Annihilating People
"What has occurred in a few
months in Cilicia and Armenia," wrote
Nubar Pasha in transmitting the cor
respondence, "is unbelievable. It is
nothing more or less than the anni
hilation of the whole people."
A letter from the Constantinople
source says that Armenians in all the
cities and villages of the province of
Cilicia have been deported en masse
to the desert regions south of Aleplio.
"Moslem's have occupied the lands
and houses abandoned by the Ar
menians," the letter reads.
The deported are not. allowed to
carry with them anything. They have
to travel on foot distances requiring
a month or two of walking in order
to arrive at the desert assigned for
their habitation, where they will find
no houses, no work, no livelihood, but
their graves.
"The villages In the vilayets of Van
and Bitlis have been pillaged and the
populations put to the sword. All the
Armenians of Kara-Hisar have been
massacred except a few children who
escaped by a miracle."

ESCAPING METAL
ENDANGERS LIVES
Molten Fluid Under Terrific
Pressure Hisses Through
Break
When a "burn through" at No. 4
blast furnace at the Pennsylvania Steel
Works yesterday afternoon released a
hissing stream of molten metal more
than a score of workmen nearby had
narrow escapes from death.
The "burn through" made an open
ing through the brick lining and outer
shell of the big stack. Driven by the
terrific air pressure from the two larg
est blowing engines In the world the
sizzling molten metal spurted through
the small aperture like a geyser. Men
who were working nearby scrambled
for places of safety. Fortunately no
one was injured.
The escaping metal caused a huge
cloud of rust colored smoke, cinder
and fine ore to rise high into the air
and darken the heavens. A large force
of men are now at work repairing the
big stack.

GERMAN ADVANCE
HAS SLACKENED
Russians Are Stubbornly Re
sisting All Along Line;
Fighting Is Severe
By Associated Press
London, Sept. 24, 12.46 p. m.—Mili
tary activities on the eastern fropt are
once more assuming the familiar
phase of a slow German advance, fol
lowing the recent impetuous rush of
the Invaders. The German plan of
dividing the Russian armies north and
south of the Pripet, has been a strate
gic success in a way, but the imme
diate effect of the severance was to
throw an increased burden on the
Austrians, who seem unable to check
the Russian drive.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro
grad state that the latest Russian vic
tory, northwest of Dubno is of inoro
importance than was revealed by the
official communication from Petro
grad, involving recapture of the fort
ress of Lutsk, northwest of Grodno.
Relinquishing of this fortress the Aus
trians are said to have retired across
the Styr.
All the way from the Baltic port of
Riga to the Pripet marshes the Rus
sians are holding their line stubbornly
in an attempt to bring their long re
tirement to an end. The fighting is
particularly severe southeast of Vilna
and east of Dvinsk. Envelopment of
the Vllna ariny having failed, it la as
sumed the Germans will develop their
offensive movement at Dvinsk, with
the view of an ultimate blow at Riga.
It is generally believed the Germans
have determined to capture Riga be
fore the onset of winter.
The French War Office this after
noon gave out a statement on the pro
gress of hostilities reading:
"An artillery battle progressed dur
ing the night in the region of Arras.
Our batteries seriously damaged the
enemy's organization at several points.
"A strong German patrol which
seized one of our underground listen
ing positions in the sector of Breten
court was dispersed by our fire."

NEGOTIATING LOAN
FOR HALF BILLION
Russia Appears to Have Reen
Forced Out by American
Financiers
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 24.—80 th parties
to the proposed big credit loan to
Great Britain and France were re
ported to be negotiating to-day on
the basis of $500,000,000 as the maxi
mum amount.
The Anglo-French Commission, it
was said, was still inclined to insist
that the loan should be greater than
this amount; American financiers
were reported to have informed the
commission pointedly that this sum
would not be exceeded.
Russia appeared to be out of nego
tiations as a participant. If it should
appear necessary that she, too, estab
lish a credit here, it seemed likely that
Independent arrangements would have
to be made for her.
The reported stand of American
financiers to lend no more than
$500,000,000 was said to have played
a leading factor in the virtual decision
not to include Russia as a participant.
With Russia in, it was said the need
would be for more than a half bil
lion dollars.
On behalf of both parties to the
negotiations, it was said to-day that
matters were progressing smoothly
and satisfactorily. The commission
and its American associates were said
to be drawing near an agreement again
and an announcement stating that a
definite plan had been agreed upon
was expected within a few days.
