the Russians had poured a few days
before. The force had included, &C
cording to all accounts, 500 Cos

completed the work of wreckage.
REFUGEES CHOKE TILSIT.
Half a hundred Russian prisoners
concluded the work of burying
their III dead fellows when the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent left
Memel. The route led back to Til
sit, still choked with refugees. Ever
and again there would appear long
wagon trains of ammunition and
supplies, bound for some point along
the long fighting line, and once in
while batteries of artillery plow-
ing through the deep mud.
A noncommissioned artillery Of
ficer, plodding along toward the
hospital in Tilsit, asked permission
to ride, and told the tale of the
previous days battle. His company,
called in an emergency to act as in
fantry and help defend position
near the border, had been badly
broken up by what he described as
a villainous machine gun fire.

o. MEMEL IN PANIC.
In the place of the 900 landsturm
that formerly had guarded the place
and the whole region surrounding
it-there were thousands of regular
troops. The two hotels were full of
officers and the streets swarmed with
both soldiers and sailors, for in the
harbor lay cruisers and torpedo
boats that had been sent hastily to
Memel to lombard the Russians as
they retreated.
A whole army corps, however,
would not have served to calm the
town completely. It's inhabitants
had suddenly been awakened to
what the war really meant. It's
Mayor lay in the hospital, desper

tween 500 and 600 of the popula-

carried off by the retreating forces.
Shops were wrecked and pillaged.
The scenes of destruction on the
way to Memel had seemed bad
enough, but they could not be placed
in the same category with conditions
to the north and east of the city

before them, and little was left be-

a. m.)-The exodus of from 10000
to 10000 Armenians and HISTORIAN
Christians from AZerbaijan prov
ince, the massacre of over 1900 of
those who were unable to flee, the
death from disease of 1000 in the
compounds of the American mission
in Urumiah and possibly of an equal
number of refugees in the Caucasus
have been confirmed.
When it became known the night
of January IL that the Russian
forces had left Urumiah about 49,
900 Christians fed, most of them
without money, bedding or provis-
IONS
A majority of the people started
out afoot, through mud knee deep,
across the mountain passes in freez-
ing weather. At Gilman they were
joined by many more for Salinas
Plain. But for Father de Cross, of
the Roman Catholic mission at Hos
rova, near here, the disaster might
have become historic. After assur-
ing the safety Of the sisters of the
mission, Father de Cross joined the
pilgrims and managed to secure
bread and shelter for many of them.
The caravansaries were so crowded
that thousands slept in the mud and
snow. Children were, born on the
roadside or in the corner of a cara
vansary.
THREW CHILDREN IN RIVER.
Arriving at Julia, on the Russian
border, passport difficulties added to
the troubles of the fleeing people.
Maddened women threw their chill
dren into the Araxes River or into
pools in order to end their sufferings
from cold and hunger.
Father de Cross had to put his
back against a wall to fight off the
famished mob when he began dis
tributing bread. The mud and cold
and the shelterless nights, during
which the garments of the refugees
were frozen knee high, continued
for three weeks, until the people
were slowly dispersed by rail.
LOUISVILLE MAN REFUGEE.
Isaac Yonan, a graduate of the
Louisville, KY, Theological Semi
nary, was among the refugees. He
kept diary of the happenings dur
ing the exodus. This relates that
among the refugees from Urumiah
was an old man and his two daugh-
ters-in-law with their six young
children, three of them babes in
arms. After his eight days on the
way, averaging twenty miles daily
through the mud, the old man be-
came stuck in pool, and at his own
request was left there to die. One
woman gave birth to child during
the march, and an hour afterward
was again plodding along with the
other refugees.
Two of the children were lost in
a caravansary, but were taken up by
Cossacks along with forty other per-
sons. The soldiers displayed great
humanity, often giving up their
horses to the women.
One young woman carried her
father for five days, when he died.
John Mooshie, graduate of Col
gate University, an editor of the
Urumiah Star, related tale of the
when 200 vehicles be-
came stalled in a pass and which
continued until Russian soldiers

The rain turned to binding snow
through which the automobile slip

Tilsit to Pilkallen. Pilkallen used
to bear a very lively reputation be-
cause of it's rum shops, but all that
is left of them now is wrecked in

of the thousands who formerly lived
in the place are still there, wander

DESTROYED BIT BY BIT.
In all the city there is not atrace

The Russians, so the inhabitants

"City of the Dead" by an otherwise

The approach to Schirwindt leads
along broad. tree-lined boulevard.
For miles one can see the tall, two
spired church that stands as an out
post for the city. Here almost for the
first time were indications of a bonn
bardment, for both the towers had
been riddled by shells from big guns,
and the roof in half dozen places
is gaping.
Schirwindt's only living "inhabi-
tants" are flocks of carrion crows
that were devouring the carcasses of
the horses killed in the battles there.
The birds rose in black clouds as the
automobile approached and circled
overhead until it was gone.

Months ago the pews in the
church were ripped away to make
room for horse stalls, and over all
the dust is thick. Empty cartridge
shells litter the floor both of the
church and of the houses that were
used for defensive purposes. At the
entrance of the house of worship
there stares out the ironical sign,
with a soldiers riddled
