In that period she said, she saw two hundred small boys from Meskenesh brought through Deir-Es- For to Sha and saw these chil- dren killed in various ways and thrown or kicked into the river.
 She escaped from the Arabs tent, was recaptured by the Arabs with two other girls from Harput but later was allowed to go her way. After a year and a half she reached A1eppo where her story was told. She has been informed that her mother and one brother escaped from the Cir cassians or Arabs.

New York, June 13-One of the most pitiful stories of savagery prac-
 ticed by Turks or Circassians upon the Armenians deported during the
 war from their homes into the coun-
 try of the Arabs is told by Victoria
 Varshabdian, a girl of IS years Her story has been made public here by.

 ian and Syrian Relief. Tine girl was
 the daughter of a well-to-de merchant
 who had a shop in Constantinepie and
 another at Nevsher, Turkey where
 the family lived.
 In her narrative to a British pflysi-
 clan she said that her father and four
 brothers were deported and that her
 father died while on the journey
 from a. blow inflicted by a gendarme
 Carrying their little fortune of f2,006

 the vicinity of Deir-Es-Zor (proba-
 bIy on the Euphrates river.) There
 they found a great congregation of
 refugees, said to number 1000 fami- lies. While at Deir-Es-Zor, Murad or
 Suvar, the girl said twenty Armenian priests were taken from among the refugees, bound together sent away
 and killed. In the river at Suvar she
 saw 100 bodes of men, women and children, some with their heads off. After collecting ransom, the Mutt | essariff ordered the men of the refu- gees brought befsFe him "te sign 3 paper" The-next day she said sl}e

 death by bribery but he was taken | away with others and en leaving said

This tank is 1OOx1OOx10 feet and

gallons of water. The excavation
work on big reservoir is practically
complete. In addition to this work,
the concrete bases for the boiler
house andsthe machine shop and the
excavations for several other build
ings hive been completed.
Material, is being received, which
according to E. White, construction
superintendent, is the most encour
agement they have had since the
work was started Several cars of
sand, brick, and chat have been re-
ceived. Plans are being changed with
reference to the construction of
some of the buildings. 1t had been
planned to make the sidewalks of
the machine shop and some of the
other buildings of iron, but since
this material is practically unob-
tainable, the walls will be of con
crete with asbestos ml9terial for
roofing, making the building abso-
lutely fireproof.
'The progress made on construction
depends entirely on the weather"

will make a Li-e showing in the next
