He was asked about the outcome OF

He said that shells. mon, strategy

that the allies were hanging on by
their toes in the Dardanelles, and that
unless 100000 men are put there
the Dardanelles will never be taken.

LONDON, October 9. 10:l5 p.m.-An
Englishman who recently arrived at .
Mediterranean port from Turkey writes
In reference to the Armenian mas
sacres that 'tke tale Is awful: the out
look is hopeless" He continues: THE
inhabitants Of cities like Zeitun and
Hadjin have been driven out like cat
tie and made to march long distances
under the burning sun, hungry and
thirsty. A large number from Zeitun
recently reached Adana utterly des-
titute. many others having been left
to die on the road. More than thou
sand families from Hadjin recently ar
rived at AIeppo in the last degree Of
misery. and yet the purpose is to send
them much further. Husbands were
forcibly separated from their wives
and sent to places long distances apart.
Children similarly were separated from
their parents"
Another writer states:
"Twenty-eight thousand persons are
being removed by order of the govern
ment from the district of Zeitun and
Marash to distant places in strictly
non-Christian communities. Thousands
already have been sent into the prov
inces of Konia, Keasrea and Kasta-

Local pastors and priests, with their

can predict. The sick drop by the
