Steel Business Shows
But Little Change in
June, Iron Age Says

New York, June 13.-The Iron
age of to-day says in part:
Volume of new business and rate
of production in steel has undergone
little change in June. The improve
ment of three weeks ago has been
held, without the signs that usually
attend a regulation buying move
ment. The amount of new manufac-
turing capacity that is projected in
Woodworking lines in the Middle
West, particularly in the Detroit dis
trict and the repair and new con-
structior work laid out by a num-
ber of steel companies are outstand-
ing features.
THE reduction of 51S,375 tons in
the Steel Corporations untitled or

pected, but Steel Corporation opera
tions have been at generally high
er rate than those of independent
companies. Apparently the export
movement in May was even smaller

Steelton Troops Take Steps to
Form Organization in
Borough

With representatives of the local
troops of Boy Scouts of America in
attendance, a meeting was held last
evening in Trinity parish house to
decide the future of the troops in
Steelton. 1t was unanimously de-
cided to form second class council
in Steelton in preference to joining
forces with another council.
Preliminary steps were taken in
that direction and another meeting
will be held Tuesday evening for the
selection of a scout executive and the
election of council officers. The
meeting will be held in Trinity par
ish house and will, be attended by all
the scoutmasters and assistants, by
the members of Scout troop councils
and by men interested in the well
fare of the boys of Steelton.
There are four troops in Steelton
and the total number of scouts goes
we'll over a hundred. AS soon as a
council is formed, steps are to be
taken to have a camp in the sum-
mer for all the scouts of Steelton.
Much interest in the matter of the
local council is being expressed by
prominent men of the borough, all
of whom feel that the time has ar
rived when more attention must be
paid to the boys, the coming men of
Steelton.

ARMENIAN GIRL
TELLS GRUESOME
STORY OF MURDER
Sees Own Brother Shot Down
and Many Others
MaSsacred

New York, June 13.-One of
the most pitiful stories of saw
agery practiced by Turks or Cir
cassians upon the Armenians de-
ported during the war from their
homes into The country of the
Arabs is told by Victoria Varshah-
dian, a girl of eighteen years. Her
story has been made public here
by the American Committee for
Armenian and Syrian relief. The
girl was the daughter of a well-to-
do merchant who had a shop in
Constantinople and another at New
sher, Turkey. where the family
lived.
In her narrative to a British
physician 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 1900 pounds in gold they
were marched south to the vicinity
OF Deir- Es-Zor (probably on the
Euphrates river). There they found
a great congregation of refugees,
said to number 1000 families.
Priests Killed
While at Deir- Es-Zor, Murad or
Suvar, the girl said twenty Arme-
mon priests were taken from among
the refugees, bound together, sent
away and killed. In the river at
Suvar she saw one hundred bodies
of men, women and children, some
with their heads off.
After collecting n ransom the
Mutessarif ordered the men of the
refugees brought before him ito
sign a paper" The next day she
said she saw the Circassians shoot
down three hundred of them. Then
the Mutessarif, Zeki Bey, ordered
nine of the bodies of the Armenians
placed in the road and drove his
carriage over them. He announced
that he would kill all the male
refugees over two years old. Up to
that time her brother had escaped
death by bribery, but he was taken
away with others, and on leaving
said to his mother: Mother, l am
going to die. Give me your hand
and 1 will kiss it. Forgive me any
thing / have done wrong to you.
Goodby." Her brother was shot be-
fore Victoria's eyes.
She declared also that she saw
ArmenlanS Killed by driving wooden
stakes through them, that two were
buried alive by the Arabs and that
eventually the Circassians began to
kill all the women and children,
with their knives. Her description
of this massacre is too awful to be
told, for she gives details of the
fiendish manner in which it was ac-
complished.
Thrown Into River
Afterward Victoria was separated
from her mother and sent to the
tent of an Arab where she remained
for two weeks. In that period, she
said, she saw two hundred small
| boys from \ Meskeneh brought
through Deir- Es-Zor to Shadadieh
and saw these children 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 year and a half she reached
| Aleppo, where her story was told.
She has been informed that her
| mother and one brother escaped
from the Circassians or Arabs.
