>T<HE whitening bones OF millions
of massacred men, women and
l. l. children are strewing the plains
of Asia Minor from the Black Sea to
the Persian Gulf.
In single days travel, an American
relief worker saw the mutilated corpses
of more than five thousand outraged
women, piled by the roadside.
Thousands of living babies have been
hurled into the rushing tides of the
Euphrates, the Tigris and other rivers.
From the town of Harpoot eighteen
thousand persons were deported, mostly
women and girls. Deported-driven for
endless miles over mountains, plains,
deserts in bitter cold and parching heat.
Their mounted guards, ex-convicts,
criminals, ruffians of the lowest order.
AT the end of sixty-four days the
survivors, one hundred and eighty-fve
out of the eighteen thousand, staggered
into a 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.
:. The story of Harpoot is the story OF
