One Turkish official has at last been punished for complicity

in the Armenian massacres. This was Kiamil Mahmud Pasha, a former Governor of Yozghad, who was tried, sentenced to death, and hanged last week at Constantinople. Halil Pasha, the Turkish General who is held to be responsible for the brutal mishandling of the gallant British and Indian troops who sur- rendered at Kut, has been arrested near Constantinople. The arch-offenders, Enver and Djavid, seem, however, to have made good their escape.
