IN LAND OF HISTORIANS.
British and Russian Forces Push
War Into East Syria.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
MESOPOTAMIA, April 10.-The war in
border has carried the British and Rus
sian armies into the country of the
HISTORIANS. or East Syrians, who claim
that the first tidings of Christianity
were brought to them by the three wise
men of the east, writes the British
official eyewitness with this army. Two
of the wise men who sought the birth
place of Christ are reported to have
been natives of Urmia, in northern Per-
STA. and their tombs are pointed out in
town.
The HISTORIANS are now but rem
nant of once powerful community
and are ruled by the Turks. They
dwell mostly between Mosul. Lake Van
and Lake Urmia, near the Turco-Per-
sian border. They are divided into two
sections, the Ashiret, or free tribes
men, and the Ryat. or subject people.
Included in the Ryats are the Chal-
deans, who dwell in the villages of the
Mosul plain and in the chief towns on
the Tigris river from Diarbekr to Bas-
ra The ChaldeanS are under the in
huence of the Church of Rome. while
the others retain their ancient faiths.
Some of the HISTORIANS are very war
like.
OF those who dwell along the upper
Tiari river, every man possesses rife
or gun and carries a 'hanjar. or dag
ger.
The HISTORIAN is very religious. On
Sundays he Will not defile his mouth
by uttering a word of the Kurdish Ian
guage, which he regards as vile.
