WASHINGTON — Responding to a pressing appeal from Mr. Morgenthau, United States Ambassador in Constantinople, an American committee has been organized on behalf of the Armenians. Among its members are such men as Mr. Charles R. Crane, Mr. Samuel T. Dutton and Mr. Oscar Straus. The committee has just published a report giving conclusive evidence in regard to the atrocities against the Armenians on the part of the Turks. Witnesses of these horrors hold the Germans largely responsible for them because of tacit assent. — The New York Herald, European Edition, November 5, 1915
