CAPT. 0. \. PETTY
HONOREDBY NATION
Philadelphia Doctor, Hero of
BelIeau Wood, to Get Congress
sional Medal of Honor
SERVED WITH "DEVIL DOGS"

Unusual heroism by a Philadelphia
doctor who remained for hours under
heavy fire in his dressing station during
the battles in Belleau Wood and then
carried a wounded officer to safety when
the station was finally destroyed has
been recognized with an award Of a
Congressional Medal of Honor by Pres
ident Wilson.
The man who was thus signally hon
ored is Captain Orlando H. Petty,
attached during the war to the naval
medical corps. Captain Petty is a
we'll known physician with an Office at
Ridge avenue.
Doctor Petty enlisted in the naval
reserves four days before the United
States entered the war. He left with
the Fifth Regiment Marines, which he
asked to join because of a desire to see
action. With the Devil Dogs he saw
fierce fighting from June until late in
the summer. On June IL he performed
the deed which won him the medal
award.
Under a heavy shellfire he worked
in his dressing station until it literally
fell in flames over his head, when he
wounded officer on his back.
He suffered a severe gassing in the
experience, and was in the hospital for
five or six days, when he insisted on re =
turning to duty. He was cited for brav-
cry by the War Department because
of the action.
Names of nine additional officers and
enlisted men of the navy and marine
corps to whom President Wilson has
awarded the Congressional Medal of
Honor for acts Of extraordinary hero
ism during the war, including one post
humous award, were announced today
by the Navy Department.

WOMEN OF URUMIA
 ARE TREATED BADLY
Rev. Elisha Adams Reads Letter
 Telling Of Atrocities

Rev. Elisha Adams, pastor of the [ Assyrian Mission at the South church, at the evening service for his people Sunday, read a series of letters he had just received telling of atrocities which they are suffering. Two of them told of alm lost unbelievable cruelties and crimes ;.pra acticed upon women, as the following letters, which were read, testify:
 r "Urumia, June 1, 1919. Dear Friends:
 This. is the fifth letter I have written to you and you already know what has befallen us here. Then why dothe consuls not relieve us? Every day we are dying. Is there no deliv- erance for us? Oh,s God, how long wilt thou hide Thy face from us? The families of Dr. Packard; of Surla, wife of John Mooshie, and of Shansha Baboo, with ours. are living in the andurun and the rest of the people in the berun at the government yard. Saturday, May 24, the trouble broke out between Kurds and Persians in the city (Urumia.) They started to fight at five in the morning. The rea- son was the governor of the city tried to arrest the Kurds and on the other mana the huTUS TeSlSleu anu lIlSu LO disarm the soldiers. By 10 aA m. the Kurds were driven out of the city. The. family of pr. Packard and Su-en Mooshie were at the college. Ours. Rabi Yosip's (French teacher) and pr. Oshannas families were in Sar- darie: but pr. Packard, M. Clarisee (French missionary and myself were in the big Mission yards with the hriC nr clx ar-6 ffip to make peace between the Persiars and Kurds, but did not succeed. Then at Il a. m. the Persians attacked the Mission yards. For three or four hours our eyes saw things that can- not be found in history. We all fled to the Dowan khana, while little chill dren were trampled under foot and the cries of the terrified people as- cended to Heaven The Treasury room was filled with the corpses of murdered men and women. I also was taken there to give them over the money, but I found all the safes already broken open and everything taken; only the dead bodies weltering Mos1em friends saw me and saved me from being killed, three of them bringing me to the government yard. l was the firss one to reach here, and it was a mirac G Ghat I was not killed.

hanna Khan; three sons of Petros Yowar; several Armenians; Rabi Surra Mooshie, of Gulpashan She had become a different Womau---lCy- ing, meek, gentle, a new Christian. Among those killed were Surra, mother of Rabi Cherin and Sham sha Oraham; Helena, wife of Mar Bloa; Orahan, of Ireawa; Baran Karap5t: about 70 orphans that Judith had gathered together from houses and streets. Beatrice, daughter of Rabi David, of Dogala, hid herself aNd afterward got safely to this place. Mary Mooshie was hidden by q friend and was brought here.
 We are always weeping for our nation. All our labor and care have been in vain. Find a remedy for us and quickly deliver us from this cap tivity. Our lives are continually in danger. There is no danger for the consuls; let themt come e and take us all to Tabriz. If they had come three days previously, these things would not have happened. Judith had made our house ready for them. In the morning we cry, When will evening come?' and in the evening we desire the morning. Such misery has not been seen before.

Some Moslem friends insisted that 1 only I be saved and others be killed. This was very hard for me. Abso- lutely everything has been taken from the Mission yards and the Allen house was burned. They began to take the | tim bers of the houses and also to de-
 stroy our church, which until now has l been safe. You may know they are l only making excuses that pr. Pack ! ard gave money to the kurdS. Or course, this is not true. If it were true, what have we to do with it? Read David's story. What did tae lambs do? Also there is another fault
 that needs explanation: Destruction
 came not from Ks. outside, but from
 Ms inside. Our city is fortified, no
 water, no bread, 800 loads of our
 wheat are gone. All is fear, hunger
 and anxiety; only get us help and take us out! If you meet with that
 big man he can tell the reasons for this. He was our helper and com- forter. Only Sardadri remains and there are personal reasons for keep ing 1t. We are asking the governor to allow us to go there. He gives permission for us to go, but not for foreigners, and We dare not. We want
 to leave here because our honor has l gone. After so much massacre and ! footing we have become a mockery l to our enemies! Why, Oh, God, have l you turned your face from us? In 1 Hebrews I read, We have become show
 'The first thing is to open a way 1 to Tabriz. There are now very few l ok oif nd a 1 ports If ship with a few foreign l CTS should come we could go safely. 1 Now our Moslem neighbors are say | ing, Y our men went to the Kurdish 1 side.' Of course, this is lie. Would 1 that we had all gone with the kurd5!
 Open the way or we shall die of hun
 ger! There is no money or way Of 1 buying. There were more than 230

