SEEK MEANS TO
 BLOT OUT MARK
 TURKISH BEAST

NEW YORK P-A simple method to oollterate from tho faces of thousands of Armenian girls and women the brands and indelible ink tattoo marks placed upon them dur ing the war by Turks, Kurds and Arabs Is sought by Dr. Wilfred NJ Post of Princeton University, who has just returned from trip thru the Near East.
 The victims of the branding and Itattooing, in every case, were Chris tions and their captors thus marked enslavement they sought at once to remove the evidence of their bond age, employing disfiguring acids for the purpose Many of them Hooked to the relief hospitals, Dr. Post said, to be treated for the self-inflicted burns.
 Dr. Post, who was born in Turkey and served as a medical missionary In that country before the war, said the tattooed women were among hun dreds of thousands of destitute per sons In that country who are being cared for by the Near East relief workers from America.
 While removal of tattoo marks
  cannot be classed with the urgent necessity of providing food and cloth ing for SOO,OOO starving Armenian women and children" says Dr. Post, the wearing of this brand which shows that the woman has been an inmate of harem, seriously inter- feres with the work of reconstruction and rehabilitation among such per sons. During the four years that Turkey attempted to exterminate the Armenian people by system of slaughter and deportation, practically every young woman In that country was at the mercy of the Moham- medans."
 Removal of tattoo marks has nev- CT been given serious attention, ac- oording to prominent dermatologists Occasionally a request has come from a former sailor to have some design removed from his arm or society woman who wished to have the mi tials of her former fiance or husband removed, but the known processes Of removal have been so dangerous and their success so questionable that physicians have considered the marks to be practically irremovable. Several prominent dermatologists have offered their services to pr Post to assist him in his research work for the benefit of marked Ar menian women. Among those whc are aiding in the work Is Dr. George H. Washburn of Harvard. who serv' ed In the medical corps of the United States army as specialist in restor' ing the faces of soldiers who were disfigured by wounds.
