Says Drive Out The Turks.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 27, 1913:
Europe Must Be Rid of Them at Any Cost, Says Dr. Wheeler.
    SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.— Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California and a close student of European politics, said this evening, in an address before the San Francisco Young Men's Christian Association, that the Turk must be driven from Europe at any cost.
    "If you cannot get arbitrators to do it, if you cannot get lawyers to do it, then let the sword be drawn, streaming blood red," he said.
    "It is a struggle for a liberty-loving people." he continued, "to free itself from the incubus of Turkish domination. In essence this war is a struggle of the freedom of the will as represented by European peoples and the fatalism of the Orient."
