This is why the Allies’ aims are drastic, but it is also why they _find
no difficulty in stating them in the full light of day_. Germany, who
has not, like the Allies, met President Wilson’s request because she is
ashamed of her aims and dare not face the reception they would have among
all the free democratic peoples of the civilised world, will doubtless
take what advantage she can of the Allies’ franker and more honourable
rejoinder. In anticipation of such insidious manœuvres, the _Murderous
Tyranny of the Turks_, both during the War and for centuries before it,
has been set forth here for the judgment of the reader.
