More Turk Massacres May Follow German Cessions

AMSTERDAM, March 21.- Geo. Leadebour, Social Democrat leader, speaking in the German Reichstag Tuesday, and referring to the cessions of Caucasian districts to Turkey, is quoted by the Berlin Vorwaerts as saying that as a majority of the people are Armenian and Georgian in these districts they are now faced with the prospect of extermination by the Turks, who already have exterminated a million Christian Armenians in Turkish Armenia because of religious hatred.

“The German and Austrian governments,” continued Herr Leadebour, “can not therefore permit Turkish troops now to enter these territories. Let them be united to a new Caucasian federal state. It is a point of honor for the German government to prevent fresh Armenian massacres.”
