Bitlis Is An Armenian City
Figuring Much In History

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 22.-Bit-
lis, the Armenian city from which the
Russians conceded their retirement re-
Gently in the face of a superior Turk
ish force, is the subject of the follow
ing war geography bulletin issued to-
day from the Washington headquar-
tiers of the National Geographic So
city.
with its thick walled houses built
OF volcanic rock, the town of Bitlis,
spreading over the steep banks of the
Bitlis Chat, a tributary of the Tigris,
is one of the most picturesque COM
munities of Asia Minor. It's inhabi-
tant, $4,000 in number, one third of
whom are Armenians and the others
OF Kurdish descent, are largely engag-
cd in the manufacture Of coarse red
cloth, while their commercial activities
are chiefly confined to the export of an
inferior grade of tobacco and the gath
ering and shipment of gym tragacanth.
"Bitlis for hundreds of years has
been town of great strategic import
ance because it is situated on the main
highway between the Van plateau and
the plains of Mesopotamia. Lake Van
is only so miles to the east; Mush is 40
miles to the northeast, and Erzerum a
little more than 100 miles in the same
direction. Roads lead through noun
tain pass in southerly direction to-
ward Mosul, which is more than $50
miles distant in an airline.
Owing to its elevation, nearly a
mile above sea level, Bitlis suffers
greatly from snowstoTms, and it not
infrequently happens that many of its
narrow streets are blocked by snow
drifts for four or five months of the
year, although the temperature seldom
falls below zero.
Like many of the towns in this
morning land of history Bitlis has
had a most interesting past. Fact and
fable are so intricately interviewer,
however that the readers of Kurdish
literature finds it equally lard to be
wholly credulous or altogether skept-
zeal. One of the most interesting ira
ditions of the town concerns the site
OF the ruins of castle occupying the
triangle at the juncture of two streams
near the center of the city. Here Alex
ander the Great is said to have built a
fortress during his campaign of world
conquest. Nineteen centuries later,
almost under the shadow Of this castle,
the great Turkish sultan, Soloman, the
Magnificent, met one of his few de-
feats at the hands of the Persians
whom he subdued many times, just
as he DEFEATED many European armies
On the plains and in the mountain

subject of the great Mongol war lord,
Tamerlane, was appointed to rule this
part of Kurdistan after the conquest of
D1arbekir. The official entrusted with
this duty was Amir Quara Uthman
BLACK Lord Uthman), who, instead of
perpetrating such cruelties as did his
master in building a pyramid of 1000
human beings piled up with alternate
layers Of brick and motar, conquered
the land by matrimony. Taking a
daughter of the noble Kurdish family
Of Hakkari as his wife Quara Uthman
soon won his way into the affections
of the people, so that when Tanner
LANES power began to wane this vice
roy was able to retain a strong hold
upon the mountain tribes. Uthmans
descendants adopted the title of Primo
es of Bitlis and they held sway in this
region for more than four centuries.
The last of this remarkable line was
Sharif Bey who held out against the
preponderant power of the Turks for
several years during the first half Of
the 18th century but was finally de-
feated and taken captive to Constan-
tinople in 1s49.
"The Kurds, who constituted two
thirds of the population of Bitlis and
who have held sway in this mountain
Gus region of Asia Minor for many
centuries, have been variously ap-
praised by travellers. One extreme
view is that they are destitute of
annals as the wolves and jackals
anon whom they have lived in the
high mountains from immemoriat
times while the writer who estimates
the other side of the shield of their
character speaks glowingly of the
mountaineers thus; Every nation that
ever acquired fame and name in the
eastern worlds history-Assyrian Par
THAN, Greek, Roman, Persian, the
Arabs, Mohammedans and Mongols-
has invaded this part of western Asia,
yet the holders of the hills and the
possessors of the tongue" have with
stood every army and have retained the
purity of their Aryan blood and theid
Aryan language
Concerning the origin of the Kurds
there are two picturesque Persian le-
gends. The first relates that at the
suggestion of the devil the serpents Of
the NEUROLOGICAL monster zohak were
regularly fed upon human brains. Two
youths who had been condemned to
have their heads robbed for serpent
sustenance escaped death by substitut-
ing goats brains for their own. These
youths became the progenitors of the
Kurds.
"The other legend is a bit more
erotic, as if it had come from the mem
tai loom which wove the tales of the
Thousand And One Nights 1t relates
that during his campaign for the col
lection Of 700 wives, King Solomon or
