A -- \ Syracuse, N.Y., Aug. 31.--The fol-. lowing despatch upon the new out burst 'of Moslem fanaticisin comes from a source which the Post-Si{an- dard considers absolutely reliable, For the best of reasons the Post-| Standard feels under obligation ta to keep secret its news source, "The atrdeities now committed in Turkey surpass anything that has ever preceded even in the palmiest days of Abdul the Arch Assassin They are carefully planned and dia- bolically executed, and include to ture vo! the most revolting types, murder by the whosesale and a ven- | omous method of deportation that | separates families and sends large) numbers of the victims to inev'table! death. "In one prosperous ily twelve of the leading Armenian men were taken out upon the road under the great pretense of deportation. In a few hours the guards returned glone. A few days later 300 more men fol-| lowed the same path to death. This method is being duplicated every-| where in the interior of Turkey. 1 'Women and children, old men | and invalids are driven from their | homes at the point of the bayonet and seut along different routes cov- ering many days, even weeks of trav- el, No preparations for the journey | their born upon the road are strangled by| the mother, who is forbidden to lag! behind the caravan of death.

Mr. Alden points out that Sir Edwin, ever since 1873, when he | settled in Constantinople, has been {in close touch with Turkey and the Balkans. As president of the Euro- | pean bar in that city as far back as | 1881, and as a newspaper correspon- | dent who called attention to the Mos- | lem atrocities in Bulgaria, he may be trusted, says the interviewer, to give {a calm and unprejudiced opinion as | to the events that are taking place in i Constantinople, Athens, Belgrade, | Sofia and Bucharest. Among other things Sir Edwin said: "If Bulgaria can only secure the promise from Serbia and the Allied Powers that Macedonia will be re- turned to her, my own impression is that, despite King Ferdinand, whe is | known to have Austrian leanings, she will come in. If she enters the are- na Greece will follow." When asked whether K and's opposition to war with Turkey would make Bulgarian intervention impossible, Sir Edwin replied: "Ferdinand is a born diplomat. He began life as an Austrian officer and Dossesses vast estates in Hungary.

We stand, or rather shall shortly | stand, at the parting of the ways. On the one hand lies a road to pros: | perity and Bmpire--& road we are opening at a sacrifice in blood and trea- sure, the like of which the world has never seen--on the other, the re- sumption of a policy of drift and apathy, which would again permit the | Teutonic leprosy to threaten our very existence. ag | Thirty years ago we were miles ahead of all our competitors in manufacturing, in trade, in finance, and in labour, but what have we done 'to maintain that premier position among the great nations? We have, alas, permitted foreigners, particularly 'Germans, to dump their goods at the very gates of ofr gréat works, while our own men have starved or- emigrated. We have, to our lasting disgrace, readily purchased Ger- man products to the detriment of our own industries. We have driven our capital 'and labour abroad in enormous volumes, ana have left our ships to compete, unaided, against the subsidized vessels of other coun- tries. We have seen the German merchant service grow within thirty "years from less than 500,000 to mere than 5,000,000 tons, and, relying on German manifestations of peaceful Intent, we actually began, a few 'years ago, to tut down our naval expenditure in fact, so reduvea our ship- | building programme that, in 1908, we launched only 49,00v tons uf new battlesh.ps against Germany's 87,000 tons! ! "MADE IN GERMANY" "THE MARK OF THE BEAST. As tariff reform has been made a party instead of a national ques- tion. and as the policy of the Anti-Germah League is strictly non-party, tariff reform does not enter inte our programme, except in so far as Ger- man and Austrian goods are concerned, but we_intend to legisidte for a protective and, if necessary, a prohibitive tariff on these with all the, strength at our command, and with every sinew and muscle in our com- position, y Engraved in blood and tears, {he war's grim lessons should last as. long as our land endures.

