D, a' medical missionary to Van, Turkey, and well known in this city, before 'a very large audience at the Davis&heatre on Sunday evening. How thousands of Armenian women and children were unmercifully murderdl by cut-throat Turkish regiments, how the Red Cross flag on the hospiial at Van wae disregarded by the barbarous Turkish soldiers and how even Old Glory, the emblem of purity and free- domi, 'was riddied by Turkish bullets as it waved proudly in the breeze above the American hospital at Van, were some of the revelations made to the people of Norwich by Dr. Ussher, who is muking an appeal for financial aid for the Armenian relief fund. Practically all the churches in the city omitted their evening services in order that their congregations might hear Dr. Ussher's story of conditions at Van and & large number of the lo- cal clergy occupled seats on the stage. His Honor, Mayor Timothy C. Mur- phy, was chairman of the meeting. Rev. Frederick W. Coleman, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, offered prayer and a selection was ren- dered by the choir of Broadway Con- gregational church. Dr. Ussher was introduced by Mayor Murphy.

Armenian Force Held Turkish Army at Bay for 28 Days—Urgent Need of Relief Funds. The governor general wished to place fitty soldiers with cennon and supplies for ten days in our premises which dominated the Armenian head- quarters and when we demurred at the large number he insisted on fifty or none. If we refused to mccept the Afty soldiers he ordered us to give him a paper stating that we had refused the protection of the ernment. This we of course could not do and expect our government to hold Turkey responsible for the loss of American lives. If we had given him such a paper it was probable that he would have set upon our premises, murdered all within and then represented that the Armenians had committed the outrage. He would have represented to our government that we had refused the protection of the Ottoman government and Ameri- ca would never have _known just what had happened. To give him such a paper would have endangered every American life in Turkey. Our premises were granted us by special orders of the Sultan in rec- ognitten of our services. We warned the governor that any attempt to send Turkish soldiers into the Armenian headquarters would arouse the Arme- nians and might precipitate trouble. We consented to receive the soldiers LENTEN SERVICES FOR LARGE ATTENDANCE AT MEN’S MASS MEETING. Rev. Joseph H. Selden Was Speaker at Y. M. C. A. Service in Thayer Buiid. ing Store. At the Y. M.

It speaks words men can un- derstand. It is immensely atern. Men, it is up to you to get behind the stern part of the (Bible. Peter wag ready with an answer on the day of Pentecost. He was then to tell them a better way, and eo_does the Bible show us the better way. What ideas must some men have who have Dbeen in the darkest hours of life; per- haps they think of Him as a king and they His disloyal subjects who have broken His commandments. The Bible teaches us that God is nat onmly the King but our Friend and Father. What can you say to a men who has been untrue to himselt and friends, worthless and careless? To save him there is only one thing, and that is to put heart and courage into him with the word of the gospel. The Bible has a wonderful message. 2 The sun covers all parts of the earth; and go does God in every life. God is over all our lives. He is watching over is Dr. Ussher began by telling of the mobilization of the Turks which was starteq July 31, 1914. It was certain from the first that the destruction of the Christian races was determined. They were maltreated and starved in ‘the army and plundered and bankrupt- ed in the name of requisition. Follow- ing the lead set by Germany, all the Turkish criminals Imprisoned in Van ‘were liberated and armed on condition that they do the bidding of the gov- ernment. Orders were issued that the Chris- tians were to be exterminated and that if any Moslem should protect a Chris- tian, first his house should be burned, the 'Christian_killed before his eves and then his family and himself. The first house burned in Van was the home of a Moslem who shielded an Armenian. Foully Murdered at a Feast. The government on April 15th_ar- rested an Armenian leader at Sha- dakh. The people made a protest and demanded his release. On the next day the governor called four Armenian leaders of Van and sent them with four Turkish officials as a peace com- mission to Shadakh. The first night they were on the way, and by the governor's orders they ' were foully murdered at a feast. On the following day a cavalry regiment of the Turkish criminal cutthroat soldliers was sent to massacre the people in Shadakh. They found the road guarded and not wishing to encounter the Armenian rear guard swept down one of the most beautiful valleys in the country, massacreing village after village, six in number. The Armenian populace had been advised to do nothing which visited with Turmer Greene of Plain- fleld last week.

