On April 15 the Armenians appealed to the German Ambassador in Constantinople for formal German protection. This was rejected by Berlin on the grounds that it would offend the Turkish Government. By April 19 more than 50,000 Armenians had been murdered in the Van province.

In 1914 and 1915 the U.S. began experimenting with a slightly wider perforation to keep stamps from separating from the sheets in the post office drawers. The perforation change from 12 to 10 was gradually implemented until nearly all U.S. postage stamps were available in the perf 10 format. This included the Special Delivery and Postage Due stamps as well as the ordinary issue, the perf 10 Washington Franklins. It is interesting to note that the air mail stamps did not arrive until 1918 and were never printed perf 10. The Pan Pacific Exposition stamps hold the distinction of being the only flat plate U.S. commemorative stamps to have more than one type of perforation.