Bought by German gold, and sent over here to obtain infor- mation at any cost, they tamper with our employees, steal our ideas. copy our patents and processes, imitate our machinery, and forge our trade marks; in fact, the German standard of commercial morality is oly equalled by their respect for sacred treaties, international conventions. and other "scraps of paper," evepy one of which théy have proken during the present conflict. ~ : \ : We have no Hymn of Hate, and no Kultur, or, at any rate; a Kultur which necessitates the cutting off of women's breasts, but in commerce, as in war, self-presetvation is the first law of nature, and our commercial prestige is at stake. There can be mo possible shadow of a doubt that, after the war, the Germans will come to us on their bended knees with such an accumulation of goods and at such a price that, but for a protec- tive tariff, it' will mean the absolute disorganization of our markets and the wrecking of many of our home industries. Therefors, ymmediats and concerted action is'absolutely imperative, THE ALIEN MENACE. On the declaration of war a farcical attempt was made at internment, but the German waiter (a. born eavesdropper, subsidized by Satan the Second) was soon back again; thie German hairdresser (alwiys & spy) éon- tinued to flourish onthe money paid him by British ) Germans enlisted and were caught in our army, and for some consider- able time Germans were actually employed in our postal and telegraph service! It must be quite evident that the British Government do not understand German methods of war, otherwise they would aot have toler- ated so many thousands of our bitterest enemies living in our meds. The Germans have committed crimes against all human forgiveness. From the ruined homesteads of stricken Belgiuti--from the blood. drenched plains of Northern France, their guilt cries aloud to eaven for vengeance, and there can be no readmission for thém to the free common: h of Europe.

SECOND SECTION ANS ~~ Roumania and Bulgaria But Not With | Democracy. dwin Pears is Confidest That Bulgaria and Greece the Side of the Allies ---The Stand of Rouma- nia. -- ° Bulgarian politics, is almost entirely if his hands Nevertheless, Bulgar- ia is democratic in name, and may become #! a crisis like this democra- . | tic in reality. The King regards Bulgaria as the pressure of the Bal: kans. I think it would be a mis- take to attach much importance to the influence possessed by royal fam- ilies, but that influence must not be underestimated. At this moment in Roumania, Bulgaria, ireece and Sweden are strong pro-German ele- ments in the court. The democracy, however, for the most part takes a different view, and I am sure that the Bulgarians, but for their charg- rin over the second Balkan war, would long ago have entered on our side." , In regard to Greece, Sir Edwin said: "The Queen, who is a sister of the Kaiser, as you are aware, has great influence with King Constantine, and {it is she who quite recently brought | Greece within a measurable distance of a revolution. The concern of | Venizelos to-day is rather how far he {¢an rely on the army, which is not inclined to take any great risks. Veni- zelos is in favor of conciliating: Bul- garia and for an adequate compen- sation he would perhaps surrender Kavalla, although in his election agl- dresses he said he would never ¥ur- render an inch of Grecian territory. If Greece had come in at first she would have had the whole Province of Aidin, Smyrna as its capital, and even now the abominable outrages committed by the Turks on the Greeks make it certain that the sue- cess of the Allies, To "the 'event of 3 supporting them, would mean a very large extension of Greece's ter ritory in Asia Miner." : The interviewer asked Sir Edwin if the fear of Russia was likely to have any effect on the attitude of Roumania. "He replied: * "The recent reverses of Russia make that less probable. The pres- ent King of Roumania is a Hohenzol: . lern, and naturally looks toward Ger- many, as did King Curlo before him. But this in itself would not be sufi. cient to keep Roumania neutral. Like Bulgaria, she. is somewhat afraid that the success 'of Russia would mean the occupation of Constantin- ople, and as a tonsequénce the turn- ing of the Balkan states into Rus- sian provinces. The danger from their point of view ig not so great as it was, and the German Alliance with Turkey comipels them to favor Russia rather than the Teutonic powers of Central Europe. Rouma- nia's populace is wealthy and power- ful, and I am not without hope that before long her relations both with Bulgaria and Russia may make it possible for her to play a part in this great war." tes p-- CONSUMPTION DROPS United States Revenue Falls Off $25,900,201. Washington, Aug. 31.--A consid- erable falling off in the consumption of tobacco and liquors in the twelve months ending June 30th indicated by the preliminary report of Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Osborn for the fiscal year made puotc here to-night. The commissioner reported that the ordinary internal revenue collec- tions from those sources was $25.- 906,291 less than for the preceding Revenue experts ex- plained that the decrease was par: tially due to the tendency of the Ame- : rican people to economize by cutting ' down on their smoking nd drinking in. the period of uncertainty which followed the outbreak of the Euro- pean war. : The decrease in liquor tax receipts in the so-called ordinary collections were responsible' for the larger part of the. «decreases.
