Mills, of Princeton, N. J.. who is directing the American movement to unite Armenian families. Shamlian is preparing a home for them in Balikesl1ir.

The mother and daughter came upon each other unexpectedly in the American refuge at Aintab, both having walked C hundreds of miles and suffered ter rible hunger and hardship in their search for relatives and safety.
