DEIRUT. May 16.-It is evident that
X conditions everywhere in Asia
~ Minor are far from settled and
that it will take time and govern
ment much stronger than the present
one to make it possible for people to
go about their labors with safety.
After the terrible massacres and the
pillage and burning of Adana new
vail and new troops were sent from
Constantinople. Much was expected or
them, but they have done little to I'M
prove conditions.
THE inefficiency of the government is
seen and felt everywhere.
Six thousand troops and hundreds of
officers swarm about Adana and eat
up the best there is to be had.
Relief committees are compelled to
send into the country for the common
est food staples.
The work of relief at Adana is being
pushed as far as means will allow.
Thousands Starving
At present in the big camp there
are IA, 800 persons on the ration list,
while 14O0 more are drawing daily ra-
tions from the home of one of the mis-
sionaries.
The unfortunates have been herded
together in rags and squalor, budding
under inadequate shelter to protect
themselves from the heat; at night
crowding together to protect them
selves from the cold because of insult
ficient covering.
Under such conditions there are in
this camp today hundreds of children
with measles. In one hospital alone
there are more than 500 wounded.
Crops in the Adana region are ripe,
and unless they are gathered soon
famine inevitably will result.
Turkish Fanatics Treacherous
Guards to protect the people who
have dared to venture out to gather
their crops have time and again
proved the treachery of the Turk.
The farmers have been either
stabbed or shot down as soon as they
came outside of the city limits.
From Baghche it is reported that
recent events there showed that Mo
hammedan fanaticism and hatred ol
the Armenian was even more intense
than in the massacres of 1895.
One half of the male population ovei
12 years of age have been killed anc

FIND TWO CHILDREN

Spouse Dies in His
Arms
(By Associated Press.)
IAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June g.

AT IAGARA FALLS, n. Y, June g.
Aaron Cohen of Buffalo saw his
AZ young wife leap into the swirl
ing river between Second and Third
Sisters islands today. only $50 feet
above the brink of the cataract.
Without a moments hesitation he
followed her, caught her hand, and
struggling desperately tried to save
her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her hus-
bands arms. Before it was possible
to bring efficient help an hour had
passed. during all of which time Co
hen was making frantic attempts to
reach the shore.
But the struggle against the current
at this point 1t is about twenty
miles an hour-Was beyond his power.
Fortune aided him.
With his wife tightly clasped to him
he felt himself humping into tree
stump, and on this he got grip with
his one free hand. He shouted for help.
Finally word was carried to the res
ervation police, and Policeman James
Martin and three other men with ropes
hurried to the scene.
Three times they threw q rope be-
fore it fell within Cohen's grasp.
Too Weak to Help
When he did catch it he was too
weak to tie it about his own or his
wife's waist.
The two were twenty feet away from
shore, and it was extremely difficult,
owing to the precarious nature of the
footing, to make a good cast.
Pinned against the. tree stump by
the terrific rush of water, all the
strength had gone out of Cohen, and
he had been unable to keep his wifes
face above water.

in front, slipped and fell into the
stream, but quickly regained his feet.
When within fifteen feet of the shore
Cohen lost his grip on his wife's body
and it was carried downstream and
was lost to view.
Unable to Speak
Cohen was so far gone when the res
cuers got him ashore that he could not
speak for ten minutes. His first words
were
"She is out there. Go and get her.
She is dead. She died in my arms"
Superintendent Perry and Chief
Shoebridge skirted the Goat island
! shore looking for the body. but could
I see nothing of It.
William Barnett and Hugh Brown
saw the body after a long search. Tt
was held fast by rock about a hun
dred feet away above the brink
Without ropes Brown and Barnett
waded out into the stream, and NOV
ing carefully over the slippery rocks
reached the body. Just as Brown
touched it the current caught it again
and it whirled around in an eddy
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the two men brought the body to
land. Life was extinct.
Cohen says that worry over the fact
that xxrnG r
fant depressed his wife greatly, and
probably caused her desire for death.
He, being a robust man, quickly re-
covered from the shock.
