WELL CUT ALL ICE I
THEY CAN OBTAIN
Local Dealers Will Begin the
Work as Soon as It Is
Thick Enough
I.OCttl ice dealers are all set to cut
all the ice they can get, according to
J-Jarvey K. DeWalt, of the United Ice
and Coal Company. Mr. DeWalt said
this morning that although the ice
was only several inches thick at pres
ent and therefore unlit for cutting, if
the cold wave continues it will not
be very long before the work will
begin.
Philadelphia dispatches this morn
ing speak of the great shortage of
natural which will result from
the propaganda being directed
against it as unhealthful. The
natural ice forming in that region
will not be cut because many com
panies have let their ice houses fall
to pieces and have directed their
energies in the manufacture of artifi
cial ice.
This will not happen in Jiarris
burg, according to Mr. DeWalt, asi
the companies have kept their ice
houses in good repair and are all pre
pared to take care of their capacity
of 65,000 tons.

Tse McNeil's Pain Exterminator —Ad
MANY CHRISTIANS i
FLEEING MOSLEMS
Fear of Further Massacres
Causing Members to Aban
don Homes
Diarbekir, Turkey, Dec. 20.—Fear
| of the further massacres is causing
j numbers of Christians in this region
|to atiandon their homes and seek
| safety in the territory occupied by
| the British, whose nearest post is at
' Ourfa.
For days there has been a steady
procession of carriages, containing
families with all their possessions,
! on the road to the southward. Many
lof them are headed for Aleppo,
I which means a hot, dusty journey of
! several hundred miles across the
j plain.
j The immediate cause of this ex
odus of Christians is the nttltc.de of
| their Moslem neighbors, coupled
1 with the notorious reputation that
; Dlurhckir won for itself in the mas
j sac res and deportations a few years
I ago, but back of it is a feeling of
' restlessness because of the fact that
j months have passed since tlie armis
j tice and as yet "mothing lias been
j done to guarantee the security o!
the non-Moslem population.
Take Xo Heed of Promises
The Near East relief, the Amer
ican organization which is distribut
ing aid to the survivors of the mas
sacres through a station In Diarbe
kir, has succeeded in obtaining as
surance from the authorities that
the Christians will not ho molested
by the government, and that they
may resume tlieir occupations. This
| assurance, however, applies only to
the authorities, and means that the
Christians are only to consider that
i if disorders begin, they will not, at
least, be at the open instigation of
the government. It' does not en
tirely promise, protection, and there
fore the Christians, afraid that the
Moslems may turn against them at
j any moment, are electing to seek
! safety in flight.
The situation is having its effect
| on the work of the relief organ
ization in recovering the Christian
girls wlio were carried off, during
the deportations, to Moslem harems.
This work lias been going on for
weeks, the relief workers being un
dismayed by tlie thought of per
sonal peril. Now, however, the
Moslems are threatening tlie girls
with death if tliey permit them
selves to be rescued, and many of
them are afraid to leave their mas
ters.
Large numbers of these girls re
main to be recovered. In the early
months of 1915 about 68,000 Chris-j
tions were exiled from Diat'beklr,
and from their ranks were taken
hundreds of th e prettiest young
women. Even some of those who
escaped, and remained hidden in
the vicinity throughout the depor
tations, later sold themselves to the I
Turks, confronted as they were with
the alternative of doing this or of
starving to death. Tlie condition
of these Christian girls is one of the
most tragic problems that confront
the relief workers who state that
many of the girls, in their shame,
have killed the children of their
Moslem fathers.
Faking of German
Soldiers in Berlin
Is Trailed by Police
Berlin. Dee. 20.—A1l tlie organi
zations for alleviating the lot of the
war wounded have joined with tho
Ministry of Labor to put an end fi
nally to tlie begging by the pre
tended wounded soldiers who clutter
tlie principal streets of Berlin. On
all sides one sees men whose arms
have been "severed" (by strapping
them to their bodies), or who feign
to he suffering from sliellsliock and
shake pitifully, after learning in a
Berlin school the approved methods
of shaking. Investigation has shown
that these people collect up to 300
marks daily from tlieir faking.
The government has been carry
ing on investigations for weeks in
Berlin, Essen, Hamburg and other
large cities, and lias established the
fact that hardly 5 per cent of the
"wounded" soldiers who are begging
are genuine. One "shaker" was
trailed to a saloon where he ceased
shaking and drank cognac liberally
while he counted up over 300 marks,
his day's receipts. Another "one
armed"" man collected eighty marks
in two hours in Tauentzien street,
and then was seen to slip round a
corner and unbind his missing arm
which was belted to his body. . In
Hamburg, of eighteen men arrested
only one proved to have been
wounded In tlie war.
