ARMENIA.
A TURKISH SHAMBLES. ", 800,000 EXTERMINATED. London, Oct. 9. Lord Sromer, in the House of Lords, asked whether the Government had official information that German Consular officials were privy to the massacre of Armenians. He added that one of th« ot>jocts of the war was that Armenia should no longer constitute a Turkish shambles. Turkey had made government by massacre part of her political system. Lord Crewe, in reply, said the Government had received information that the population in one district had been absolutely exterminated. He had no official confirmation of the statement that German Consuls had encouraged the horrors, but he was bound to state, knowing what had happened elsewhere, that there could not be said to be any antecedent improbability that such was the ease. Lord ISryce said that from figures he had received it was quite possible that «00,000 had been destroyed since Hay. The only chance to save the remnant was by neutrals exerting their influence on Germany.