Sultana went and brought pr. Pack ard and M. Clarisac and some women
 who were still alive to this place
 Then the governor sent soldiers and a carriage to the college and brought in Mrs. Packard and children and Surea Mooshie and her children. I1aji .Azia Khen, Amir Toman and Haji As Ian Khan (Boglarbeg) went to Sar- darie and brought my wife Judith and the rest who were with her. Agha Lazar's family were kept by Moslem friends and are safe. Then the Nos- lems began bringing in women and girls stripped of their clothing and these Judith redeemed with money.
 May 25, pr. Packard's house, Surea's house and the hospital were footed;
 May 26, the Allen house was burned. The Mission houses are completely de- Stroyed; we have no word concerning
 the condition of the college property.
 It is evident that if Judith had been
 with the captives she would have
 been killed with great cruelty. The
 families of Rabi Yosip (French teacher) and Guergis and Shamsha Baboo (French millet bushes) are safe. Shamsha Baboo himself was killed; also Rabi David. of Dega1s, with his wife and son; Rabi Tons. on (preacher), of Marbeshu, and wife;
 Dr. Alkas, of Ada; Natan, son of Dr.

Strike of Electrical
Workers To Be Localized
No General W'alk-Out C0ntena.
plated by Order Of June 10,
Assures Official of Union
Special Correspondenc

Hpe|tA~ CfTeSpONOeNCS
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, June o.-No gem
eral strike of electrical workers will
be called for June 16, according to an
interview given tonight to The
Tribune representative by Charles
Ford, international secretary of the
International Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers. Mr.. Ford said:
"Places making adjustments by June
Is will not be affected by the strike
called. 1t is evident that the strike
of electrical workers will be called in
places where there are possibilities of
extended troubles, but these conditions
will not interfere with localities having
no grievances, since the local managers
now released from government control
have been given authority to adjust
disputes"
"A few locals may go on strike, but
there will be no general STRIKE" de-
clared Secretary Ford. "This is due
to the release Of the wires by Post
master General Burleson. At least
fifteen locals would have come to a
satisfactory agreement with the COM
psnies month ago, but Burleson had
their hands tied. They couldn't act.
Now the companies arc free to act"
Appeals to commercial associations
and chambers Of commerce throughout
the country asking Intervention were
not mailed from the brotherhood head
quarters here.

meeting of Council No. is of the union,
representing the Eastern section, had
been held here yesterday, and that
plans for urging other trade unions
to render whatever aid was possible
in the strike against the Western
Union and the Postal systems and the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company had been developed. A par
ticular appeal will be made to Typo
graphical Union men who set news
paper dispatches, Mr.. Thomas said.
They will be asked "to protest against
handling stuff taken by 'scab workers
and thus give us their moral. support,
at least"
President Carlton of the Western
Union, who has challenged the union
men to ''go ahead" with their strike
If they can, and "see how it goes" de-
clared yesterday that the scheduled
strike would in no way interfere with
the service of his company
Edward Reynolds, vice-president of
the Postal system, expressed surprise
at the inclusion of the Postal in the
strike order. II suppose it's merely a
sympathy CALL" he said. "Our en-
ployes have no grievances against US
and the union people have assured US
that they feel friendly toward our com
pany. l don't understand it,"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-09

Such important unions as the brick
layers and the shiphuilders already
have taken a strong position on this
project.
The arrival of Harry Mountfora.
secretary treasurer of the White Rats,
tonight developed the fact that sn-
other attempt will be made in the con-
vention to revoke the charter under
which the Rats operate. Two years
ago this was decided upon. and the
necessary votes u that end were in
sight, but James Fitzpatrick, in a two
hour monologue, laughed down the
plan of the convention. Fitzpatrick.
fresh from France, is due here to-
morrow to again defend his organixs-
ton. Should the Rats charter be
revoked, it is understood the actors,
who are led by Francis Wilson. will hc

Canada Rushes Through
Bill to Put Teeth in
Ne,U Deportation Act


OTTAWA, Ont, June 8.-Parliament
struck a heavy blow at Bolshevism
when a bill directed against agitators
of the revolutionary type passed the
three stages in the Commons. was
given a first. second and third reading
in the Senate, and secured the Royal
assent, all within an hour. Such rapid
legislative action can be accomplished
only by unanimous consent.
The bill was in the form Of an
amendment to the immigration act,
which recently became law. This act
gave the government power to deport
aliens who advocated overthrow Of con-
stituted authority, but it failed to pro-
vide against immigrants from the
British Isles of the London Hyde Park
school, many of whom have become
conspicuous in revolutionary move
ments in Western Canada, and particu-
larly in British Columbia
1t is reported the haste displayed in
dicated the intention of the govern
ment to take immediate action in the
West
