Show I ON THE EYE OF r A POPULAR AGITATION Northern Germany Worked Itp Over the Sultan GREAT INTEREST IS SHOWN LARGE MASS MEETING HELD IX HAMBURG Recent Uprisings in Constantinople and Anivtolist

time since the Armenian massacres occurred northern Germany appears to b on the eve of a popular agitation against the sultan The initiative in this movement comes from the Christian societies of Germany Ger-many which have relations in various parts of Turkey similar to those possessed by the Englishspeaking Christian bodies operating in Anatolia and other portions of the sultans domain Although this agitation tation did not originate political circles or other influential quarters there 1 not the slightest doubt that the movement has attracted great sympathy and that it is finding a response throughout the country coun-try that will ensure its success A meting met-ing of protest was held here on Wednesday Wednes-day under the auspices of the Berlin Christian Knowledge society but it was not of much account as showing the popular popu-lar interest in the ANTITURKISH AGITATION A large mass meeting was held in Hamburg Ham-burg on Thursday however and on the same day a conference of the German clergy was held at Brunswick and those gatherings were of undoubted importance and weight A continuation of mass meeting meet-ing similar to the one held in Hamburg will be arranged for in all the populous centers of Germany all to be conducted upon the same general line The speakers at the Hamburg and Brunswick meetings have carefully avoided dealing with the political aspect of the Turkish question and have limited their remarks to denunciations ciations of the Turkish atrocities and to making appeals for their cessation makng appes ceston yet the North German Gazette employs its semiofficial position to attack the anti Turkish agitation as an illtimed and injudicious agkton a a itme judicious movement In an article which is understood to have emanated not from any German official source but on the contrary from the Turkish embassy the Gazette traces THE RECENT UPRISINGS in Constantinople and Anatolia to Armenian Armen-ian nihilists The Armenians the article continues had designed to blow up the Greek churches in Constantinople with the object of causing a collision between the Greeks and Turks which would have caused a general massacre of Christians I was not the porte the article adds that caused the massacre in Armenia but the Christian propaganda in Asa ilinor where their cry Down with Islam Incited the war of the crescent against the cross The Gazette argues that European diplomats diplo-mats are keeping a sensible degree of reserve re-serve and will interfere as little a possible pos-sible because know that becuse they although the ironclads of the powers might shell the Turkish ports and thus force the sultan to accept the reforms suggested in his empire they could not hinder the Moslems from exacting a terrible revenge in the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Christians The Vossische ZeLtung makes a vigorous attack upon the Gazettes article which it characterizes a a menace The Vos sische Zeltung holds that the European nations will see in such an attack no reason for ceasing t declare their loath Ing of the Turkish outrages or to stop their preparations to prevent them The military maneuvres which have been held at Goerlitz
