The town of Igdir, with it's local
and nearby populations of 10000
Armenians, 10000 Tartars, and 49,
600 Yezidis, revealed some squalid
streets with but a few people seated
disconsolately here and there, as we
drove in. Throughout those tortu-
Gus, sUp-beaten byways no children
played and no animals roamed. The
air was heavy with dreadful silence,
such as hangs yer plague-smitten
communities.
I'VE found the children, such as
they were. inhabiting an orphanage

horrible odor. and were informed
that there were neither medicines
nor disinfectants wherewith to allay

beds.
sick? Say, rather, the bed-rid-
den-a word which more justly de-
scribes those tiny, whithered up,
crone-like creatures, upon whose
faces the skin seemed stretched to a
drumhead's t%ightness; whose peer
ing eyes shot terror and anguish, as
if Deaths presence were already per-
ceptable to them, and who lay there
at Famine's climax of physical *
haustion. In those young. yet gro
tesquely aged faces, we seemed to
see a long lifetime of tragedy packed

The mud huts which we visited
presented an invariable picture-a
barren. cave-like interior, lacking
one stick of furniture or household
utensil and with a few bleached
bones scattered here and there. The
occupants, stretched on the clay
floor, would half lift themselves to
regard us with daZed and question
ing eyes. Those gaunt faces. those
attenuated bodies clad in a shaggi-
ness of filthy rags seemed centuries
removed from civilization. You felt
that you had stumbled into prehis-
toric mans den during ONE great
famine year.
suddenly a shrek went up and a
woman rushed out of her hut, with
agonized face and with hands lifted
to heaven. Hers was such abandon
ment as proclaims hat death has
struck the first-born; yet it was a
tale Of mere robbery. What the cap
tured thief delivered back to her
proved to be a paltry handful of
roots. And upon entering the wom-
ans house we found, in fact, her only
daughter lying dead, not yet cold,
while the mother crouched dry-eyed
before a tiny fire. intently watching
the pot wherein dubbed those pre-
cious roots, her next stomachful.

the Sinai of a race which has known

The little Erivan republic which
