REPORT 10000 GIRLS
ARE HELD IN SLAVERY
Turkish-Armenian Refugees Ap.
peal for Release of Daugh-
tiers From Harems.

TIFLIS. Armenia. September Is, via
Paris. October 2.-Turkish-Armenia
refugees whose daughters were saved
from death for a life of slavery in
Turkish harems, have appealed to the
American Red Cross for aid in obtain
ing their freedom. 1t is estimated by
officials of the Armenian government
that $4,000 girls are thus held in
slavery. An executive committee to
arrange plans for their liberation has
been named and will start work at once
These girls, daughters of refugees
from the Van and Bitlis regions. dis
appeared during the massacres OF
1918. Nothing was heard of them for
months and it was believed they had
been slain by the Turks.
Recently pitiful appeals for liberia
ton have been coming from them
from the Turkish harems of Anatolia
and European Turkey. Most of the
girls declare they have not changed
their religion.
Col. Haskell. high commissioner of
the allies to Armenia, has been ap-
pealed to for military aid. No definite
answer has yet been given. but he is
hopeful of being able to offer a show
of force as a background for diplo-
matte negotiations. The American
Red Cross has been asked for finan-
cial backing necessary for the work of
liberia ting the women.
