She got to Urfa, but they would not let her in and later she managed to get in and then they would not let her out. “The only reason 1 finally got out was becauze of some educated Turks in the town,” declared Mrs. Falk. She went around the town unarmed and alone and once she was stoned. Grabbing a boy who was in the ston- ing party, she said she gave him a “good spanking,” and she was wor- ried no more. She then proceeded to a place where the British had gathered in as many Christian children as they could, a to & French outpost, and they were ferried across. They finally arrived at a home in Syria. S Mrs Kalk declared “that she was treated well by the educated Turks. She traveled back to America by way of Japan, India and other countries.
