SAMSOUN, Asia Minor, Dec. H.
Entente and American officials and
relief workers entrusted with the
task of restoring Armenian girls and
women to their families have founu
that many Of the girls who in the
war were forcibly taken into harcma
and became the Involuntary wives
of the Turks and Arabs preferred to
continue an Turkish wives. and were
unwilling TO leave their husbands.
They feared the hardships OF life
among fellow countrymen who
knew of their scrvitude Some of the
girls became attached .s their for
oign highlands 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 an1 girls was much more

and children were devoted to th'
girl and begged the Americans no

The relief workers talked to th'
Armenian wife privately and tol'

FIRE DEPARTMENT
WAS BUSY SUNDAY I
-
Answered Six Calls During Day
Negro Methodist Church Burns To
The Ground.

Yesterday was. busy day for the
City Fire Departments. They answer
ed six calls during the day, two Of
them being false alarms.
The first call yesterday morning
was to the intersection Of Henry and
Cotton Street. A negro cabin had
caught on fire but the blaze was soon
extinguished and the damage will not
exceed five dollars.
The colored Methodist Church at
the intersection of Gibbs and Howard
street burned to the ground yester-
day morning about $3.50 o'clock. The
building caught on fire from a de-
fective flue, just after fire had been
started in the stove for the morning
church service. The person who turn
ed in the alarm, could not get Central
to answer for some time, according
to the firemen, and when they reached
the scene the flames had gained such
a headway that it was impossible to
