    SPARE ARMENIANS, POPE ASKS SULTAN

    Following Report from Constantinople, Benedict XV. Writes to the Porte


    GERMAN RESENT BLAME
    The Cologne Gazette Says England is Trying to Divert Attention from "Invasion" of
    Greece
    OCTOBER 11, 1915
    ROME,Oct. 10.--Mgr. Dolci, the Apostolic Delegate at Constantinople, having report to
    the Holy See on the sufferings of the Armenians, Pope Benedict has written an autograph
    letter to the Sultan of Turkey interceding for the unfortunate people.
    BERLIN, Oct. 10, (by Wireless to Tuckerton, N. J.).--"The Cologne Gazette refers to the
    accusations of Lord Cromer and the Marquis of Crewe in the House of Lords that
    German Consular officials encouraged the Turkish population to attack Armenians," says
    the Overseas New Agency. "The newspaper states that the purpose of these unfounded
    assertions is easy to comprehend. England wishes to divert the attention of neutrals from
    the violation of Greek neutrality, and since the Belgian question is no longer novel
    enough, turns to new accusations."
