CHOLERA TAKES GRIP
ON HUNGRY PEOPLES
OF STRICKEN ARMENIA
(By Associated Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. %. =
Cholera is spreading throughout that
part of Armenia which was the scene
Of the war between the Turks and Ar
menians last winter, according to a
dispatch received here from Tiflis and
forwarded by Paxton Hibben, of lndi-
annapolis, Ind. Mr.. Hibben is mcm-
ber of the group of representatives OF
the Near East Relief and recently
visited Armenia before starting north
ward through Russia and Moscow.
He writes that the cholera is due to
lack of foodstuffs and the consequent
reduced resistance of the population
10 the inroads of disease. He adds:
"An average of % aged persons and
young children are dying daily in the
streets of Alexandropol from both
cholera and hunger. The bodies are
being loaded in the wagons which are
continually making the rounds of the
streets in search for corpses.
Americans Give Relief
The American Near East Relief is
taking additional hundreds of virtually
naked children into its already over
crowded crphanages and housing them
under open sheds until buildings can
be obtained.
There are 68 registered cases of
cholera in Erivan and 141 at Alexan
dropol and the deaths are averaging
20 per cent of the cases. An Armc.
nian physician of the Near East relief
at AleXandropol has just died of the
disease. Two buildings of the Amer!-
can orphanages there are quarantined
on account of the cholera cases. This
results in confining in the buildings
1900 children and several American
relief workers.
"At Karaklis there are four cholera
cases among 5S5 orphans under Amer
lean care. but the epidemic among the
children is being held in check.
"The homeless inhabitants of 14a
towns, raZed by the Turks, who are
now camping in the fields and swarm
ing in the city streets, are without the
slightest hope of assistance from the
impoverished government, in whose
paper money 5000 rubles is equivalent

Appeals for Assistance.
The Armenian foreign minister, As
canes Mooravian, and the minister OF
supplies, Sarkis Srabeonian, recently
waited on a delegation of 25 Ameri-
cans headed by Charles V. Vickrey
general secretary of the Near East
relief, to appeal for American aid to
see Armenia through the winter. They
stated that the government was try
Ing desperately to obtain grain from
Persia, but that the Persian govern
nent was becoming alarmed at the ex
oortation of foodstuffs and was put
ing an embargo on its exports, thus
.utting off the only nearby source oil

even greater than that of yesterday. It
became so large that officials OF the
bank requested Chief of Police McCabe
to clear a path so persons could enter
and leave the bank
Not alone was pedestrian traffic
blocked, but the roadway became con-
gested by automobiles filled with per-
sons trying TO get a look at Mrs. Still
man. Trolley cars found it hard to
pass. Boys climbed the telegraph and
electric light poles. and the roofs OF
several commercial trucks that stood
along the curb were utilized as grand
stand seats.

way through the crowd and announced
he had a letter for Mrs. Stillman. He
described himself as Napoleon Bona
parte. first consul of France. The let
ter. he said, was a proposal of mar
rtage to Mrs. Stillman. The stranger
disappeared before a detective could
get 10 him. 1t was explained later he
was "trusty' from the Hudson River
State Hospital for the Insane, which
lies four miles to the north Of this city.

the hearing long enough to drive her
father, James Brown Potter, to his
home in Tuxedo. Mr. Potter called at
