In single days travel, an American
relief worker saw the mutilated corpses

Thousands of living babies have been
hurled into the rushing tides Of the

From the town of Harpoot eighteen
thousand persons were deported, mostly

At the end of sixty-four days the

out of the eighteen thousand, staggered
into town hundreds OF miles from
where they started Covered only with
rags they were shuddering skeletons,
half dead of their suffering, half blind
with starvation.
Of the others, some died of privation
and hardship, some starved to death,
some were eaten by wild beasts God
alone knows how the rest came to an end
at the hands of worse than wild beasts.
