American Hoard within the luikirh Km
pire is an extremely delicate one. Svm
pathizing deeply on one side w ith all w ho
are sullering by reason ol ioverty, op
pressioii and misrule, they have yet liee
loyal to the government under which
thev have lived, and have never counte
nanced sedition or rebellion. It has
been their blessed privilege w bile preach
ing the gospel of Jesus Christ to aid the
poor, to protect, aa tar at oslhle, the
oppressed and to deliver from unjust of
licialt multitude who have been arrested
or imprisoned. It i not necessary for
our missionaries after these scores of
yi ars of devotion and devoted lalior for
the native race of Turkey to prove tlieir
sympathy with the sullering and op
pressed by joining other who, at a safe
distance from the accne of danger, are
passing vigorous resolutions in condem
nation of the wrongs inflicted, the
are doing thvir best amid no little tieril
to themselves in the interests of those
for whom they have long lalored; but
our readers can well understand that for
the sake lioth of the helpless and for the
hcMied It is Inexiiedient lor ut to pre
sent a full statement of all we hear and
lielieve. Some thimra we may nronerlv
say prior to the full investigation oi the
alleged atrocities, which we trust will
be made by the representatives of lioth
our government and of the Kuroieau
powers,
In the sassonn region, south ol
Moosh plain, there are, or were many
villages inhabited by Armenians. These
people were svstematically robUil of
their Hock by Kurds, and m the latter
part of the summer the Armenian pur
sued the robliera in tlieir endeavor tore-
cover their property. In the light w hi. li
resulted some ol the Kurds were killed
among w hom were some who were en
rolled us Turkish soldiers. When in'
formation was given that the Armenians
had killed some of the Sultan' troop
the charge of rels-llion waa made and or-
lc rt were sent to put down the insurrec
tion. The result waa these lawless and
uncontrolled soldier made indiscrimi
nate slaughter of the eople who bad
sought todefend their property. In the
horrible massacres which followed thou
sands were slain, some statetl.imO, others
10,000. The details of tins horrible alluir
are not obtainable even by those near
the scene. I hey w ill never lie obtained
unless fore gn government insist iiwm
a thorough investigation conducted hv
foreigner. The lioor iieople are in ter
ror, and do not tell the truth nnless
under protection. A document has been
prepared near the scene of the carnage
purporting to give the judgment of the
people that the thousands slain in lal
vorie met their just desert, and express
ing regrets that it had l-een thought lies!
to send Consul to investigate since
there has been no need for tlieir coining.
The value ol such document will be
understood when the method for sivur-
ing signature are known. Hut such in
vesications should he most vigorously
puihed, either t relieve the government
inuu unjust charges, if thestatmentsare
incorrect, or, if they should lie proven,
to bring alsjnt the conditioning punish
ment of the guilty parties."
