I News Now Caming Out of Turkey
of Missionaries and Armenians
$ _
$ Eleven Americans Dead and About One Million Ar
menians Have Perished ; Relief Work For Refugees
*
£ By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER
Fresh news comes simultaneously
from three sources concerning the
conditions of missionaries and Ar
menians In and about Turkey. Dr.
• ornelius H. Patton, the Secretary of
the American Board of Missions, has
made a formal and official state
ment as to the present status of mis
sionaries and American property in
Turkey, enumerating the losses in life
and buildings.
From the same board has come a
somewhat detailed statement of the
American interests in the region
about Erzerum. where the Prussians
are operating. Dr. William E. Strong,
the Editorial Secretary of the Ameri
can Board, has summarized the facts
concerning the Armenians down to
date, and Professor Samuel T. Dutton,
Secretary of the American Commit
tee for Armenian relief, has reported
upon the work that is being done for
the succor of the Armenian refugees
across the border.
While there is a brighter side to
this latest news, especially because of
the stream of relief that is increasing
ly flowing to the Armenians, and be
cause of the steadfastness of the Am
ericans In Turkey, the picture is
nevertheless a terrible one.

mittee at his command, summarizes
the atrocities and gives the figures
of the dead at a million. Here is
his story of how the Turkish govern
ment undertook to eliminate the Ar
menian problem:
"A practically uniform course was
followed In carrying out this pro
ject. The leading Armentian men of
each town or vlllage-those who were
best educated, well-to-do and influ
ential, the strong and substantial
representatives of their people, were
robbed and then carried off to be kill
ed or so disposed of that they should
not reappear: the women and chil
dren and the old and feeble men were
next rounded up; on short notice,
sometimes without warnig. they were
compelled to leave their homes and
goods, which ivere promptly seized
by rapacious Turks who simply ap
propriated the vacated dwellings;
compelled further to set forth upon
a long and unknown trail toward the
south and the desert places. Without
provision or clothing for the journey,
beaten by their guards, abused by the
peoples through whose villages the-,
passed, exposed to heat and cold, to
storm and the sun's fierce rays, these
wretched outcasts were obliged to
stumble on till they fell exhausted,
starved, sick and dying by the road
side.
"For nearly a year these melan-
i choly processions have been formed
and have been strewing the land with
the bodies of their helpless victims. ;
A half dozen populous vilayets of in- j
terior Turkey have been to a large j
degree stripped of their Armenian in- j
habitants. Of the two million which
was the estimated number of Armen- j
ians in Turkey, it is estimated that l
one-half have died; that 250,000 j
more are refugees in Russia. Persia,
Egypt and elsewhere; that there are 1
perhaps 500,000 still in the land, j
mostly women and children left home
less and destitute, besides thousands'
of the more attractive Armenian girls
who were seized from their homes
or on the march and carried off to be
come the possession of Turkish men.
"It is not necessary here to relate
the stories of suffering and outrage
which have a'tended this persecution.
They are too horrible to be described
in detail: too brutal to be believed l
were they not reported by a host of
witnesses. The Turk has been seen ai
his worst; in his most cruel and fa
natic temper. He has struck his Ar- J
menian subjects indiscriminately, re- j
morselessly and with murderous in
tent. And he has wrought with a
system ami persistence quite unlike j
his usual fiery but unstable self. He j
has done his best to clear his land of j'
a people whose thrift, industry, pa-!'
tience and growing prosperity made • 1
him insanely jealous. He has done
it even to his own hurt, as he has j 1
robbed his country of its efficient j 1
men: from many a city and town the!:
shoemaker, the tailor, the baker, thej l
dentist, the artizan, the banker, all j
are gone: and the Turks are crying j
out ruefully, 'Who will work for) 1
us ?' "
Americans Standing By
Tf American Board
were war correspondents, there would j 1
be some thrilling stories in the papers' l
these days. For instance, Rev. Rob- !
ert S. Stapleton has remained in Er- j 1
zerum all through the siege and since] 1
the Russian occupation. His wife, I'
Hr. Stapleton, accompanied her poor' l
and sick people as refugees to Er- j'
zingam. These were the only Ameri
cans in the city. There is a little i
hospital at Erzingam, and here one '
iOf the missionaries, Miss Zenger, died 1
oi' typhus a year ago when she went 11
to b*'ii in the epidemic that had laid j 1
thecity low. I
Dr. and .Mrs. I*. S. Crawford have j
staid by their work at Trebizond, be- !
ing with the consul, the only Ameri- ]
cans there. The nearness of the mis- \
sion property to the consulate, it is 1
hoped, will have saved It from bom- ; I
bardment.
Bitlis, a city in the fastnesses of!
Armenia, has figured of late in the!
cablegrams owing to its capture by
the Russians. The American board
has three educational institutions here
including a Mount Holyoke school, i
The head of the mission, Rev. George
I J . Knapp, was forcibly removed by
the Turks to Diarbekir, where he died
immediately and mysteriously. This
left two young women, one of whom
had gone to Turkey only in 1913, in
charge of all work in Bitlis, and the 1
more experienced Miss MacLaren j i
came down with the typhus. Miss 11
Shane gave a superb exhibition of i
what an American girl can do in an i
