that are deported to the warmer couh-

journey successfully are distributed
among the Moslem villages and most
of them soon die of starvation or are
unable to Withstand the ravages OF the
climate.
While on the trip from Bitlis to the
coast Mr.. Maynard saw a band of
about a thousand Armenisns on their
way to Mesopotamia. Extreme cruel
ties were practiced by the gendarmes
who escorted these bands of Armen-
ians. A German lady who ventured to
protest against the treatment of the
victims was excluded from the place
where the refugees were staying while
at Aleppo. Women whose husbands
have been drafted, old men and chill
dren make up these parties The Wo-
men are allowed to die of exhaustion
and hunger. the children become lost
and finally meet death in the hills or
on the desert, and many people, being
forced to travel on foot, fall by the
roadside and are left behind to die.
Revolted aud Kill Turks.
At one village, aroused by the ac-
ton of the Turkish gendarlnes, fifty
young men revolted and killed six of
the Turks. Several battalions of
Turkish soldiers were sent to capture
them. The Armenian youths were
fortified in a monastery above the
town and when night came they cut
their way through the soldiers and es-
capped. Turkish officials were so en-
ragged that they ordered the destruc-
ton of the community. The town was
wiped from the map. Another reVo-
luton was started by the Armenians
against the Turks until the Russians
came. When the Russians were
forced to retire the evolutionists and
the missionaries in that part of the

Just few days after S-le departure OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard. On the way
out, Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard saw band
of Kurds in the act of Riding a viii

practiced upon them by the Turks. A
native who represented the Standard
Oil company at Diarbekir was beaten
sentative of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company.
According to the information re-
ceived by Mr.. Maynard, the Germans
are not in sympathy with the killing
and deportation of the Arm en1anS, but
they are powerlesS to stop the perpe-
tration of the Turkish outrages. A
German lady, Mrs. Speaker, wife of an
official of the Bagdad railroad, in a
letter to Mr.. Maynard requested him

There are only a few Armenians

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich
creamy lather and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirst. dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves i fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.

AWFUL CONDITIONS PREVAIL

To exterminate the Armenian ma
ton is the purpose of the Turkish gov
eminent, according to a statement
made by Walter Rossler, German con-
sui at Aleppo, to H. A. Maynard, the
American Congregational missionary
Bitlis, Armenia. The whole cause of
the Turkish raids, and massacres of
the ArmenianS are two small revolts
on the part of Arn:enianS which were
fOmented on account of Turkish cruel
ty- Mr.. Maynard left Armenia on May

Turkish atrocities had been perpe-

stroyed.
Miss Shane Believed Safe.
Mr. Maynard said: There is no rea-
son in thinking that Miss Myrtle
Shane is dead simply because no word
has been received to the contrary. L
think she, with the other two women
who were at Bitlis are in some mill
tary hospital as nurses or are with
the Turkish army. If this is the
case they will be taken care of by
the Turkish officials, and will be
submitted to no more than the ordi-
nary hazards that attend the duties of

Topeka they are staying with Mrs.
Maynard's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. o. H.

for seven years, at the end of which
