MoNTCIAIR, n. j.. July saloon
keepers here are disturbed over the pros.
pect that the temporary 'dryness" which
exists here may become permanent. II
IL contended by lawyers aht although
the council expects to grant saloon
licenses a week from tomorrow night il
cannot legally do so. M that the out
come Of the present situation will be
that the saloons will have to remain
closed for another year at least.
The ordinance regulating the issuance
Of licenses provides that a hearing OF
objections shall take place Mt a certain
time and that the council shall take ac-

tended that after the council failed to
grant the licenses on June % no further

MRS. COCHRAN TELLS
 OF SUFFERINGS OF
 PEOPLE IN URUMIAH
Kurdish Plundering and Turkish Rule Has Reduced Citizens to Starva- ton, Writes American
 Mission Worker

New York, July 15.-The Presbyterian foreign mission board made public to- day a letter from Mrs. J. P. Cochran, a mission worker at Urumiah, Persia, writ ten May 20, day after the Turks and Kurds departed because of the approach of superior Russian forces.
 The letter describes sufferings of the people and the missionaries during the occupation by the Turks. Writing of the typhoid scourge, Mrs Cochran says:
 Then we all began to get the typhoid fever. We had some Turkish soldiers in the hospital with it and the people were ignorant and careless and we had an epidemic. We have TOO new-made graves in our compound here at the college as the result of 1t.
 Tn the hospital there was a time when the head physician's assistant. Dr. Daniel, who died with it, the matron, druggist, all the nurses the cook and the bake woman, the steward and wash erwomen were all down together and 250 patients to be taken care of. In the city it was even worse.
 Turkish rule and Kurdish plundering here.'' she adds, reduced the inhabitants to the verge of starvation and as yet the end Is not in sight.
 We have not had a word of war news during 1915 so far and feel as if we were in the bottom of well as far as seeing what is going on is concerned.
 We are still feeding thousands just enough bread every day to keep life in their bodies and have saved the Syrian nation, but have accumulated sS0000 or $4O,000 of debt which we don't know where to find the money to repay."
