THE MIDDLE EAST.
JBy Cabl*.—Press Association.—Copyright) (neuter's Telegrams.) MOSCOW, July 2. The Germans have hurriedly carried out a scheme for dismembering the Caucasus. The scheme includes an independent Armenia, the Te-establish-ment of an independent Georgia, and the establishment of a' new • State, including Baku and part of the Elisabetpol district. LONDON. July 2. Renter's Agency learns that a pathetic appeal on behalf of the Armenians is to be made to the British Labour Conference. The appeal reveals the appalling state of affairs, and says: —"None of the fearful horrors perpetrated in the various war zones compare •with the tragic lot of the Armenians. The Turks since the beginning of the ■war have committed unprecedented atrocities in Turkish Armenia, where they massacred about a million persons, ■while two million Armenians in Russian Armenia are now threatened with a similar fate. Democracy is asked to assist to save this small ancient people from complete extermination."
