Sourp Garabed, Navort decided to seek
refuge with them.


At last one night she arrived at an
Armenian camp, fainting from hunger
and exhaustion, the only survivor of
her group, and it was here that she
told her story. In few hours the
little boy died from malnutrition and
exposure. Five days later, after all
her brave struggle, Navort was captured
and killed by party Of searching
Kurds.
Another refugee has told of similar
experiences to those Of Navort TAX
vorian, but in addition to all the other
tortures the women of her band were
stripped of every vestige of clothing
and forced to travel in this condition
under the scorching sun. In each
village they passed through they were
Knocked and jeered at by the rabble.
Among these unfortunates was a very
young girl, who confided to COM
panion that she would never go back
to town in her present condition. That
night she leaped from high cliff and
ended her troubled life.
A teacher and missionary told me
that wherever they went they found
starvation and disease, and as a pre.
caution against plague and typhus they
always used quantities of camphor in
their clothing.
Her trip through Asia Minor was a
nightmare never to be forgotten. It
seemed that some poor victim of the
plague was carried out from almost
every house she passed, and to her
eating seemed impossible, when she
saw the crowd of starving faces that
would gather at the windows. The
little food she could obtain was wholly
inadequate to relieve such numbers.
Each day this woman visited the
refugee camps, and finally took into
her own family little Armenian girl
about eight years of age.
Sara was n pathetic little figure, gro.
tesquely clad in clothes much too
large for her frame, her head from
dire necessity shaven and bound UP
in handkerchief. Her face was alb
solutely expressionless, and her ac-
tions entirely automatic even when eat
ing. To all the other children's ef-
forts to draw her into play there was
no response. Always silent and indif-
ferent, she watched the games with
unseeing eyes, and those about her be-
gan to fear for her mentality. How,
ever, much to the surprise of the chill
dren, after several weeks one of them
suddenly noticed change in Sara, and
running to her mother in great ex-
citement, said: Sara has smiled
From that day Sara made rapid prog
ress. and proved to be not only quite
normal, but unusually intelligent. She
was not only perfectly familiar with
the Armenian and Turkish languages
but very soon learned English also
This strange mental condition had been
caused by shock from the appalling
scenes which she had witnessed, too
horrible for the childish mind to en-.
dure.

4 SPECTACULAR shooting Of one
~ Hindu by another in San
Francisco court last Tuesday
recalled to the world the almost for
gotten fact that one of the most gran
diose Of the farce-tragedies of the war
has not quite been played out. The
end is sordid enough, but the drama in
the playing has brought death to thou
sands, from American jails to the
slopes of the Himalayas. It's stage was
set with all the romance and mystery
of India and her amazing vases, and
across the boards moved picturesque
pawns with which the German Kaiser
played for an empire.
Thirty-two men had been on trial
since November 20 for violating the
neutrality Of America by plotting revo
luton against British rule in India
German consular officers, Indians and
American business men.
The evidence was all in. Counsel for
the defendants had been heard, and the
United States Attorney, John W. Pres
ton, had just completed his closing
argument. The bark Of an automatic
broke the silence of the courtroom, and
Ram Chandra, who had just left his
chair, fell, shot through the heart. Two
more bullets entered his body before it
touched the floor.
The murderer was Ram Singh, CO.
defendant with Ram Chandra and for
merly his associate in publishing
revolutionary paper. AS he turned to
strike down another victim, his finger
pressed against the trigger, James B.
Holohan, United States marshal, fired
over the heads of the panic-stricken
spectators from the opposite side of
the courtroom, instantly killing him.
Holohan is q giant, but Preston stood
between him and Ram Singh. To get
his man he fired with the revolver held
high above his head, the bullet break
ing Ram Singh's neck.

The Iron Mountain Press butts In
to the controversy regarding the abil-
ity OF the local board TO secure sleep
ing car transportation for the recruits
that left here for Fort Wheeler
We respectfully refer the Press to
the letter OF Adjutant General Ber-
sey and TO the message Of Gen. Ber-
sey which he sent to Washington in
an effort to get sleeping cars for this
contingent and was turned down. The
Press is guessing. and is mistaken in
its guess. The local board has not
the power to dictate the equipment.
All OF this fuss was occasioned by
the fact that the Milwaukee road did
furnish sleeping cars 10 the boys who
went from the copper country and
Dickinson county to Fort Wheeler.
We were told by the secretary OF the
Keweenaw county board that neither
the board nor the people OF his coun-
ty had anything TO do with the Sc
curing OF the sleepers: that he was
very much surprised when the train
OF sleepers was run in. The facts are
no doubt the same in Dickinson coun-
ty, the statement OF the Press to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

McRAE WINS AGAIN

A. ID. McRae OF Palatka, Michigan
was awarded verdict OF $9,S69.05 by
jury In the circuit court OF Gogebic
county on Tuesday. The suit, which
was originally brought against McRae
by the board OF education OF Wakefield
township. alleging non-fulfillment of
contract in the driving of sewer tun-
mel through the trap blum on the
north side of Sunday Lake, has been
closely followed by contractors and
attorneys because of its many unusual
features.
In the first trial, held In the Goge-
bic circuit court two years ago, at
which Judge Collingwood OF Lansing,
presided. McRae set up n counter
claim against the school district, and
instead of obtaining judgment for a
substantial sum in favor OF the dis
trlct. as the plaintiff hoped, the jury
decided that McRae was entitled TO
board or education. An appeal was
taken, and the supreme court set
aside the verdict and ordered new
trial The second trial was conclud-
ed Tuesday. with the result already
noted.
McRae maintained I'm both trials

changed after the contract was