emergency by nursing her companion, !
directing the mission, caring for the i
native Christians and dealing with the .
authorities. When affairs become too ■,
acute, however, the American em- j
bassador sent a government "kavass" i
to remove the two girls to Harpoot, ! i
where they joined the largei- station.
The Russian troops are heHded to- 1
ward Sivas, an important mission cen- i
ter, where three American women, I
Miss Willard, Miss Gage and Miss n
Groflfam, have made brilliant history
! in connection with their dauntless ef
' forts to save the Armenian girls un
! der their charge from the Turkish
standing by.
How .Missions Slanil
The largest foreign investment in
the whole Turkish empire it that of
the American Board of Missions,
, which has three million dollars worth
of property alone, in the form of
schools, hospitals, churches and resi
dences. In addition, of course, is the
investment in the support of mission
aries. Secretary Patton reports:
"The missionaries, 190 in number,
so far as reported are all safe, al
though there has been heavy loss
I through deah. Eleven have died since
May. YVe have lost three of our
splendid physicians by typhus fever;
i Dr. Atkinson of Harpoot, Dr. Thom
of Mardin, and the famous Dr. Shep
ard of Aintab, all these have caught
the disease from their patients. The
loss is irreparable.
"Six of our stations have been aban
doned temporarily: Van, Bitlis, Oorfa,
Diabekir, Adabazar, and Barde/.og
the population having been wiped out.
At Harpoot, Trebizond, Harsovan,
Sivas, Hadjin and Tarsus massacres
and deportations have nearly wiped
out the Armenian population, but the ;
missionaries remain to care for the
aged, the intirm, and the children who
are left, and to guard the mission
property. It is left to the mission- •
aries to come home if they think best.
"Aintab, Marash, Adnna and Brousa
have suffered terribly, but. not like the
above places. At Talas and Cesarea,
where the population is more largely
Greek, and where the Governor has
been friendly, the work goes on as
usual, and the schools are full to
overflowing. In Constantinople the
deportation has been comparatively
slight. At Smyrna the college is in
full blast, and doing a greater work
than ever. Miss Vaughn remains
alone at Hadjin, but is considered to
be safe. The Stapletons are alone at
Erzerum. There has been no news
from the Balkans except Monastir,
which reports that the schools have
continued without the loss of a day
throughout the disturbances incident
to the capture of the city by the Bul
garians."
Wliat One American Saw
Some of the American missionaries
who have been forced out of Turkey
have been chafing to get back for the
relief work, and three missionaries, !
Messrs. W. F. Macallum, Floyd O. |
Smith and George F. Gracey, have
been sent to Tiflis, Russia, where they
are working among the one hundred
and seventy thousand refugees in the
Caucasus region. Dr. Edgar St. John
Ward, of Syrian Protestant College,
has gone to Aleppo with Ked Cross
supplies to minister to the Armenian
refugees congested there.
rtev. Dr. Samuel G. Wilson, a Penn
sylvanian. who is one of the foremost
missionaries of the Presbyterian
Board in Persia, lias been put in
charge of the relief work for the Am
erican Committee in Persia and Rus
sia, and he writes a moving letter
from Erivan, in the Russian Caucasus.
In the district of Erivan alone there
are one hundred and five thmisand
Armenian refugees, besides Neatorians
and Vezidees.
With the ilefinateness and simplicity
of a careful investigator, Dr. Wilson
reports what he has seen of the prob
lem of finding shelter and food for the
host of people in a severe Winter of
the Armenian uplands:
"We saw families of thirteen and
sixtceu mothers, daughter, brides:
J and children —without any men. We
[ asked, 'Where are your men?'
I "They were all killed."
"Again, 'Of seventy men but one
j escaped.'
"Again, 'There were four hundred
and fifty households in our village and
i only twenty or thirty men escaped."
I "We asked one surviving man, 'How
| are you here'." He replied, 'I was off
las a soldier in the Turkish army. I
heard of the massacre. By mountain
j by-ways I returned to find our village

found our people.'
Dr. Wilson tells of Caucasus vil
lages of three hundred houses with
nine hundred refugees quartered in
them. In one region forty thousand
died of disease after reaching Russian
territory. In one stable he found 1
eighteen persons, a blind youth being
the only man. In a bake house
twenty-seven persons were quartered,
one boy and one very old man being
the only males. Of six hundred refu
gees in one village thirty are men;
results that he said: If the Quaker
treatment does not produce results
within a day no charges will be made
for it. Miss Hickernell took the treat -
i ment carefully following directions and
lo and behold in less than three hours
afterwards she* expelled the monster
tapeworm complete with head. At
that moment her life was saved. This
cure spread like wild fire and created
much excitement in Middletown, she
is now being congratulated on all sides
for her narrow escape from death.
She and all her people at home will
also cheerfully certify that her cure
is due to the Quaker Herb Extract and
nothing else. What do all these cures
mean? Why are they published? They
some of them escaped soldiers. One
had concealed himself under a mass
of dead bodies.
There is a terrible uniformity in the
tales of suffering and need. The Rus
sian government has appropriated a
million and a half of rubles for the
Caucasus refugees. The American
Committee has sent half a million dol
lars. The need will continue fop
months to come, but the most reassur

it is now more possible than ever to
