MOVE IS STARTED
 ID AID CHILDREN
 ORPHANED BY FLU

Mrs. Thomas Riggs. Jr, wife of Governor Riggs, and other Juneau ladies. have started a movemen. to assist in providing for the native children of the Seward peninsula who have been orphaned by the IT. f:uenza epidemic.
 The building of a home for their accommodation is planned, for which purpose a total sum of S5O0O is to be raised. The whole amount when raised is to be handed over to Bishop Crimont, of the Roman Cath ollie mission, on the twenty-first an niversary of his service in Alaska, and Bishop Crimont is to be ap- pointed the administrator of the fund.
 The leaders of the movement ask that Fairbanks, Nenana and Brooks, collectively, contribute the sum of $500 toward this fund. Juneau. alone has already raised the sum of s3oo0.
 A meeting was held last night in the library of the Roman Catholic church at Fairbanks for the purpose of preparing plans for the cam paign, and Mrs. George Preston was named chairman, and George Hutchinson secretary and treasurer for the moneys to be collected. The following were appointed com mittee to conduct the campaign for funds: Mrs. John Raap, Mrs. John Davis, Mrs. P. J. Leblanc, Miss Eva Delaney and Mrs. Joe Mcdonald.
 It is proposed to build the home near some hot springs, about fifty miles from Nome This is con- sidered the most ideal place for agricultural purposes, as all of the vegetables which will be used at the proposed home will be raised on the grounds adjoining the building.

GIRL RELATES
 P|1|FUL TALE OF
 TURK SAVAGERY


 pitiful stories of savagery practiced by Turks or Circassians upon the Armenians deported during the war from their homes into the country of the Arabs is told by Victoria Varshahdian, girl of eighteen years. Her story has been made public here by the American Com mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief. The girl was the daughter of a well-to-do merchant who had a shop in Constantinople and an- other at Nevsher, Turkey, where the family lived.
 In her narrative to a British physician she said that her father and four brothers were deported and that her father died while on the journey, from a blow inflicted by a gendarme. Carrying their little fortune of 92000 in gold, they were marched south to the vicinity of Deir-Es-Zor (probably on the Euphrates river). There they found a great congregation of refugees, said to number 1000 families.
 While at Deir-Es-Zor, Murad or Suvar, the girl said twenty Ar menian priests were taken from among the refugees, bound to- gether, sent away and killed. In the river at Suvar she saw one hundred bodies of men, women and children, some with their heads of.
 After collecting a ransom, the Mutessarif ordered the men of the refugees brought before him 'to sign a paper" The next day she said she saw the Circassians shoot down three hundred of them. Then the Mutessarif, Zeki Bey. ordered nine of the bodies of the Armenians placed in the road and drove his carriage over them. He announced that he would kill all the male refugees over two years old. Up to that time her brother had es- caped death by bribery, but he was taken away with others, and or leaving, said to his mother: Moth CT, I am going to die. Give me your hand and I will kiss it. For give me anything I have done wrong to you. Goodbye" Her brother was shot before Victoria's eyes. i
 She declared also that she saw Armenians killed by driving wooden stakes through them; that two were buried alive by the Arabs, and that eventually the Circassians be- gan to kill all the women and chil- dren with their knives. Her de- scription of this massacre is too awful to be told, for she gave de- tails of the fendish manner in which it was accomplished.
 Afterward Victoria was separated from her mother and sent to the tent of an Arab, where she re- mained for two weeks. In that period, she said, she saw two hun dred small boys from Meskeneh brought through Deir-Es-Zor to Shadad;es and saw these children killed in various ways and thrown or kicked into the river. .,
 She escaped from the Arabs tent, was recaptured by the Arabs with two other girls from Harput, but later was allowed to go her way. After year and a half she reach ed Aleppo, where her story was told. She has been informed that her mother and one brother escaped

COFFEE SHORTAGE, TOO
(By Associated Press)

Chicago, July 2.-The American
housewife, already grumbling over
the price of coffee, may have further
complaint to make in the next few
months, for the outlook is anything
but hopeful for the consumer, accord
ing to big dealers here.
eyes, there are good reasons for
the unprecedented prices of today"
said leading dealer to The Associat-
ed Press. "Of course it is difficult to
make the public understand. 1t is
true that there is enough coffee to go
round. But there won't be big sur
plus and besides it will be hard to
make distribution uniform.
Everybody knows of the frost in
Brazil year ago. The cry of short
crop through weather damage had
come from Brazil year after year and
American dealers came to ignore it.
Last year the damage was not false
alarm The normal crop of 100000
bags, weighing 1872 pounds each,
will be reduced this year to 100000.
Some authorities estimate as low as
100000. Brazil has surplus of
100000 bags, but the crop of 1920
is also going to be short because of

that frost and the surplus may moi
suffice. We have just learned the
true extent Of the frost damage"
G. E. McKennedy considered a
leading authority on the coffee mar
ket, explained that stocks held in the
United States now are lighter than
in many years. He said dealers re-
fused to listen to the story of big
damage and instead of buying let
their stocks diminish while waiting
for reduced prices.
The retail price of 45 to 55 cents
a pound for good grades is few cents
higher than the record price immedi-
ately after the civil war. The pres
ent wholesale price is about 81 cents,
it was stated. The lowest price ever
recorded was in 1908 when coffee
could be purchased wholesale 1-2
a pound. The retail price today in
coffee-growing countries is about 10
cents pound.
"To estimate the supply now in
this country is mere guess work."
said Mr.. McKennedy. He indicates,
however, that there was no reason
for alarm over shortage. 4ff
Prohibition probably will make
coffee more popular drink" he
said. "For instance, when Vodka was
taken from the Russians, they began
buying tea so rapidly it was difficult
to get tea in this country.
Proceeding in the theory, the plant
ers of Sac Paulo, the big coffee grow
ing state of Brazil, have raised a
fund of $1,000,000 to be spent in adj
vertising coffee in the United States
in the next four years.
