...months ago that the first stories were heard of Turkish atrocities committed in Armenia. Christendom was startled; but it was slow to awake to the terrible reality of the situation, to realize that Armenia is now and has long been the scene of horrible cruelty, savage ferocity, and brutal lust, such as is unsurpassed in the history of the relations of man to man.
