preceding the reoccupation by the
Russians of Saimac Plains, the Aver
baiJan province. northwest OF Uru-
miah. hundreds of native Christians
were rounded up by the Turks in the
village of Haftdewan and massacred.
The Russians on entering the vii
lage found 720 bodies. mostly naked
and mutilated. The recovery of
bodies from wells. pools and bitches
and their burial kept 800 men busy
for three days.
Some of the victims had been shot
In other cases they were bound to
ladders and their heads protrudng
through were hacked off. Eyes were
gouged out and limbs chopped off.
A general massacre of the 10000
or $4,000 Christians remaining In
Urumiah is expected unless it should
be averted by orders from Constan-
tinople
Verbal messages from Urumiah con-
firm earlier reports that more than
500 persons already have been killed
in that neighborhood and that more
than 1000 have died of disease. These
messages also confirm reports of the
maltreatment of Rev. DR.. Z. T. Allen,
an American missionary at Urumiah.
The official German statement OF
Tuesday asserts that 1000 Russians
were killed and 5000 captured in an
engagement at Krasnopol. In the
German occupation of Tauroggen, it
is claimed that 1000 prisoners were
taken. Russian attacks at other
points are said to have been repulsed.
The latest statement from the Pet
rograd war office is that the German
offensive movement in this region has
been checked.
The Austrians admit the Russians
have assumed vigorous offensive in
the Carpathians, but insist all their
attacks have been repulsed.
