When the local government officials learned that Moslems had the little ones they issued an order that whoevcr har- bored any Armenian would be visited with the treatment dealt to the Ar- ' menians. “The Moslems therefore, secretly turned the little ones over to Christian families who clandestinely cared for them until their resources were ex- hausted. And now the latest infor- mation from Mardin is that unless funds are immediately forthcoming the thousand orphans must be turned out upon the streets to starve. “Help must be regular and con- tinuous. The Committee for Ar- menian and Syrian Relief has decided that §5 a month per child will be necessary. That is about 17 cents a day. Who will add one more child to his family and reckon the 17 cents along with what he is spending daily on his other children and at the end of each month send the $5 to the committeée!” Dr. Andrus himself narrowly es- caped execution at the hands of the Turks because of his work at Mardin in succoring the suffering. He was ordered to be court martialed, which the defendant’s head.” The Armenian Embassy, however, heard of the or- under the conditions, he said, meant a | “mock trial and the cutting off of | der and interfered so that it was re- | scinded and a decree of exile issued ! 1 against the ‘city.

The Hague, Sept. 27.—Correspond- ence—At the recent conference held here by British and German dele- gates to discuss the question of treat- | ment and exchange of prisoners, the Germans entered the conference room from a door on one side of the ropm and the English from a door on the opposite side. The Dutch delegates were always already seated at the table in the midst of the room. No conversation took place except upon the business of the conference. Be- fore the conference ended, the chief of the German delegation rose and insisted upon thanking the British warmly for the way in which their prisoners had been treated. He said no other country had behaved so well. The English commissioners bowed their thanks, but did not return the compliment. .

Alpheus Newell Andrus senior missionary for the Con- gregational station at Mardin, Me potamia, who told of his experiences here today. The farsighted Germans, he said, were looking forward to the time when they expected to gain com. plete dominion in Turkey and they Armenian question by getting rid of the Armen- ian race. “One of the ways the Turks went about it was to load Armenian men on goatskin rafts on the understanding | that they were to be deported—and then they were taken out and dumped into the Tigris River and drowned,” he said. “This was the fate of at least 2,500 men from the vicinity of Mesopotamia. Armed saldiers were on the rafts, which each carried about seventy-five to a hundred victims. Kurd boat- men rowed them out into deep water. Then the soldiers would drive the Armenians to one side of the rafts until they tilted and dumped them in- to the river. If they tried to climb pack on the rafts the soldiers and boatmen beat them and shot them until all perished.” The Germans and the Turkish gov- ernment, Dr .Andrus said, looked up- on the destruction of the Armenians in Turkey as a cold blooded po!lti_c:\l move, and gave the actual execution of it into the hands of the Kurds and Turkish soldiers who went about it with the ferocity of Moslem religious fanaticism. “At first the Turkish government objected to the German suggestion of the removal of the Armenians on the grounds that they were valuable as artisans and business men and neces- cary to the economic life of the coun- try,” continued Dr. Andrus, “but the Germans promised to supply men to take their places. Having persuaded the Turks, the Germans then left it to them to put the plan into effect. “But the Turkish soldiers in some places could not overcome the Ar- menians. At Urfa, the city of suffer- ing, the Armenians resolved to resist deportation and defend their inno- cent families and their church. ‘They barricaded themselves in their stone houses in their quarter. For ten days they withstood all the efforts of the Turkish soldiery to dislodge them. In the end they would have prevailed but that German ofiicers brought and trained cannon upon their stronghold and forced them to flee. “‘Surely such a people should not be allowed to perish. There still remain of them to be cared for 6,300 in Urfa and nearby. Will not the American people help care for them? Condi- tions in Mesopotamia have not been 6@c, at all dealers.

It was some of these who were j S%2 with only an insufficient allowance of bread daily. Later they were shot in groups, when no longer able to en- dure the hardships imposed. “There followed an epidemic of cholera and then a scourge of typhus. Before the war and deportations the city contained some 60,000 inhabi- tants. The last I heard there were only 7,000 citizens left there. “Women were clubbed, stabbed or shot down on the Mesopotamian plains and left for dead in piles on the ground or thrown into old cis- terns. Some, coming to conscious- ness, crawled out from the piles and up from the cisterns and draggeq themselves up the mountain to our E——— ey CROSS, FEVERISH CHILD IS BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED Look, Mother!
