"many of the Turks, believing , that by so doing they could escape punishment, turned the women— many of them with babies —into the : street. Cablegrams to the Commit tee have reported that numbers of these women were wandering about the country crazed by starvation and exposure. As fast as possible they are being gathered up by the Com mittee's relief workers and placed in homes established for their care. A late telegram said that fifteen such homes have been established in Asia Minor." Take Affidavits Stories of these Armenian victims ' of Turkish atrocity were obtained by , Dr. Loyal L.
