She is the Lady Surma di Bith Mar
Shimun, sister of the ruling Patri-
arch of the Assyrians, the present
day remnant of the once powerful
nomadic tribes which inhabited Me-
sopotamia before the incursions of
the Arabs. The country whence she
comes has been identified by some
with the Garden of Eden.
Travelling by steamer. by train
and on horseback, she has come ato-
gether some 5000 miles from town
500 miles beyond Bagdad to plead,
as the agent of her people, for the
restoration of lands lost by them
when they took arms in behalf of
the Allies against the Turks and
Kurds.
Driven further and further into
their mountain Businesses by repeat

been gathered together at Bakuba,
where they are living under the pro-
lection of the British civil and mill
