Turkey Sending Armenians
to Die in Arabian Wilderness

Systematic efforts 30 scatter the Ar
menians of Turkey in the Mesopota-
milan wilderness are reported in re-
cent letter from Constantinople to the
American Armenian Relief Fund. Otto
Aman tactics aim to dispense the Ar
+ menian nation after drafting the men
from eighteen TO fifty into the Turkish
army. The resultant conditions de-
scribed are deplorable.
ut is not only the Armenian popu-
lation of Cilicia which has been de-
ported Wholesale" says the writer;
Armenian communities from all the
provinces of Armenia, from Erzeroum,
Trebizond, Sivss, Harpoot, Bitlis, Van
and Diarbekir Samsoun. Ceasarea and
Ourfa-a population of 1900, 900 are
marching to-day, the stick Of forced
pilgrimage in hand, TO live among
Arabian and Kurdish savage tribes.
They can take little of their prop
erty with them, owing to the impossi-
bility of transportation, and few will
be able to reach the spots designated
for their exile. Those who do will
starve if no immediate relief reaches
them. The scattered people are not al
lowed to send any telegraphic mes
sages, but il will be possible to reach
them somehow or other.
"Profiting from the troubles of the
European powers and from the acqui-
essence Of Germany and Austria, the
Turkish government is executing to-
day the plan of scattering the Ar
menians Of the Armenian provinces.
These people are being removed to
places where the climate is totally un-
suited to them. They are left depend
ing upon the morsels of bread which
the government will throw before them,

For the frst time since Oscar Ham

nate himself and his Manhattan Opera
Company from the grand opera field
for ten years, New York is to have
performances by first class organi-
,ation other than the Metropolitan,
and in an auditorium not used by that
distinguished company.
On Monday evening, October 20, the
Boston Gran Opera Company, with
the Pavlowa Ballet Russo, will make
it's first New York appearance in CO.

it's New York season before that OF the
resident institution starts. There Will
be no conflict between the two hrst
rank grand opera companies, Tor the
visiting organization is to appear In
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, New

Detroit, st. Paul and a few other
United States cities.
The assembling of the various prln-

Have made me slave in their fetter;

You're matchless, in short.
Alas for that magic illusion!-

What might have been song.

An ace with shoot,
