The delegates of the British Trade Unions lost no time
In protesting in Budapest well in London against the
active assistance of their to the deeds of the
White Terror
They had been sufficiently warned by the experience OF
the Italian Delegates that they did not expect any marvel

days in Vienna among the refugees from Hungary among
people, part Of whom still bear marks of torures vsb on
their bodies might be shown by them but once to the auor
of the White Terror Admiral Horhy and to his protector
the British Plenpotenart Minister at Budapest Mr. Hoher
This man to high degree personally responsible for all these
atrocities chiefly perhaps by the report to his government
about "the alleged White Terror which was submitted to
the British Parliament and which should be read by every
worker in order to by how the diplomacy of naughty
capitalists may mock the sufferngs of the working class
Today the delegates of the British Trade Unions know
enough to give in counterrepor, due to this
masterhypocre. This answer too may claim the attention
of the workers of the world

Condemnation and allegations supported
by indisputable evidence which all

further and here we find the reason
for the change of policy, for the ef-

Armenian Girls
 Prefer to Live
 In Turk Harens

SAMOUN, Asia Minor, Dec. 4-En- tente and American officials and reller workers entrusted with the task or restoring Armenian girls and women to their families have found that many or the girls who in the war were forcibly taken into harems and became the in voluntary wives of the Turks ana Arabs preferred to continue as Turkish wives, and were unwilling to leave their husbands.
 They feared thu hardships of life among fellow countrymen who knew of their servitude. Some of the girls be- came attached to their foreign husbands and said they liked the life into which they had fallen. Where the girls had children the problem was doubly hard.
 The lot of some of the educated women and girls was much more pitiable than that of those whc had en- joyed no advantages. American women relief workers found one case in cen tral Turkey especially perplexing. A girl who was graduated from one of the American mission colleges was taken captive in the early part of the war. A prominent Turkish official whose only wife had recently died took the Armenian girl into his home.

 The Turk was very influential and through the influence of the young Armenian, saved Armenian refugees 1 from prosecution. He proposed to the girl and she finally married him. Wher the relief workers went to the Turkish home to find whether the young bride desired to be free from her husband there was consternation in the house The Turk and his mother and children were devote to the girl and begged the Americans not to force her to leave The young wife had one child.3

Barbed Wire From No-Man's Land NoU
 Made Into Nails

RIGA, Latvia, Dec. A use has at last been found here for the vast quan- titles of barbed wire left on the bat tlefieds in eastern Europe. Riga in- ventors have devised machinery for stamping nails out of the wire and hope by this method to relieve the shortage of nails in the Balkan states.
 Riga has been the center of much fighting throughout the war that much of the lakes> streams and roads about the city are thoroughly lined with barbed wire entanglements and great numbers of full spools of wire are lying about. The expense of collecting wire for making nails is thus made light. Many of the piers at this port are stocked high with wire suitable for nail making.
