RELATIVES DEPORT-
ED, MOTHER DEAD

Alexander Varbedian, an Armeni-
an. and one Of Putnam's successful
merchants, has learned this week that
his mother is dead and that his father,
sister and brothers were deported,
driven into the desert by the Turks,
with thousands of others of their fell
low countrymen. The sufferings of
these people have been related time
and again, and it is to relieve this
suffering that the campaign for an
Armenian Relief fund is being waged.
For some years Mr. Varbedian, a
naturalzed citizen, has, through the
state department, been trying to
bring his parents and relatives TO this
country. His brother. like himself,
is a naturalized citizen, and the gov
eminent agents tried to locate the
family and do what Mr.. Varbedian
desired, but the relatives could not
be found
Some of the relatives deported
have returned to Armenia. One a
brother-in- Law. has not been heard
from in four years, and 1t is feared
that he has been put to death. 1t is
understood that the Turkish govern
ment had given this man and his fam
ily permission to remain, but later
government agents went to his home
and took him away. Fortunately the
family was out Mt the time. so the
mother and children escaped The
last heard from the brother-in-law
was letter he wrote his wife telling
her of the horrible conditions under
which he was existing. and his deter
mination to escape. He told of num-
bers of his countrymen being taken
out mt night and killed. II is thought
possible that this letter was inter
cepted and that he became one of the
victims of the nightly murders.
