CONCRETE TUCBOATS
Those Being Built for French Govern.

Small re-enforced concrete tugboats of
a total deadweight carrying capacity of
about eighty tons are being built in
quantity production in Paris for the
French government. No small part OF
the speed of production is due to the
simple method Of launching.
The yard is on the quay wall of the
Seine river, and the boats are built some
twenty or thirty feet from the edge of
the wall. Back of the boat is a truck
or a pathway on which rolls the double
member balanced crane. This crane con-
slsts in effect of two shear legs spaced
some thirty feet apart and thoroughly
crossbraced in the plane OF the front
masts. They are balanced BY a counter
weight, made up of a Reinforced con-
crete box, which is filled with stone 10

from the top of each mast is a hanger

The Washington times., 1919-01-05

iy ON the mind OF America II win be the
most elaborate picture Of Its kind ever pro-
duced. and the most faithful 20 facts. Every
feature of Il has been verified by Lord
,Bryce's report on the Armenian atrocities
made to the British Government.
The production has been made for the
committee by William N. selig, who gives
his services TO the cause.
Aurora threw herself into the work Of
representing her own adventures and the
sufferings Of her people for the film with
intense earnestness. For her IT required
no acting-only repeating what she had
already suffered. She fully realized that
her efforts would help to bring relief to the
remnant OF her martyred people and might
be the means Of saving them from extinc-
tion as a nation.
1t was found, however, that she could not
act more than a few minutes a day, for the
strain Of living over again her own agony,
IF seeing the death Of her mother and
brothers and sisters and all she loved was
so great that she became unneryed and
broke down. Finally, however, with ample
time and care the picture was completed
in the form the committee desired.
The picture begins with the signing OF
the imperial edict in the SuItan's palace
for the deportations and massacres of the
Armenians. Enver Pasha and Talaat Bey,
ministers of war and The interior, the Sui.
tan, and Djevdet Bey, Enver's brotherin-
law and principal agent in massacres, are
shown in the minister's room. Ambassa-
dor Morgenthau's protest against the in
humanity of these Turks and his effort to
stay their hands are depicted.
Then the picturesque Armenians are
shown in their homes. From then on the
picture represents the issuing Of the proc.
lamation, the massacres Of the men with
great cruelties, the assembly OF the women,
the looting Of their homes, the cruelties Of
the Zaptiehs ard the starting Of the wo-
men, with Aurora's family, on the road to
the Arabian desert Aurora's own story Is
then pictured substantially as it has been
told in this newspaper.
The American Committee present the
picture throughout the United States be-
ginning January IL in all the large cities.
All money received goes directly to the
committee, and the costs Of exhibition are
paid by the committee directly. Every
dollar will go to Armenia entire II is
hoped that at leas: ten million Americans
will see the production.
II will be not only very stirring pic
ture, highly artistic one. Special music
written by Armenian composers win give
it a strange Oriental glamour. The picture
is directed by Oscar APPEL, a noted direc-
tor.
Aurora herself will appear In person a.
as many Of the representations as possible
to thank the American people for what
they are doing for Armenia and to beg
them to complete the work. She has
learned English especially for this pur-
pose.
Aurora is a special ambassador from
General Andranik, the Armenian national
hero, who never gave up hope, in the strug-
gle in which 100000 Of his people were
massacred, and the picture is her fulfill
mens OF her promise to him, given Just
after she reached the Russian lines, that
she would tell America the full truth about
Armenia.
The Washington times., 1919-01-05

feel that she was among warm hearted
Christian people, who would do everything
in their power to atone for the cruel
wrongs she had endured and wipe out the
soaring effects of the past.
The other object of the committee was
to have Aurora's story told in moving
picture form for the benefit of stricken
Armenia. They believe that the expert
ences of this young GIRL the only one who
escaped alive among those seized by the
Turks, VIII be the best way Of bringing
home to the American people the dreadful
tragedy of Armenia. They believe it will
be the most effective way of inducing the
United States to save the remnant of this
martyred Christian people from the con-
dition Of starvation, misery and disintegra-
tion into which It has fallen. The proceeds
of the moving picture exhibitions will help
to make up the fund of $4,000, 900 which
the committee plans to collect for the res
toration of Armenia
Conditions for making moving pictures
are, of course, ideal in California and SO
everything was just right for Aurora's Gin
derella trip.
The thrilling facts of Aurora's escape
and wanderings in Armenia are already
we'll known to readers of this newspaper,
but some features Of them may be repea:
ed to show the contrast between what hap
pened to her then and what is happening
to her now in her new fairyland of kind
ness, peace and sympathy.
Aurora was one of $4,000 Armenians Of
carried away by the Turks to be slaught-
cred in trackless wildernesses and secre:
places or condemned to slavery in the
harem. OF all this contingent, it is be-
lieved, she is the only one now left alive.
She was held a prisoner for a week in
the harem of Ahmed Bey, the high placed
Turk, where she saw her own mother and
little brothers and sisters murdered. She
was left to die in the desert, bu. was cap
tured by the wandering savage Kurds and
held by them as slave.
She passed into the harem of the horri-
BILE Haiti Ghafour, but escaped and wan
dered into the desert again. She lived on
grass and bark in the desert of Dersin for
months. She was in turn prisoner of the
Turks, Kurds and Circassians.
She tramped over five hundred miles on
foot in the Armenian and Syrian deserts.
never having the covering of a roof, the
use of a bath tub or the rudest elementary
comforts of civilization. During most Of
this time she was shoeless and practically
naked.
Then, one wonderful day, from her hid
ing place she saw the Russians capture
Erzerum and she knew that there was a
chance of finding help from Christian
hands. Strange 10 say, the spor from
which she witnessed this stirring sight is
called the Hill of Eden and forms part Of
the original Garden of Eden according to
Armenian records. Then the poor girl
dragged her weary body into the Russian
lines.
Her hardships were by no means at an
end, for she was compelled to walk part
of the long road from Erzerum to Tiiis in
Russia. From Tifiis to Petrograd she was
allowed to lie on the floor of a railroad
cattle car. This was her first adventure on
a railroad. In Petrograd American friends
