FIRST HUN HELD FOR ATROCITIES

  Sanders is first of the German com-
manders to be seized for trial for vio-
lation of the rules of warfare.  And
he’s going to be tried in Constantino-
ple, too. Sanders was in command of
the Turkish forces which were oper-
ating under direction of Berlin.  He
is known to have sanctioned Turkish
atrocities, including massacres of
Greeks and Armenians.
