hind the lines. Numerous fires have
been noticed as a consequence of these
bombing expeditions. Fires have been
observed also at San Giovanni di
Medua."
ROME, Oct. 26. In the successful as
saults against the Austrians along the
Piave and west of that river, the Ital
ians have captured more than 2000
prisoners in the last 24 houfs, the War
Office announced today.
Italians Maintain Positions
Heavy fighting continued all day
Friday in the Monte Grappa region, but
the Italian fourth army maintained its
positions and extended them at some
points.
The strong position of Monte Pertica,
northwest of Monte Grappa, was car
ried by the Piaso brigade and detach
