MISS SILLIMAN NOT
WITH MISSIONARIES
Former New Britain Woman Reaches
Home in New Canaan While Col
leagues Flee From Van.

Escaping by a. narrow margin, the
plight of others in the mission field
at Van, Turkey, Miss Caroline Sill
man, New Britain girl, who was
sent out from the South Congrega-
tional church about seven years ago,
has safely reached this country, it
was learned today. Miss Silliman,
who was under commission by the
American Board which has headquar-
ters at Boston, is a graduate of the
New Britain Normal school and for
some time taught school in this city.
Although her home is in New Canaan
she became affiliated with the South
Congregational church through her
work here. She became deeply inter-
ested in mission work and when the
opportunity offered to teach in the
American schools at Van, promptly
volunteered.
During her entire time abroad Miss
S1lllman was actively connected with
educational work in Van and had
just completed her term of service.
By returning at once she has es-
capped the dire fate which threatened
the American missionaries and her
fellow workers in Van which COM

aries had reached Tif1is. A similar
dispatch reached the American Board
in Boston and word from there was
