auccs who are able to make the pur-
chase t. the necessity of aiding the
Government by the loan of this
money, Such service entities a woman

crty Loan League, which is woman's
way of serving the country at this
critical time.

man of the Woman's Liberty Loan

THE DREAM

All, / sigh tonight, as a rhyme ]
weave
From a magic reel of the past,
Whose thread was spun from the
fleece Of those years
Whose colors too bright were to last
A spell of the past is upon me to-
night,
Of the past of my youthful prime,
And love roams back thru long
checkered years
To those days of the oldcn time
All, | see the old home or the hill
side,
Where tall oaks their cool shadows
threw,
Where roses and stately white lilies,
Pale hyacinths and violets grew.
See the ingleside warm in the winter
Where were grouped in its rudy
glare
All the loved of my heart-each dear
one
Memory sees not a vacant chair.
All! could you come back. sunny
years of the past,
Come back with your Joy, cen your
Not a faithless, passionate dream
as tonight,
But a real, glad, happy tomorrow!

TURKS BURY ALIVE MANY
THOUSANDS OF BABIES;
400, 1000 ORPHANS LEFT

New York, Oct. l4.-Burial alive OF
babies in trenches with the bodies OF
their mothers. who had been slaugh-
tered or allowed to perish from eX-
posure. was practiced by the Turks
in their work of discriminating the
Armcnians. it was declared here to-
day by the Rev. Henry H. Riggs, mis-
s|ionarv 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 of Armenian wo-
men, he said, and as they met death
their bodies to it and bury them.
Babies In. The Way
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.. Rig
Is said. "When I visited this camp
| frequently saw Turks wandering
about among the Armenians picking
out pretty girls and little children
to take away to their homes. Some
mothers tod us that they had them
selves thrown their babies into the
Euphrates river rather 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.
Ravines Filled With Bodies
about fifteen miles from Harput
is a lake hidden from sight with
many r~avines about it. We were told
that the Armenian exiles were being
killed and left in these %ravines, Two
Armenians investigated and brought
back photographs and actual facts.
They saw in a twentv-mile ride 10000
human bodies. most of them killed
with the bayonet. With a few ex-
ceptions they were women and child
rem and the mangled condition of
their bodies showed the horrible fate
that had been theirs"
The story of the deportation of the
Armenians of Harput is one of "per-
fidy. violence and murder" DR.. Riggs
went on, adding, ut is nearer to the
to say the Turkish government
undertook the extinction of the Ar
menian population" After the issue
of an edict for all Armenians to go
to Mesopotania, he said, there came
the arrest of all the men of stand
ing.
Tied In Little Groups
"They were sent out on the road
tied together in groups of two to
five" he said, "driven and beaten by
the gendarmes. OF the first party
of 800, one young man survived to
tell the story of what happened. The
party was taken into a ravine and
ordered to sit down. he told me. Then
the gendarmes climbed up on the sur-
rounding rocks and fired with their
rifles into the crowd of bound pri-

"Often the routes chosen took the

thousands persisted from thirst. |
passed through such a region where
thousands of bleached skeletons each
side the way told the story of a
waterless journey across the plains
in August
Crazed By Starvation
THE people who passed through
Harput from the north usually spent
two or three days in camp within
sight of my home. The sights we
saw there can never be forgotten.
They were absolutely without shell
ter, day or night, from heat or cold.
The air was unspeakably foul from
dead bodies lying near. AS we ap-
preached the women and children
came around us like hungry wolves,
all restraint lost in the one desire
for a piece of bread
The sick and dying lay around
under the blazing sun with no one 10
care for them, waiting for the end.
One place | saw a row of twelve dead
women and children who had been
lying in the shade of trees. With
them was one little baby still alive.
The shade had shifted and the burn
ing August sun had fallen on them
and killed them. A long trench was
dug beside the field where these peo-
pie were encamped. The people them
selves were obliged to dig and fill
it. AS 500 as one died she was
dragged to the trench"
$4,000 Have Perished
In January, 1916, DR.. Riggs said.
there were 1850 deported Armen-
ians in Mesopotamia, while in May
1917 the most careful investigation
showed only 10000 survivors, more
than three-quarters having persisted
from famine. pestilence and massacre
in fifteen months.
"The only bright feature of this
terrible picture is the help that has
actually reached a fraction of these
people through relief funds from A.
merica's ever ready generosity" DR..
Riggs said. "1n Harput we were able
to give daily rations of bread to
nearly 5000 widows and orphans. If
more money hal come there were
10000 within reach equally in meet.
Upon. the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tons, the Turkish government con-
fiscated our food supplies and many
of these people persisted of hunger"
Since then, however, DR., Riggs con-
tinued, arrangements have been made
continue. the relief work through
neutral agents who are disbursingI
the funds and supplies gathered
through the American committee for
Armenian and Syrian relief in New
York city. The question of saving
the remnant of the Armenian race,
he said, can be solved only by A
merican generosity.
100000 Orphan Children
"The Armenian men are dead" he
said, "and the women have been
crushed and canot long survive the
terrible experiences through which
they have passed. But there are AGO.
600 orphan children, most of whom
are begging their bread today. The
hope of the future is in gathering
together these remnants and saving
them for the seed of the future Ar
race. If they can be fed and
housed and educated for the next
years they can constitute the
progressive element in the
life of a new Turkey Is their fathers
did in the old"
