It would, says an Eastern ex
change, seem abundantly clear, from
the news coining from. Syria and
th„- Lebanon, when considered to
gether with that available from Ar
menia, tbat Turkey, freed at last
from the restraint of those powers
which have always been most ac
tive in preventing tier excesses, i
determined to take full advantage of
her freedom. Some days ago we
drew attention to the shameful con
dition cf things in Armenia nad to
the unprecedented excesses which
were bejug committed in that
country by the TurkJ aud indeed on
all Armenians. wherever found,
throughout the Turkish empire.

has been and is being done which
elghleeu mouths ago would have
beeu considered imposiLile, the
treatment of the Armenians by the
Turks stands out as so Utterly
shameful as to maka claims tor
reJrtss ou common, humanity such
as cannot be denied. It has long
since ceased to be a question of
this power or that power, of bellig
erent^ or neutrals; it is a question
for humanity, neutral or belligerent,
opponents or friends. The claim is
equally imperative ou all. The po
sition in Syria, although it is not
so bad as in Armenia, is certainty
net much better. There is not, it
n..y be, the same refined cruelty,
the same evident effort to extermin
ate a ueoplo, but tyranny and out
rage of the worst description are
cer'iiitly the order of every day
and week that passes. Leading
rneu are imprisoned and executed,
or deported, never to be heard of
again, on the flimsiest charges, and
if by any chance a vali should
prove himself too lenient, iu the
opinion of the authorities at Con
stantinople, he is immediately re
placed by some one, generally a
hero of many "incidents," who can
be trusted to carry out, to the
full, the prescribed scheme of
terrorism. According to the latest
ue»s that has reached Europe from
Beirut, by way of Alexandria, the
notorious A2ml Bey, who wheu com
mandant of police at Constantinople
won a name for himself after a
fashion truly Turkish, has been ap
pointed vali of Beirut. Azml Bey
is a staunch committee man and
would seem to be developing to
their utmost the worst phases of
the committee's rule. Crowds of
destitute, penniless Jews are con
tinually arriving In Alexandria from ,
Syria and the Lebanon and their
story reveals that theie, as in
Armenia, Turkey is simply reverting
to barbarism which, in this case,
has not even the excuse that it is
calculated to accomplish, something.
"Bag and baggage," Gladstone said
fiercely, as he viewed Turkey in
the light of the Bulgarian, atrocities
of forty years ago, "taey must be
driven out of Europe bag and bag
gage." What Gladstone would
have said today as he looked out
on Armenia, Syria and the Lebanon,
is a thought which does not dis
pose to sitting still. Druses and
Christian alike, a recent dispatch
from Beirut declares, are very
literally at the end of what they
can bear.
What is to happen to Turkey af
ter the waT can only be discussed
alter the war, if the charge of fu
tility 3s to bo avoided. There are,
however, certain broad considera
tions which can be assumed as
granted. A condition liko that ob
taining in Turkey at present must
either be mended or ended. That
much is a platitude. For over
half a century, the powers have
been making efforts to mend Tur
key. They have, v§. y evidently,
not succccded so far. Turkey wouli
do well to remember the alterna
tive.
