have been a vast charnel house. During
the past three months $500 Turkish
soldiers have died in the various hospit-
ais there, and probably as MANY civil
l nn q, making total mortality of nearly
2o,ooOln Erzeroum alone in about twelve
weeks. In January, the weather being
then very severe, detachment of 500
troops was sent over the mountains to
Birmingham. Only 300 reached their
destination. They were overtaken nv a
fearful snow storm. The colonel had his
wife and three children with him in a
co covered ARABIA; he and they all persisted.
lhe hospitals at Erzeroum are full of
cases OF frost bite, some of them as Sc
we're as any cases on record. Twenty
seven soldiers without feet arc under
Inc charge of one surgeon alone: they
had all been frostbitten and their feet
had to be amputated.
