GERMANY SAYS SHE CANNOT STOP TURKS

Made Representations About Armenian Massacres, But Found Officials
Uninterested.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. - Confidential devices received today by the State

Department said the German Government had officially made efforts to
alleviate
alleged atrocities upon Armenians in Turkey, but that Turkish officials
apparently displayed lack of interest in such endeavors.

The representations were made by the United States through Ambassador

Morgenthau
at Constantinople some time ago, warning Turkey that continued
persecution of
Armenians would alienate the friendship of the American people. A
number of
dispatches on the subject have been received from Mr. Morgenthau but
there has
been no announcement of a definite answer from the Ottoman government.
