A RUSSIAN ARMY CAMP IN TURK
1SH ARMENIA. June THE Russian
army that is in pursuit Of the elusive
Turks in this region have, at this writ
ing, reached the valley of the Habur,
an aff1uent of the Tigris, at point
sixty miles south of Van.
June the right flank of the Russian
forces engaged the Turks under HalIid
Bey. near the Tigris, and fought until
nightfall, when the Turks made off into
darkness. The Armenian volunteers,
who are doing some of the best fight
ing for the Russians, began the battle
at o'clock in the morning and sus-
tanned 1t along an open ground until
noon, when Gen. It's cavalry from Sarai
came into action. The artillery was
brought up in the afternoon. but by
then Hallid Bey had taken a position
on inaccessible mountains and since
then there has been no contact with
him.
Whatever may be true of atrocity
stories from other sources. it is GER
tainly a fact that the warfare in Ar
menia has resulted in the killing OF
more non-combatants than soldiers, ano
it is doubtful If there is any other
area in the world where the war is sc
plainly a case of murder.
