THE REAL ARMENIA REVEALED.
British Red Cross Worker Told Barre
Audience an Interesting Story,


Valuable information concerning the
Armenian people who are to be included
in the benefactions to accrue from the
nation wide drive for funds for relief in
the near East from Jan. IL to II was
given most interestingly last night at q
union service in the Congregational
church by Thomas Heald British Red
Cross worker who has recently been en-
gagged in the Caucasus. Under his exposi-
tion the Armenians were revealed as an
industrious, progressive people with a
splendid history but dominated by the
Turks for centuries and massacred so
that they have been reduced from 100000
900 to 100000.
Probably the most rapid defamation
has taken place during the period of the
present war when the population was
reduced by one and one half millions
through the Turkish deportation, which
was another name for massacre. While
not attempting to ALLEVIATE sympathy
from the Belgians, who were the first
sacrifice in the war, Mr.. Head showed by
comparison how much more the Arme-
mans have suffered than the Belgians.
At the outset of the war the Belgians
HumDeIeu ABOUT ofuuUOpV people, ana OF
that number 10000 were massacred. The
Armenians numbered 100000 at the be-
ginning of the war and there are now
only 100000.
Turkey framed as an excuse for this
atrocity, said the speaker, that the Ar.
menians had deserted and were fighting
with the Russians against the Turks;
but those who know of the continual
massacres of the Armenians by the
Turks during the last six or seven cen

turtles are not misled by any such excuse
Mr.. Head went on to tell how valorous
the Armenians are in battle. He related
how 400 or 500 Armenian volunteers
mainly from the United States, who had
gone to Russia to enlist to fight against
the Turks in this war, captured the city
Of Bitlis from the Turks after the leader
of the whole Russian army on that front
had refused to make the attack on the
ground that victory was impossible, there
being but one approach for an army and
:. hat through narrow pass where the
4ttacking force would be ambushed
However, he was willing that the small
Armenian force should experiment as
much as it desired So the 400 or 500
Armenians crept up the side of the noun
tains, avoiding the pass, until they
reached points dominating the city. Then
they sat on their rifles and skidded down
the snow clad hills upon the city in the
valley, making tremendous noise to
| brighten the Turks into the belief that q
great army was upon them. The ruse
worked and the Turks fled from the city
but not before quite number were cap
tured. Then the leader of the Armenians
sent back word TO the Russian comman-
der that the city had been captured and
that it would be well for him to come
and occupy it. The Russian commander
decided to do so, and the city was held
by the Russians for year
| When the Red Cross workers went
among the Armenians they found that
the Armenans were anxious to go Ia
work; so vast industries were started up
and thousands of the poor people were
set to work under their own directors
but with the British and the Americans
as managers. They did not want out
right gifts; they wanted the chance to
earn by their own labor.
Mr.. Head also showed how ancient Ar