This boy did not die in the lake, but, suffering horribly as he must have been, was carried 12 miles on the back of a brave Armenian woman to the hospital, and the strange thing about it was that he lived. With the others he had spent four days in the mountains wrapped in filthy gar- ments. Previous to the slege of Van, the Ruesians had entered the province of Van and occupied Bashkalla and Seral. On their withdrawal from these places the Turks had slaughtered nearly ev- ery Christian remaining. Horrible out- rages were perpetrated, women and girls were herded into rooms where Turkish soldiers entered and did_to death in the vilest manner possible, even little girls 6 and 8 years old. Nineteen outraged and mutilated wom- en ang girls, Armenian and Syrian, were lett lying in one room, and their horrible plight was described and pub- shed by the guilty Turkish officers, ho in order to etir the Moslems to hatred represented that these were Moslem women and girls who had been thus abused by the Armenians and Russlans. Hundreds Shot Down. April 19th the governor of Arjish called all the men of Cigantz by trades with their apprentices, sending gen- darmes for those who were tardy. They were divided into groups of 50, marched out, and 2,500 shot down and tumbled into trenches. This was the most merciful of massacres. In other places men were flayed alive and wom- en ripped up and mutilated. Again the account was published throughout the empire representing that the Armeni- ans had rebelled and done this to the Turkish population. Even then the local Moslems could not be persuaded and the government was compelled to send courtmartial officials and criminal soldiers to superintend the deportation and massacre of nearly the entire Ar- menian population of Turkey. The able bodled men were taken away to the army. Others were sent out on the road a few hours’ journey and then brutally murdered. At Mar- sovan 1,216, comprising the college ana school facuities and students, preachers and others, were slaughtered with axes, and one man boasted that he had idlled 50 that night and taken 150 liras from their bodles. This done, the aged and the women and girls were herded like cattle and sent on foot journeys of months’ dura- tion, without provisions or clothing. One group of 5,000 sent from Harpoot numbered_but 213 when it reached ‘Aleppo. Women were stripped naked 2nd compelled to travel so under the heat of the sun by day and the chill of night lying in the open on the bare ground and subject to the passions of any flend who chose to approach them. The men weére thrown into the larger rivers and drowned. Driven to the Desert. Of these miserable victims, about %00,000 have been driven to the swamps near Aleppo and the desert om misery, Der-El-Zor. So Turkey has reduced from two million the popuiation which might not only eat her food but might produce it. She has deprived her em- pire of her artisans and trades people and of her progressive, educated class- es. The condition of her Moslem sub- Jects will be pitiable in the extreme even in their own homes. What must be the condition of these exiles!

