In the evening a mass meeting was
held in Orchestra hall under the au-

at which President Schurman of Cor

The most notable Of the gatherings
was the "silent peace demonstration"

gathered at the foot Of Grants monu-
ment for half an hour before going to
the various meetings scheduled for
them. They said nothing and did

only distinguishing marks.

Gregorian and Protestant communi-
ties patrolled the streets around our
building. The situation was grave.
A great crowd composed of soldiers,
zabties, Bashibazooks and rabble,
bent on plunderlng. had gathered at
the rear Of our house for an attack.
Our only dependence was a self-ap-
pointed guard OF young Armenians. A
steady fire was kept up on both
sides; that on the part of our young
men was intended only to frlghten
the crowd and, II possible, to drive
them away. Our Armenians called to
those below: we are brothers; don't
Ere, and asked them to send one man
to confer with a representative OF our
side.
"This was agreed to, but in place
OF one man hundreds started to come.
They demanded that we give up our
arms. but with that angry mob this
meant death. Finally MIR. Trowbridge
talked with them from window.
This too failed. The greatest danger,
of course, was for the girls, and we
decided to take them to Mr.. Cham
bers house Seemingly without fear
they marched out in order, two and
two, across the street to the mousse OF
Miss Wallace, the English nurse, then
through hole in the wall which had
been opeRed for an emergency
through the yards out into the street
AGAIN vhnre they reached the Cham
bers gate.
81 can not describe the crowd, the
noise and confusion in this house and
yard. Refugees covered everywhere.
Both house and court apparently had
been ovorhowing with refugees before
our arrival, but we added to the num-
Der more than 100 from our house
and about so girls and teachers. Our
girls and teachers were cslmest of all.
