内容简介

Nation, and The Murderous Tyranny of the Turks, and on the pamphlet by Dr. Martin Niepage, called 3 The Horrors of Aleppo. In the first chapter I have based the short historical survey on the contribution of Mr. D. G. Hogarth to The Balkans (clarendon Press, The chapter called Thy Kingdom is Divided' is in no respect at all an official utterance, and merely represents the indi vidual opinions and surmises of the author. It has, however, the official basis that the Allies have pledged themselves to remove the power of the Turk from Constantinople, and to remove Out Of the power of the Turk the alien peoples who have too long already been subject to his murderous rule.

First, that once the Turks had exterminated the Armenians in
