EYE WITNESS TELLS Of HORRORS Of
TURKISH DETERMINATION Of ARMEN|ANS

New York. Oct l5.-Burial alive
OF babies In trenches with the bodies
OF their mothers, who had been
slaughtered or allowed to perish
from exposure. was practiced by the
Turks in their work OF externiinat-
ing the Armenians. 1t was declared
here today by the Rev. Henry ii.
Riggs. missionary OF the American
board OF commissioners for foreign
missions to Harput, Turkey. who
recently came back to this country.
"A trench was dug beside a camp ot
Armenian women. he said. and as
they met death the survivors were
forced to drag their bodies to II and
bury them.
The gendarmes said they could
not take care OF the babies that were
left behind so many OF those were
buried with their mothers" DR..
Riggs said. when visited this
camp | frequently saw Turks wan
dering about among the Armenians
picking out pretty girls and little
children to take away to their
homes. Some mothers told MS that
they themselves had thrown their
babies into the Euphrates river rath-
err than allow them to be taken to
Moslem homes. Many more threw
themselves into the river to escape
a bondage OF shame worse than
death.
About Is miles from Harput is q
lake hidden from sight with many
ravines about II. We were told that
the Armenian exiles we're being
killed and left In these ravlnes. Two
Americans investigated and brought
back photographs and actual facts.
They saw in a 20-mile ride 10000
human bodies. most Of them killed
by the bayonet. With few excep-
tions they were women and children
and the mangled condition Of their
bodies showed the horrible fate that
has been theirs"
The story Of the deportation OF
the Armenians of Harput is one of
"perfidy. violence and murder" DR..
Riggs went on. adding, at is nearer
to the truth to say the Turkish gov
ernment undertook the extinction of
the Armenian population" After
the issue OF an edlct for all Arme-
mans to go to Mesopotamia. he said.
there came the arrest OF all the men
OF standing.

WAR SPIRIT FUND
MOST IMPORTANT
Military Authorities Impress the
Need of Sending American Troops
Abroad With Right Spirit

Washington. Oct. I5.-The ma
tlonal committee on which many OF
the country's prominent men and
women are serving, named by Secre-
tary OF War Baker to handle the
war camp communlty-recreatlon
fund. has secured the cooperation
OF the Playground and Recreation
Association OF America. and will
use the later organizations corps OF
experienced workers In carrying out
the purposes OF the fund among the
80 soldier camps scattered over the
country.
Victor r. Manning. one OF the
field secretaries OF this association,
explaining their plans regarding
this fund, says:
Army authorities visiting the
training camps In Europe. and the
camps Just behind the firing lines,
bring home to us the imperative
need of instilling INTO the soldiers
going abroad from this country a
spirit OF determination to do their
best. and particularly to prevent
their getting into the train OF
thought that they are adrift. unim-
portant atoms In a vast machine,
which expects OF them only that
they undertake risks and perhaps
give up their life. II has been the
universal experience among other
recruits that those who have been
given the rousing send-off at home,
who have been shown that personal
attention which make sthem feel
that they are fighting for people who
appreciate their sacrifices. have
been the troops that have brought
home the victories. Military authori'
ties say they cannot too strongl,
emphasize the importance OF instil'
ling some such spirit into our new
troops"
This is matter which the pa
ternal hand OF the government can
not handle alone. They can drill
and furnish equipments. but no one
but the home people can give the
men the right kind Of fighting
spirit"
= II is to carry out this imperative
adjunct to camp training that this
organization. at the request OF Sec-
retary Baker. has asked for small
fund from the people OF the nation
Grants Pass has been asked for Its
quota which is small. The Cham
ber OF Commerce has responded that
II will be forthcoming. and 1t goes
without saying that the people OF
the city will back up the promise