We also assured him that we would protect the neutrality of our prem- ises and we would permit no ong to fire a shot from our premises unless it were by our permission. He knew that we meant what we sald and did not send the soldfers. When the requisition startea sol- diers appeared tn our hospital head- puarters and demanded us to give them our supplies. We told them we would give or sell what we could spare but that we needed the sup- plies to continue our work. They said they would take whatever they wanted. Mcst of our supplies were in the cellar and to prevent the soldiers from going down I stood on the door. Fou Zoldlera were ‘ordered to remove @nd| from the door. They started for but just as one was about to reach for me, my companion, Rev. E. A. Yarrow seized him and whirled him around until he didn't know where he stood. st Fighting For a Principle. The order was thep gfven to sum- mon twenty gendarmes. . Call a hundred gegdarmes if you want to, said Rev. Mr. Yarrow. =~ Why, you couldn't withstand a hundred gend- armes, s3id the commanding_officer. Yes we can, said Rev. Mr. Yarrow, for a minute. Then it dawned on him that we were fighting for a principle. If we did not stand up for principle all other American property would be taken. There would be no retuge for anyone. I tell you this to show you what the Ottoman empire tried to do with foreigners. April 19th was the day set for the general massacre of the Armenians and the commanding officer boasted that he would exterminate the Ar- menians in 24 hours. Fifty-five thousand Armenians were slaughtered the first day. Handful of Men Held Turkish Army. April 20th they found the Armeni- ans on the debensive at Van. For 28 days a handful of Armenians held the Turkish army at bay. In the walled city there were about 60 de- fenders and though the Turks had cannon and mortars and could even throw hand grenades in the Armeni- an houses, they were unable to get in- to the Armenian quarters. They were pushed back and the Armenians cap- tured and burned the government biildings. Huge bombs, weighing 320 pounds and filled with powder were thrown upon the houses. The first ones did great damage Dut the people soon learned what they were and the brave women stood guard, watching day and night, and the moment they heard the boom' of the Turkish mortars they would watch where the bomb fell and then quickly run to the spot and pour water on the fuse and pull it out. From these bombs the defenders pro- cured powder to refill their cartridges. American Flag Riddled. From brass trinklets, old copper and metal they manufactured cart- ridges, a small gun, and they made their own powder. Our Red Cross flag was pulled down, the American flag riddled and shells started pour- ing into our.quarters. As I kept about word—a Any A my work they brought me shell has burst in your house. one injured? No. Thank God. few minutes later—one in the bo: school. No one hurt. The girl school, a®d so on. But each time there was no one hurt. Then came word that a shell had burst in Dr. Reynold’s house and a seven year old girl killed. The mother had fainted and I knew I was needed, so I hurried home to comfort. Impelled by some power T took my fleld glasses to the attic of our house which overlooked the barracks from which we were being bombarded and saw the Turks preparing to flee. Soon the barracks were burning and the fear of the Armenians fell upon the Turks who fled. Fearing the Turks might return the Armenians plundered and burned the Turkish quarters. Two days later the Russian army came and we kng#s why the Turks had fled. Armenians Hopeful and Cheerful. As refugees the contrast between folowers of Islam and Christianity was marked. Christianity never appear- ed to better advantage. Throughout the siege the Armenians were hope- ful, even cheerful and thoughtful of each other. The Turks, on the other hand, were hopeless, gloomy, selfish, filthy and lazy, and nothing but a bayonet or club could induce them to do a stroke of work for the common good. In closing Dr. Ussher sald: Five dollars & month will provide for one. How many will you keep altve? and how long will vou keep them alive? Evervone in Van {8 now in the hands of Russia. Here the Armenians can find a homge if you will keep them alive a few months and help in the reconstruction. A liberal contribution was taken up by the ushers at the close of Dr. Ussher's talk. Mayor Murphy announcea that any further contributions, large or small, may be sent to Col. Charles W. Gale, at the Thames National bank. Col. Gale has been appointed local treas. urer of the Armenian Relief commit- tee. Local Man on Nominating Committee.

God is all about us, with an open heart as a father.and friend. God has many ways of access to our hearts and a special way through Jesus Christ, his son. Rev, Mr. Selden told an incident of a father trying to mend the ways of his wayward son by doing anything to save him as an illustration to bring out the great sacrifice of God in giving his only begotten son to the world. ‘The gospel of today is the same as it ever was and Jesus Christ is just as much at home in Norwich as he was in Jerusalem. He is the same patient, gentle and forgiving, and all we need do is to turn from our evil ways. The world each day is being changed by the hand of God, being made more perfect. We can all join in the right direction with Jesus Christ if we are only honest and willing to change just like a flower unfolding eo would we expand. MARRIED AT NORTH STONINGTON Mrs. Martha.S. Whitney Lewis Grant. ed Divorce From Walter W. Lewi of "Frisco. In the superior court at Hartford, Friday, Judge Gardiner Greene granted a divorce to Martha S. Whitney Lewls, who lives on Windsor avenue, Hart- ford. She married Walter W. Lewis in North Stonington, Dec. 24, 1889. Lewis lives In San Francisco, and the woman charged her hushand deserted her in November, 1910. He had lived in Hartford but got work elsewhere. He visited her for a time then neg- lected to come to see her, and refused to permit her to visit him. She told Judge Greene she has a daughter 22 years old, who is married, and a son 1 told the judge she has maintained her- selt by dressmaking, working in a store, and keeping a rooming house. Her husband had no occasion for de- serting her. INITIATED CLASS OF TWELVE.
