THE MASSLORE OF ARMENIANS,
Evidence of German Complicity.
Lobos, Oct. 7.
If the House of Lohls, asking for information regarding the Armenian afregities, Lol Cronur said that even though there was no trustworthy ocidences of direct German complicity, in view of Gor- many's present influence at Constantinople her "noral responsibility was postionable. He urged the ntinost publieity of the fasts in India, as he was convinced that despite a natural unwillingness to believe ill of #heir co-religiouists, the educated Mohannadarts of halia and Egypt would regard the massacres with the same horror, as onregives, and recognise that it would be au inault to the Mohammed religion to identify Isham with the present Government në Constantinople.
Lord, Crewe agreed that it would be advantageous to make the facts" kuwn to the world as far as they were officifly confirmed. The in- formation supplied from British Consular soureus was of blie HOND deplorable nature. In one district the populition was-absolutely exter- ibuted, and the 'exualition of the refugees in the Caucasus was ter- rible. They were dying at the ruts of a hundred daily despite splendid Llocal utforts to ruliere the inisory. A hundred and, sixty thousand-wers entered în one district alons in ons report, and unless further apeody relief was given half of this number would probably die. Lord Crewe. heartily agreed that such dreadful uxcosses wore not the less repugenit to the Mbilone of India, and enlightened Musnulman opinion elsewhere, rlum to ourselves. They were in owise authorised by the precepts of
GERMAN COMPLICITY IN THE ARMENIAN Island, and they would not be condoned by the judgment of Islam.
