The Tragedy Of Armenia and Syria.

Quite the most appalling stories of suffering,
bodily and mentally, which have come from the
war stricken countries of Europe and Western
Asia have come from those portions of the Turkish
Empire known Armenia and Syria, though prop
erly speaking there are now no such nations as
Armenia and Syria. But there are Armenians and
Syrians, about 100000 of them in all, under the
rule of the Turk
OF the 100000 Armenians, 10000 have per-
ished from actual slaughter, exposure, hunger,
torture drowning and from sheer mental distress
and shame. Modern history does not furnish a
parallel to the fearful suffering of the Armenians.
Lord Bryce says very conservatiVey that not since
the time of Tamerlane has the world witnessed
such persecution, desttution and wholesale slaugh-
ter. Most of those who have pershed have been
old men, women and children, the youths and able
bodied men being already in the Turkish armies.
- A quarter of million Armenians are refugees
in several countries, chiefly Russia. About I,ooo
900 remain nearly all in destitute, dying condi-
ton
The Armenian atrocities furnish an incredible
story They are "a chapter in the history Of

700 pages compiled from stories of eyewitnesses

women ana girls have been shut up IN buildings
and burned to death in wholesale fashion, that in
whole towns not one woman or girl has escaped
nameless outrages that literally thousands have
been placed RATS and pushed off in rivers to
drown, that the populations of whole districts
were forced to march day and night with no
apparent destination, not allowed to carry sup
plies, and not allowed to stop even for water

Armenians were living upon grass Now the
