Refugees from Targawar, Margawar, Salmas and Koy, the surrounding districts, and from the cities of Maraga and Tabriz crowd- ed in and were sheltered in the best possible manner by the Christians there. The mission was only able to take care of twenty.five thousand, most of whom are still under its pro- tection. On top of the confusion created by the arriyval of the refugees, came the sudden announcement on January 8} that the Turks were approaching the city and would arrive in a few hours. All the people who could, fled in ter- ror toward the boundary, four hun- dred miles away. = It was “a horse, my kingdom for a horse,” with every- | one. A wagon brought $200, a horse | $100—big prices in Assyria. | Traveled Day and Night. ! The road to the border went through Mohammedan territory and the Chris- tians were not permitted to enter the villages. The flight was continued‘ night and day, hundreds falling ex-| hausted. A Russian bishop who ac- companied the refugees worked fever- ishly on the work of giving the peo. ple Christian burial. On the tenth day the first of the refugees arrived in Gulpha, the first city across the Russian border. From this city a day’s journey farther north, where is located an- other mission. Gradually the refu- | gees arrived and heroic efforts were made to care for them. Every mem- ber of the committee in charge of the refugees is known by Rev. Adams, and includes the following persons: Dr Isréiel, Rev. Pera Mirza, Rev. Isaac Malick, Rev. Isaac Johannen, aul Simon, a merchant; Lazar Elia, a tai- lor; Lazar Pera, a banker and jeweler; Ablahat Samuel, a merchant; Simon Ganga, a merchant; Rev..Yonan Ab- ram, ‘Benjamin Arsanis, an attorney, Dr. Ishoo Jacob. Little was left of the homes of the Christians_in Urumiah after thelr flight. As soon'as they left, the Mo. hammedans from adjuining villages, swarmed in to plunder and . burn. Only the mission was absolutely safe. Assyrians Hysterical, The reading of the letter at ladt night's meeting brougnt forth a storm of weeping, protest, and denunciation. { A comforting talk by Rev. Adam calmed the people. Assyrians of all denominations, including Catholic and orthpdox Russians, joined in the gen- eral sorrow,.crying out as a nation | the Turks | and the suffering inflicted on their countrymen. Half of the people in the mission here have relatives among the refugees and are greatly concerned about their fate. The organization of a committee to | gather funds for the relief of the ref- ugees is in hands of Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill, the pastor of the South Congre- gational church. The Assyrians them- selves have done a little, but they are unable to raise large sums among their number. A cablegram from Dr. Vande Vanneman, of Tabriz, says that $6,000 has been received in that city and $10,000 spent for relief. “Relief needed for several months,” says the cablegram, .der's Potatoes.” | visory | llet association.

Turn Verein, has the distinction of being the recipient of a letter from ! the Archduke of Dessau in Germany. | In it, he and the local German people | in general are thanked gor their in- terest in the activities of the Father- land. Several weeks ago, Mr. Yater wrote a letter to his cousin, Herman Dietz, formerly a local resident, but now head coachman for the Archduke of Dessau, asking him for a true account of the conditions in Germany. Mr. Dietz showed the missive to his su- perior and the latter was so pleased to learn of the sympathies of the Ger- | man-American people, that he under- took to answer the letter himeelf. The letter was written on Iebruary 4 and that time, the archduke writes, | ‘“the Germans had over a million pris- oners, which fact afone chould give | the people of America an idea as to whether the Fatherluna was suffering defeat.” The letter is couched in per- fect language and Mr. Vater values it highly. recited early next week, The French club met yesterday af- ternoon.
