Near East Commissioner Says
Thousands Of Armenians
and Turks Suffer

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.-That
the Turks are purposely starving
thousands of Armenians and Greeks
so that they will die on the road
while being "deported' is the
charge made by J. Herbert Knapp,
American civil engineer and re-
Gently in charge Of relief work in
the Near East, who has just re-
turned to Los Angeles.
These charges were made in a
report of Turkish excesses against
the Greeks and Armenians in Ana
tolia and filed at the local office
Of the Near East Relief by Knapp.
Knapp also said the State De-
partment Is preparing a 100000
claim against the Turkish govern
ment as reparation for the murder
of his brother, George P. Knapp, a
missionary, by the Turks.
Relates Cruelties.
Relating details Of the Turkish
persecution of the Greeks and
Armenians, Knapp said:
"Deportees began to arrive in
Arabkir in July Of last year. 2he
first arrivals were about 800 Greeks
OF military age. AS time went on
the women and children began to
arrive. Occasionally there would
be an entire family, but In most
cases the mothers and children
would be without any male rela-
tive. There was one group of
about 100 men over fifty years old.
some Of whom appeared to be
ninety years old. They remained a
few days and were sent on toward
HaTp0p.; aR I.rs. rrouD Of NOR. than

Aged Refugees.
1T was an unforgettable sight TO
see middle-aged and old women, not
to mention the younger women and
a few men, with their children,
with household articles on their
backs, trudging off in the bitter
cold. A biting blizzard broke upon
tHcih bHOt tiy diNtI lHSy ltlN ATdD-
kir. The next day we saw the road
strewn with dead. Many Of the
women were unable to carry their
children and were compelled to
leave them beside the road. We
took twenty of these youngsters into
our orphanage. where many Of them
died from exposure which they had
been subjected to before reaching
Arabltir. II was evident that the
Turkish policy OF deportation was
intended so that victims would per.
ish on the road.
Another method was only to
give food to those who worked on
the road in such limited quantities
that they soon weakened when the
food allowance was cut. The vic
Tins invariably died"
With Miss B. B. Murdock, a Chi.
cago nurse, who was also stationed
at Arabkir, Knapp made the Jour.
ney out by native cart, a distance
OF 400 miles, and then by boat TO
Constantinople.
