"TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE
Doctors and Nurses Have Narrow
Escape as Turks Attack Amer
lean Hospital.

Adana, Asia Minor, Sunday, Feb

the seige of Peking, foreigners have
undergone no more nerve racking ex-
perience than seventeen relief work.
ers of the American committee for
relief in the Near East, shut up for
twenty-five days without outside COM
muniCation in a mission compound at
Marash. They were under a constant
rain of lead, while French troops,
aided by Armenians, battled with
Turkish Nationalists for possession OF
the city. More than half of the town
was burned during the engagement
and there was terrible loss of life.
The story is told in the diary or
the Rev. C. T. S. Crathren, Boston
Y. M. c. A. secretary, who went
through and arrived at Adana on Feb
ruary Is. Mr.. Crathern reports Alge-
rian troops were engaged in skir-
mish with Turkish bandits when the
American automobile appeared and
drew fire from the Turks. Mr.. Crath-
ern's diary says on January 81 he
found Marash with its bazaars and
shops closed and the Turks engaged
in talking in small groups through
out the city.
Shots Were Heard.
AT noon shots were heard by the
relief workers indicating that the
long threatened clash in the city had
started. French officials arrested sew
eral important Turkish officials.
which, it was thought precipated a
clash at Aros. Shooting soon began
in all parts of the city. A French
sentinel guarding an American hos
pital was killed and another French
soldier was wounded.
Sniping continued throughout the
night and the Americans were
awakened on the 22nd day by the
sound Of guns and flashes from ex-
ploding shells. An attack was made
on the American hospital, the doc
tors and nurses having a narrow es-
cape.
Fighting continued On the 23rd and
through his field glasses Mr.. Crath-
ern said he could see Armenians flee
ing through the streets before the
Turks, who shot them down, while
Turkish snipers On the hills about the
city shot at Armenians attempting to
leave Marash. The diary says:
1T was pitiful to see them throw
up their hands and scream while at
tempting to escape. We watched
them fleeing over the hills until they
reached our compound, some drop
ping wounded, and others staggering
into the mission grounds with wild
eyes and purple faces, telling Of the
awful massacre just beginning"

POPULATION OF THE
TOWN FALLS SHORT
OF 22OO MARK
Limits of Newark Have Not
Kept Pace With Normal
Growth

Miss Martha Wilson, census en-
umerater for the town, completed
her field work last week and will
nave the results tabulated ready to
submit to Mr.. Welch tomorrow.
Some surprising facts are shown
oy the returns. The total popu-
latlon OF the town barely reaches
the 2lOO mark. The industrial
growth of the town would seem to
indicate that there should be a
greater increase in population. Ac-
cordlpg to the opinion of an old
resident the apparent discrepancy
IS due to the fact that the town
limits have not been extended to
keep pace with the increased popu-
latlon. Lack Of housing facilities
has made it necessary for many
of the industrial workers to com
mute.

Board of Educa-
ton to Confer with
School Auxiliary
Mass Meeting Of Taxpayers to be Held
Soon
Expression Of Opinion with Regard
to Bonding the Town will
be sought

a meeting Of the local Board of
Education was called last night for
the purpose Of discussing matters
relative to the proposed new school
building, Superintendent Morris
reported the result of conference
with DR.. Joseph H. Odell, presi-
dent Of the School Auxiliary AS
sociation relative to the method of
procedure on the part Of a district
desiring the cooperation of that
body in its building program.
Much earnest discussion by men,
bers Of the Board concerning the
type Of school desired, the cost Of
building and maintenance, the pro-
vision for out-of-town students,
probable consolidation and other
factors entering into the project,
led finally to the conclusion that in
a matter so grave, expert advice
should be sought. Superintendent
Morris was instructed to arrange
for an interview with members of
the School Auxiliary at the earliest
possible date.
With reference to bonding the
town, it was deemed advisable to
call a public meeting of taxpayers
some time in the near future in
order that an opportunity may be
given for expressions of opinion
with regard to so vital matter
and for thorough understanding of
what is contemplated. This refer
endum method, it was stated, was
resorted to at Dover, which re-
Gently took steps providing for an
adequate building program and
secured $225,00O of the Pierre s..
dupont building fund.
Due notice Of the meeting will
be given to all taxpayers at the
earliest possible moment after the
date is definitely fixed.
This morning Superintendent
Morris arranged for a conference
with the School Auxiliary to be
held Monday.
