AS 1T IS IN ALBANIA TO-DAY.
A PitifuI Story of Brave People Told
BY One Who Has Made a Jorney oi
Investigation In Three Coast Cities

Rev. c. Telford Erickson. missionary
of the American Board to Albania, who
was compelled to leave the country
temporarily. has made a journey of in
coast cities of Albania, Valona and
Durazzo and Scutari. He has sent to
the Secretaries OF the Board. In Ameri-
ca, an account of the desperate situa-
ton in this state left without ruler or
protector. distracted with civil strife
and now invaded by the armies of Ser
via. Mr.. Erickson writes: las l pass
up the road to the city from the boat
landing, / notice on the right in an
olive grove some matched shelters,
about two dozen OF them. The land
is low and pools of green-scummed
hundred people are living there. This
is half the original number-the other
half now resting in the improvised
cemetery not far awaw. An Albanian
friend, Islam Bey, is with me. He too
had suffered; houses burned, property
destroyed, or carried of, animals driv-
en- away, family scattered, and he
knew how to sympathiZe. We gath
cred the little company together. three
men, the rest women and children. A
few men were in the town trying to
pick up an odd job and earn a penny
or two; others had been killed by the
Greeks before they got away; many
died by sheer, deliberate starvation and
deprivation. There wasn't enough for
all to keep alive and they denied them
selves and gave the family what there
was. This ascertained consisted now
of a little handful of corn meal, de-
cayed and mouldy, mixed with nettie
leaves and stewed in a pot. One
grandmother has managed. God only
knows how, to get a few pennies to
buy wool and is spinning yarn to make
pair of socks to sell-she may make
five cents on her transaction. She
needs them herself, poor thing, but
socks are a luxury in this Community.

TURKISH ATROCITIES
UNPARALLELED
Wholesale Murder, Fiendish Torture,
Deportation of Women sand Chill
dren.

The atrocities now committed in
Turkey surpass anything that has ever
preceded even in the palmiest days
of Abdul the Arch Assassin says cor
respondence from that country. They
are carefully planned and diabolically
executed. and include torture of the
most revolving types, murder by the
wholesale and Venomous method of
deportation that separates families
and sends large numbers Of the VIC
TINS to inevitable death.
In one prosperous city twelve of the
leading Armenian men were taken out
upon the road under great pretense Of
deportation. In a few hours the
guards returned alone. A few days
later 800 more men followed the same
duplicated everywhere in the interior
of Turkey.
Women and chilren, old men and
invalids are driven from their homes
at the point of the bayonet and sent
along different routes covering many
days, even weeks of travel. No pre-
parations for the journey are made or
permitted. Children born upon the
road are strangled by the mother who
is forbidden to lag behind the caravan
of death. Those too ill are left alone
by the roadside to die. One German
woman following a caravan picked up
fifteen children in one day thus left

and from the Black Sea to the Medi-

towns have been depopulated and
