THE TROUBLESOME UP K.

LONDON, March 11..

In the House of Lords, Lord Bryce, dealing with the massacres in Cilicia urged that the frontiers of new Turkey should not approach the frontiers of Persia and Mesopotamia. He moved that immediate steps were needed to secure the safety of Christians in Cilicia and Armenia and to end Turkish rule there. He declared it was very unfortunate that the Government's intentions with regard to Constantinople were communicated to the Viceroy of India before Parliament, was informed and that the con- cession to Turkey was made in such a way that it could be represented as a surrender to agitation in India. This had greatly harmed British prestige in India and the effect in Turkey was disastrous. The Turks would attribute the concession to timidity. He urged the despatch of troops and warships to Asia Minor.
