Turkey Proceeded to Attend to the
Armenians
By W illiam H ow amp T aft
Now why the need of money for the Arme
nians? You know lheir story ? Abdul Ham: . was
the Sultan of Turkey. He was the sarrtairnlrd
individual who in 1896 deliberately directed the
killing of ioo,uoo Armc:naris Who arc the Ar
menians? They arc one of the ol lest Christian
peoples tn the world. They lived in a province that
lies north of Mesopotamia, cal of Asia Minor,
west of Persia and south of the Ti.i k Sea. It is
a province of mountains and valleys not only
rub but fertile. I,8ou,000 Armenians lived in that
country, cultivating the valleys and made them
“blossom as the rose”. The Tutks hated them be
cause they were Christians; hated them because
they were industrious, and enjoyed the prosperity
that comes from industry.
Later when Turkey entered the great Euro
pean war as the ally of Germany, she invited
German officers into her army. Her army was
shortly officered by German officers, who directed
that army to go into Armenia and depart ijioo,-
ooo Armenians, which they did. tmo.ouo escaped.
The other f,aa>.<x® were driven by that army
to the desert of Mesopotamia and byria, and in
the drive the army deliberately killed men, women
and children, by rifle ball, by bayonet, by knife,
by driving them over precipices, by driving them
into deep running rivers—-600,000 m- n, women
and children I llalf of them were deported to
Asia and half to Mesopotamia. Out of those de
ported nearly 400,000 died of starvation.
Then Germany turned the Cau asus over to
Turkey; Turkey proceeded to attend to th« Ar
menians—in that kindly, fatherly way! That is
the story I
A friend of mine who was on the bonier of
Persia told me that he had gone to a German
officer and said “For God’s sake, can’t you stop
the butchery of these men, women and children ?”
and the German officer clicked his heels together
and said “Stand back, the time for mercy has
passed**.
This is the story of that unfortunate people.
The Syrians. Greeks and Jews in Western Asia
have suffered the same kind of barbaric treat
ment. The Armenian and Syrian Relief has been
organised for some years to care for these unfor
túnate, sorely distressed prop]»
tunate,
people. It has received
and most efficiently expended more than $12,-
000,000. Each cent that you give will go for
actual relief. Feeble, helpless, starving millions
erv for food. I urge you to give generously of
your bounty.
