ALIVE IN TRENCHES
NEW YORK, Burial alive of br
bies in trenches with the bodies of
their mothers who had been slaupht
«red or allowed to perish from ex
posure, was practiced by the Turks
in their work of exterminating the
Armenians, it was declared here to
day by the Kev. Henry H. Riggs
missionary of the American Board
of Commissioness for Foreign Mis
sions to llarput, Turkey, who re
cently came back to this country.
A trench was dug beside a camp
of Armenian women, he said, and
as they met decith the survivors
were forced to drag their bodies to
it and bury them.
The gendarmes said they could
not take care of the babies that
were left behind, so many of those
were buried with their mothers.
About fifteen miles from Harput
is a lake hidden from sight with
many ravines about. We are told
that the Arminian exiles were being
killed and left in these ravines.
Two Americans investigated and
brought back photographs and ac
tual facts. They saw iu a twenty
mile ride 10,000 human bodies.
most of them killed by the bayonet.
Witli a few exceptions they were
women and children and the mang
led condition of their bodies showed
the horrible fate that has been
theirs.
All prominent Armenians were
arrested and deported to go to
Mesopatamia. They were sent out
on the road tied together in groups
of two to five, driven and beaten
by the genarmes. Of the first party
of 800, otic young man surviod to
tell the story of what happened.
The party was taken into a ravine

Then tho gendarmes climbed up |
on the surrounding rocks and fired j
with their rifles into the crowd of i
bound prisoners as long as they j
showed signs of life.
The man who told the story sue- |j

himself loose. As he made his dash J
for liberty he was followed by a j
volley of shoots but got »away un- j
scathed. All the other men of that |

COCERCION OF THOUGHT
DENOUNCED BY HOLM
NEW YORK, Dec. 0 — When a
democratic government tries lo
change the opinions and convictions
of an individual by force it 1>
comes a persecutor”, said Pr. John
Haynes Holmes pastor of the church
ot the Messiah, last night.
Dr. liolmeo defined the concienli
ous objector, and gave his views
as to hew • the objector should be
handled by a democratic govern
ment.
He deprecated the use of force
by the authorities in their effort to
ocean the objector from his convic
tions and opinions.
The conception of the state in
which the founders of the nation
believed, he said, was that it exists
for the individual, and not that the
individual exists for the. state, the
German conception. Therefore, he
reasoned, ihe individual lias the
right t(» change the opinion ol the
state, but the state has no justifi
able power to exercise force in an
attempt to change the opinions of
an individual.
In the trenches the conscientious
objector will lie of little use, but
out of ihe trenches the conscienti
ous objector will be a living wit
ness to the democratic principles of
the nation. This government should
exempt all men who can prove the
sincerity of their faith, and it
should immediately provide for tri
bunals at which the conscientious
objector who is not a member of a
recognized sect may prove the sin
cerity of his convictions.
Dr. Holmes expressed the hope
that at this session of Congress the
conscription law regarding consci

selves conscientious objectors, but
1 am discussing conscientious ob
jectors-—not cowards. The con
scientious objector has the moral
conviction not to do that thing
which he considers wrong. The
conscientious objector is a man who!
insists on living out his convictions]
He feels the absolute moral sway
of that conviction and will abide
by it, no matter where it leads
him. The seat of authority is with
in himself. He cannot prove the
justness of his convictions by point
ing to the old testament not to the
new testament, hut only by pointing
to the convictions of his own
soul.
These men are not cowards.
