WHAT A GERMAN PAPER THINKS OF AMERICA.
October 9, 3.40 p.m. According to Reuter's correspondent at Amsterdam, the Kod- nische Volkszeitung, commenting on the American protest to Turkey against the massacres of Armenians says it is presumption on the part of the United States to give itself airs as the guardian of humanity in a matter not concerning it. The United States would do better to soratinise its supplies of arms to the Eutecte which was incompati ble with humanity.
KILLED WHILE DOING A GALLANT ACT.
October 9, 2.45 p.m. It appears that Lord Ninian Crichton Stuart M.P. was killed while trying to save Major Browning who is reported missing. The Ger- mana had recaptured a section of the treach in which Major Brown- ing was last seen in a dag-ont.
