Premier Lloyd George vs. Northcliffe,
With a Forecast of the Future
By J. L. GARVIN, Editor London Obaervar
——_■ ■ ■ ■ —*1
The chief significance of the prime minister’s declaration in the
commons is that it marks him out as not only the nation’s leader of new
causes of peace and progress after Armageddon but probably the world’s
leader as well. We must remember what an incomparable advantage Brit
ish political conditions give in the long run to any man who achieves
personal supremacy.
Long after Wilson has ceased to be president of the United States
or Clemenceau to be French premier, Lloyd George in all likelihood will
not only play the same part as lie does now but will be more and more
recognized as the strongest statesman of his time.
If the league of nations is to be a living and working reality, if the
world is to be saved from war before the lapse of another decade, Lloyd
George, in our view, will have to do more than any other statesman to
develop the league and to avert calamity in democratic affairs.
It is about as certain as anything in the future can be that if North
cliffe continues the controversy on personal lines such controversy would
mean the end of Northcliffe as a proprietor of syndicated newspapers.
Legislation would be introduced and carried putting an end to multiple
proprietorship of the opinion-making powers of the press.
SAVAGERY OF
TURKS TOLD
BY A VICTIM
NEW YORK, June 18 (by Associated
Press). — One of the most pitiful
stories of savagery practiced by Turks
or Circassians upon the Armenians
deported during the war from their
homes into the country of the Arabs,
is told by Victoria Varshabdian, a girl
of eighteen years. Her story has been
made public here by the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief. The girl was the daughter of
a well-to-do merchant who had a shop
in Constantinople and another at
Nevsher, Turkey, where the family
lived.
In her narrative to a British phy
sician she said that her father and
four brothers were deported and that
her father died while on the journey,
from a blow inflicted by a gendarme.
Carrying their little fortune of 2000
pounds in gold they were marched
south to the vicinity of Deir-Es-Zor
(probably on the Euphrates river).
There they found a great congrega
tion of refugees, said to number 7,000
families.
While at Deir-Es-Zor, Murad or
Suvar, the girl said twenty American
priests were taken from among the
refugees bound together, sent away
and killed. In the river at Suvar she
saw one hundred bodies of men,
women and children some with their
heads off.
After collecting a ransom, the Mut
essarif ordered the men of the
refugees brought before him "to sign
a paper.” The next day she said she
saw the Circassians shoot down three
hundred of them. Then the Mutessarif,
Zeki Bey, ordered nine of the bodies
of the Armenians placed in the road
and drove his carriage over them. He
announced that he would kill all the
male refugees over two years old. Up
to that time her brother had escaped
death by bribery but he was taken
away with others and on leaving said
to his mother: "Mother, I am going to
die. Give me your hand and I will
kiss it. Forgive me anything I have
done wrong to you. Goodbye.” Her
brother was shot before Victoria’s
eyes.
She declared also that she saw
Armenians killed by driving wooden
stakes through them, that two were
buried alive by the Arabs and that
eventually the Circassians began to
kill all the women and children with
their knives. Her description ot this
massacre is too awful to be told tor
she gives details of the fiendish man
ner in which it was accomplished.
Afterward Victoria was separated
from her mother and sent to hte tent
of an Arab where she remained for
two weeks. In that period, she said,
she saw two hundred small boys from
Meskeneh brought through Deir'-Esi
Zor to Shadadleh and saw these chil
dren killed in various ways and
thrown or kicked into the river.
She escaped from the Arab’s tent,
was recaptured by the Arabs with two
other girls from Harput but later was
allowed to go her way. After a year
and a half she reached Aleppo where
her story was told. She has been in
formed that her mother and one
brother escaped from the Circassians
or Arabs.
