In very one-sided base ball game
the Sd Battalion, 6sd Infantry, de-
feated a team composed of soldiers
from the LIST and I'd battalions Of the

toward the Sd Battalion's run-getting.
Meyers pitched well. but could not
very well put heart into his work. be-
cause Of rotten support. Penaluma

While most people are aware of the
hard lot of the ArmenianS under the

Private Vahan Mardigian of the list

through is enough to cause one to
become beside himself with rage at
the mere mention of the name Turk.
Private Mardigian's father, mother
and three sisters were massacred by
the Turks several years ago. After
their deaths, he succeeded in escaping
to this country-this was in 1913. His
two brothers were not so fortunate,
however, as they were caught and
forced to enter the sultan's army,
where Mardigian believes they have
long since lost their lives, as he has
received, no word from them since
