ARABS KILLED
ARMENIANS BY
SCORE IN WAR
Were MerCiIeSS to DrOVeS of
DefenSeIeSS Allies, Says
Refugee.

NEW YORK. June 15.-One OF
the most pitiful stories Of savagery
practiced by Turks or Circassians
upon the Armenians deported dur
Ing the war from their homes into
this country OF the Arabs IS told
by Victoria Varshahdian. a girl Of
is years. Her story has been made
public here by the American com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian re-
lief. The girl was the daughter Of
a well-tO-do merchant who had a
shop IN Constantlnople and another
at Nevsher. Turkey. where the
family lived.
In her narrative 20 a British ply
sician she said that her father and
four brothers were depOrted and
that her father died while on the
Journey, from bolw inflicted by a
gendarme. Carrying their little
fortune OF 1000 pound in gold they
were marched south 10 the vicinity
OF DER s-Zor probably on the
EuphrateS river. There they found
a great congregation Of refugees.
Eaid 10 number 1000 families
While at -Es-Zor, Murad or
suvar. the girl said 20 Armenian
priests were taken from among the
refugees, bound together, sent away
and killed. IN the river at Suvar
she saw 100 bodies OF men, women
and children some with their heads
of.
XIII OF All Males.
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 Circasians shoot down
800 OF them. Then the Mutessarif,
ZeM 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
al the male refugees over two years
old. Up to that time her brother
had escaped death by bribery but he
was taken away with others and on
leaving said TO his mother; Mother,
am going 10 die. Give me your
hand and 1 will kiss Il. Forgive me
anything / have done wrong to.yOu.
Goodbye" Her brother was shot be
fore Victoria's eyes She declared al
so that she saw ArNenians killed
by driving wooden stakes through
them. that two were buried alive
by the Arabs and that eventually the
CircassiOns began 20 kill all the wO-
men and children with their knives
Her description OF this massacre is
too awful to be told for she gives
details OF the dendish manner in
which Il was accomplished.
Small Boys AfsssaCred-
Afterward Victoria was separated
from her mother and sent 70 the
tent OF an Arab where she remained
for two weeks. In that period, she
said. she saw 200 small boys from
Meskeneh brought through DER Es-
Tor 10 Shadadieh and saw these
children killed in various ways and
thrown or kicked into the rive.
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 a year and a half she reached
Aleppo where her story was told
She has been informed that hel
mother and one brother escaped
from the Circassians or Arabs.

The flight Of the Three from Rock

SOLDIERS pet LOSES LIFE
CHASING BALL OVERHEARD
Connie Mack, Police Dag, Replaced
by Orlando, Son of Mrs. Nation,
Born on Transport

Connie Mack. an Aznericanlzed police
dog lost his life at sea from the trans
port Mongolia two days ago IN chas-
ing a ball which was being passed
around tho deck over his head by mem
bers OF the 10th Ambulance Com
pany OF the l03d Sanitary Train. When
the ball went overheard Connie Mack
went right after IL. true to the tradl-
tlons Of his kind in play or In battle.
The ambulance company had the
sympathy OF the SD Artillery Brigade
Headquarters, which brought dog
aboard at st. Nazaire which they
called Mrs Nation. not as a namesalse
of Carrie OF Kansas. but as one OF
them explained because superficial re-
search into her ancestry seemed to in
dicate she was pretty well ntted 10
speak In the dog language OF pretty
much any nation in the well known
League Of the name"
When Mrs. Nation presented tho
command with four pups two days out
from st. Nazalre. the same trend OF
thought was followed; they were named
clemenceau. Lloyd George. Wilson and
Orlando.
After the sad death OF Connie Mack
by unanimous vote OF the SD f. A.
Brigade Orlando was presented to the
10th Ambulance, The Rrtilleryment
said they were willing to part with
him because even thus carly in life he
seemed TO hate peace.

Preparatory to Flight to

conditions here to-day were excellent
for flying. Tho day was clear and
there was a brisk westerly wind.
The NC-1 was taken from her moor
ings on the naval station at Eastern
Passage and run up and down the
surface OF the bay.
Later the NC-3 was put through
tho same test. Prior to this the
engines had been overhauled and dur
ing the night fuel was placed aboard
both machines.
After the tests the NC-l tied ZIP at
the stern Of the mine layer Baltimore.
The NC-3 returned TO her moorings
Later the NC-3 was towed to the Bal
timore.
The NC-S with Commander Towers
glided down to the waters OF the har-
Dor here at 75s o'clock (65s New
York time) last night. and the NC-1
at sos (7.os New York tlme). Com
mander Towers said their trip had
been uneventful and that their ships
had functioned perfectly. He added
that the visibility throughout the trip
was remarkably good. and that while
at times the two planes were ont OF
sight OF each othe- they clung closely
to the schedule fixed before the start.
The warmest kind OF a welcome
was given TO the American flyers as
they made their appearance here.
Great crowds had gathered upon the
shores OF Halifax Harbor--as bulle-
tins had told of the progress OF the
United States Navy aircraft--and
when the leading ship came into view
off the mouth OF the bay there were
hearty cheers from these throngs. and
every factory ashore or vessel afloal
roared a greeting with its whistle. A
peet of tugs and motor boats went tc
the harbor entrance to meet the NC
craft and offer them a friendly recep-
tlon.
