next morning. Constantly in and out
between closely laid stretchers, not one
man made a groan, not one man pitied
wounded endured their pain and the
additional pain of redressing without a
murmur. The man to whom the life-
ing of his head and shoulders so that
ne might drink must have giver addi-
tlonal pain gave no sign save Of his
grateful appreciation. The man whose
wounded foot | accidentally touched as
he sat on a crowded bench met nv
apology b., smilingly saying it war
nothing. The man whose jaw was so
badly smashed that he could not have
wounds we're such that drink must not
be given them were just as grateful for
a spoonful of water with which to vet
their parched lips and throats as
! though for a cupful. The courage and
, tortltude of the men is thing never
to be forgotten.
Their chivalry also knows no bounds
as Just this incident will show: About
O'Clock we had to refuse drinks oi
water TO unwounded German prisoners
as our water supply was very nearly
giving out and we could not be sure Of
the early arrival of water cart. AL

taxing as any. and lastly the battalion
runners, who keep up the difficult com
munlcatlons between front and rear and
between the lines, a business full of
risks and terribly trying.
Inc German wounded were amazed at
their unexpected good treatment. Un-
wounded German prisoners acting as
Stretcher bearers appreciated it SO
highly that one batch, who accidentally
got lost by their guard, came back to

Owed Their Lives
To American Flag

It was not easy to realize that this
large company owed actual life itself
to the American flag, and that had it
not been for the resourcefulness OF the
American missionaries all those women
would have been violated, and all. or
most. of the men killed. Moreover, less
than two years ago not person IN
that church had possessed anything but
the clothes he or she had worn in
fight from the village; and, thanks to
American relief funds, the village has
been rehabilitated and is on q SELF
supporting basis. Those five hundred
Christians were but fraction Of the
fifteen thousand who took refuge under
the American flag when the Russians.
at the beginning Of 1915, evacuated
Urumia and the Turks and Kurds
entered.
Both resourcefulncss and courage
we're displayed by the resident Ameri-
can missionaries when this stunning
blow unexpectedly fell upon the city
On the first day Of the new year. They
are not novices to the perils of the
East in Urumia, for the Presbyterian
Mission has been established on this
spot for eighty years, and some Of the
workers are second generation mis-
sionaries. 1t is as natural for the Oft
harried Syrians to turn to the Ameri-
cans for help as it is for hurt child
to fly to its mother. So when the
Turks and Kurds came down upon the
plain like wolves Of the mountains
tho Christian villagers and city dwell
ers instinctively rushed to the Ameri-
can Mission compound, where they all,
high aud low, had been accustomed to
carry their troubles.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-03
$4,000 Refugees
Within the Enclosure

The Western world has not the ex-
periencc to enable it to visualize the
throng that besieged the gate Of the
compound wherein the Americans
dwclt- There are two American prem
ises, those in the city and those on the
outskirts, where tho college and hos
pital are established. It was to the
city compound that the refugees chiefly
fed. until they numbered at least
fifteen thousand. Even after they had
been extended for siege purposes, by
taking in the Anglican Mission and
tho residences Of neighboring Chris
tians, the grounds did not exceed six
acres in extent, and this mostly COW
cred by buildings. There is no large
lawn or tennis court or other open
space. Existing buildings were already
being used to their fullest extent for
the purposes Of the work.
Nevertheless. into these narrow
quarters poured day after day, in end
less stream. thousands of men, women
and children, every one with a story to
tell Of escape from the Moslems- -some
Of them, alas! the only survivors OF
their families. There were mothers who
had seen their husbands and sons slain
before their eyes, and their daughters
Of tenderest years torn from their
arms for a fate worse than death-for
in some villages every girl and woman
from eight years to eighty, was raw
ished. One must come to the Orient
10 learn the part that lust and loot
play in every strife in which Moslem
is concerned.

TAXI CAB RATES
TOO HIGH NOW

give the taXicab owners everything
they ask for are preparing an ordi-
nance increasing taXicab charges and
soaking citizens who patronize them.
