Railroad station shipping and numerous houses were damaged by allied raiders. for ARMEN]JANS FOUGHT OF OWN VOLITION " Dilman, Azebaijan, Persia, May 27.—Unlike the Belgians, the deci- mated Christians of Azerbaijan and Armenia fought of their own voli- tion. For a hundred years they have longed for the coming of the Russians. Volunteers were organ- ized by the Armenians boldly, by the Nestorians under home pressure. The latter supplied 150 drilled men at their own cost, and, if they may be believed, rendered good service. Three thousand rifles were issued to the villagers from Russian arsenals and thousands were employed in for- tifying Urmia. At Tabriz there was no massacre and little pillage, thanks to the en- ergy and diplomatic skill of Gordon Paddock, the American consul, and the flight of the Tabriz Christians on the Chaussee was comparatively un- eventful, Mr. Paddock delayed the entry of the Kurds, practically re- strained the Persian government from flight and was then able to hold the local Moslems in check. Finally he went to the bazar, where there were upwards of 5,000 shops, and stopped the pillacze. Gen. Cher- nozuboff and all the foreign colony at Tabriz unanimously agreed that Mr. Paddock’s services were invalu- able. The Kurds and Turks at Tabriz followed the Russians, whose retreat was stopped after the victory at Sarykamysh had halted the advance on Kars. Gen. Chernozuboff drove them with machine guns from a can- on, eight miles long, which forns the pass between Julfa and Tabriz, at the same time sending Gen. Ofrosi- moff around the mountains to fall upon the Turkish flank. This com- bined attack, skilfully planned and €xecuted, annihilated the invaders of Tabriz. About 1,200 to 1,600 Perished in irrigation ditches before the city. The butchery and devastation in Salmas were directed by Turkish of- flcers and carried out by Turkish sol- diers and local moslems. In addition fo unanimous local testimony, the Isulting phrases written in correct French on the walls of the desolated Roman Catholic mission at Hosrova, re conclusive.
