tie band has carried on such a relief
work as has probably never before
been attempted in the history of Chris

American workers to distribute the
funds collected both in England and

Louis Klopsch through his Journal.
the Christian Herald, of New York.
The Westminster fund was mainly ex-
pended in feeding and clothing the sur
vivors in the districts affected by the
Sassoun and Talvoreeg massacres.
When the Turks found that they could
not control the relief funds they made
a stubborn attempt to stop the relief
work altogether; but the American mis-
sionaries, by their sheer pluck and per-
sistence, carried their point, and were
permitted to remain in the field. Not

deliberately placed in that perilous po-
sition by the Turkish government, in
furtherance of its policy of extermina-
ton.
There are serious difficulties to con-
tend with in the management OF the
relief work at every point. Harpoot,
for instance, is a city surrounded by
several hundred small villages. The
town itself has been wasted by the
Kurds, and its Armenian population re-
duced almost to beggary; but the vii
lagos have met a severe fate, large
proportion of them having been literal
ly wiped out of existence. Such of the
survivors as can reach Harpoot have
gone there in the hope of being fed.
but the missionaries have to reach out
In every direction, in order to succor
those who still linger about the ruins
of their desolated homes. This descrip-
ton applies to all the cities and their
villages that will not be reached by the
present relief movement, and in these
the mortality must necessarily be
something frightful. for the Armenian
winter Is usually severe. and cold and
exposure must already have done their
fatal work among the women and chill
dren. When the winter death roll from
these causes is approximately ascer-
