By Associated Press
New York. April 9.—"A fearful rate

gees crowded into tlie .yards of the

It Is said 5,000 persons could waroel)
And accommodations, Is reported In a
• ■onimunication received here to-day
through the State Department at
Washington by the Presbyterian
Board or Foreign Mission*. So great
was the menace, it is *ald in the com

w hen tlie way was opened, the com
munication declares, one missionary
was kept busy attending to the burial
of the dead. At times on an aver
age of forty refugees died every day.
The communication, which is a copy
of one sent to F. W. Smith, American
consul at Tiflis, Persia, by the Rev.
Robert M. Ia ha nve of Frumiah, de
scribed In detail the flight of Chris
tians not only from Frumlali, hut
from all Acerbijan province after the
withdrawal of the Russian troops and
then continued In part as follows:
"Of the thousands who were forced
to remain behind, their villages being
so situated that flight was impossible,
only the future can give us a roll of
those murdered in cold blood and
with cruel tortures by the Kurds; of
the women and girls carried off and of
the children lost and the families suf
fered in the time of this terrible ca
tastrophe. All who could, fled to the
city and found the one shelter that
gave them the best hope of safety."
The communication points out that
all these refugees have to be fed; three
tons of bread daily being needed to
keep them from starvation.
"We cannot turn these people out
to starve later, as we could not turn
them out to be slaughtered," the
communication continues. Mr. La
barree asks that the Red Cross Society'
be informed of the plight of the Chris"-
tians in Urumiah. He has asked the
Board of Foreign Missions to furnish
the mission with $50,000 for its im
mediate needs.

Fighting Is Being Carried on Furiously Along Carpathian
Front; Vienna Insists That Austrians Are Offering
Stubborn Resistance; Italy Continues Her Military
Activities, but Withholds Decision
On both the western and eastern
fronts battles are in prepress which
may affect vitally the future course
of the war. In the French territory
between the Meuse and Moselle riyors
the allies are attempting to force back
«« ernian The Paris war
office claims a large amount of ground
has been won, but Berlin contradicts
this. The loss of life is probably heav

in the West since the battle of Sois

In the East the struggle is being car
ried on furiously along the Carpathian
front, particular importance attaching
to the fighting in the Beskids, over
which the Russians are attempting to
force their way to the plains of Hun
gary. Although it is said in Petrograd
that the Austrian army has been cut
in two and that the Russians now
have a clear road to Hungary, Vienna
insists that effective resistance is being
offered.
Italy continues rapidly her military
preparations but no decision b:is been
received whether she will participate
in the war. lt is reported from Ge
neva that Italy is withdrawing rail
road equipment from the Swiss fron
tier for the movement of troops to the
territory adjoining the Austrian Tyrol.
The border fortresses have been gar
risoned and equipped.
Greece Similar to Italy
King Constantine, of Greece, is
quoted as saying that his country is
In a position similar to Italy, having
made military preparations without
abandoning neutrality. The king ex

the world would fight enthusiastically
should war be decided upon, but coun
sels a policy of prudence.
Further negotiations between Bul
garia and the triple entente powers
may be initiated, for the purpose of
ascertaining the intentions of Bulgaria.
A Rome dispatch says the pro-Russian
party in Bulgaria favoring the coun
try's participation in the war on the
side of the allies is seeking to bring
about an understanding.
