THREE THOUSAND
ARMEN|ANS ARE
HOUSED IN FILTH
STEPPED in Dirt, Ravaged by
Vermin, Refugees From
Near East" Huddled
in Turkish Capital

New York, Dec. 25,-Three thous-
and Armenians driven from their
homes in the war-raged countries
south of the Black Sea, are concen-
trated in old churches or other ref.
uge buildings in Constantinople, says
East Relief from one of its workers.
Their fate is described as wretched.
Work is at premium in Constanti-
nople because of the influx of 10O,-
600 Russian refugees from the Crimea,
and numerous Greeks from the fight
ing zone in Anatolia.
The buildings in which the Armen-
ian refugees have been herded are
characterized as unsuitable in almost
every conceivable way for housing so
many. There are five of these refu-
gee centers, called camps.
The relief worker reports that sani-
tary conditions in these camps are
almost indescribable. The buildings
are crowded, dirty and wet The
refugees, most of them country peo-
pie unused to the ways of the city
and stupefed by their misfortunes,
sit around huddled against the walls.
The women have dull, sad faces and
the little shildrcn are blue and pinch
ed with the cold and too miserably
lifeless to cry.
The women make an effort to keep
clean, but it is hard to wash either
bodies or clothes when there is no
soap, about one pan or kettle for 10
families, and all the water from one
well.
Most of the refugees have arrived
in Constantinople with almost notn-
ing except the clothes on their backs,
and many are barely covered.
Even greater need exists for blank
cts than warm clothing. One family
of FIVE, for instance, sleeps on bare
stone floor under one thin, ragged,
half cotton blanket.
At Haskeuy camp. located in an
old Armenian church, 500 persons
from CECILIA are housed. $50 of them
women and children. They are hun
cry most of the time. Every two
days the, camp receives 130 loaVes
of bread and one case of milk from
the Central Armenian Committee.
The milk is reserved for the babies
and the sick. They cook over twig
fires and with the constant rain and
mud, dry twigs are hard to find.
Psamatia, special feeding
camp" where the weakest refugees
are sent, has $50 people, and CON
ditions are slightly better. Scutarl'
another special" camp for sick ref
ugees consists of two old churches
in which $50 people are massed.
At Bechiktache camp, large
Turkish house formerly occupied by
Pasha and his. harem. 463 miserable
.Armenians dwell. They are given
nothing but the roof over their
heads. Some of them have little
money which they spend in the tin
lest installments for rice or bread
Ortakeuy camp, located in two build
ings, one dilapidated palace and
the other left in a filthy condition
by Turkish troops, houses 73O.

AMERICAN SCOUTS
KNOCK ON CLOSED
DOORS IN GERMANY
Indications Point Toward
All Trade With Germans
Going to British and
French Dealers

Berlin, Dec. 25.-American business
scouts who have been securing Ger
many in the last few months in
search of contracts have virtually
abandoned the field TO the British
and French and gone home, accord
ing to information reaching the AM
erican Association OF Commerce and
Trade here. While exports and i'm
ports between the United States and
Germany continue gradually to in
crease the Americans say the major
tty of the big manufacturers and buy
ing firms of Germany already have
signed longtime contracts with the
British and French, who sent armies
of representatives into the country as
soon as the armstice was signed.
The Germans who have not con-
tracted with the British and French,
but have held back in the belief that
1t would be to their advantage to
Tie up with the Americans, are be-
coming discouraged and American
business men here say unless there
is soon a resumption of official rela-
tions between the two countries, and
probably a sterilization of exchange,
it must be many months after treaty
is signed before the Americans will
again have their propor1ionate pre-
war share of German trade.
The German government is keenly
alive to the situation and even has
taken hand, unofficially, in recen,
transactions by which Il was believed
good business relations between thc
two countries would be fostered. When
the National Cash Register Company
recently sought permission of the po-
litical economic subcommittee of the
Imperial Economic Council to import
tools and patterns for a factory in
Germany, the German Foreign Office
took an active interest and it is said
even directed the committee to make
a favorable report, although some o
Germanys most powerful financial in
fluences were objecting.
Other American concerns have ap.
piled for permission to import ma.
chinery and manufactured articles bur
the Economic Council has thus fai
withheld the permission on the ground
the articles could be produced in Ger.
many.
The German governments principa
objection to importations at this tim,
is based upon the low exchange value
OF the mark Until the mark is sta.
bilized, the Germans believe trade
should be encouraged on the basis OF
exchange of goods. or that only such
importations should be permitted as
will encourage German production ant
form a market for German labor.
