Under these conditions it is expected ".ti the Allies will agree to the Ger? man request for permission to fight thf :58rtacists. In return the Germans will first guarany to evacuate the jr.try within a given time; second >y ?-.ill submit to some kind of Allied ??-<??!. and, third, they will give a '?ouaterai guaranty which will be for? ced in case they fail to carry out lie conditions.

Turks Get Tartars to Kill 17,000 Armenians Massacres Since Armistice Laid to Failure to Define Azer? baijan Boundaries LONDON, March 25.?Tarsars recent ly massacred 17.000 Armenians within the boundaries of theN new Armenian state at the instigation of the Young Turks in the Azerbaijan government, according to Archbishop Kholn, an Armenian from Erivan, who has ar? rived in London to confer on behalf of the Armenian Republic with Allied au-~ ike.rities regarding the situation in Armenia. Three thousand persons are being .herded in Tartar villages, and portions of the Armenian frontier aro being held by the Tartars, according to the Arch? bishop. He says that in December the Tartars murdered 14.000 Armenians at Akoulis, in Azerbaijan, on the pretext that Tartars had been massacred in Armenian territory. The Archbishop said also that many massacres since the armistice were declared to have been due to the fact that the frontiers be? tween Armenia and Azerbaijan were not clearly defined. ?-.
