American Relief Worker Tele
of Slaughter of Frenoh
Garrison.
HAD PLEDGED SAFE CONDUCT
ColonsI Woodward Saw Wounded Men
Killed and Frenchmen Shot After
Surrendering at Ivaoua
tlon of Urfa.
Aleppo, Syria.? The slaughter of the
little French garrlaon which evacuate
Urfa on a promise of safe conduct by
the Turkish nationalist troops after
the town had been besieged for 61
days, Is described In the diary of Gen
eral Woodwsrd, accountant for the
American Commission for Relief In the
Near East, who wa? an ey? witness of
the massacre. He escaped and returned
to Urfa after several hundred French
soldiers had been killed or made pris
oners by tribesmen.
The French were ambushed by tlfte
tribesmen in violation of an agreement
made by Nemlk Kffendl, who came
from Angora as the Turkish national
ist government's representative, the
diary says, and promised the French
men safe conduct If they would evacu
ate. At that time the French had
only four days' rations left, and had
eaten all their horses and mules, and
evacuation was considered Inevitable,
as the garrison was greatly outnum
bered by the enemy.
General Woodward says fn his diary
that he saw Turks killing the French
wounded on the Held, and that he and
an officer of (he gendarmerie saw pris
oners killed by the Turks after they
bad surrendered.
"Namlk Effendl agreed to protect
the Christian population, provide a
guard of gendarmerie and n transport
of CO camols an$ 30 _hfirses If the
French would leave," the diary says.
"The garrison evacuated at 1 :8G
o'clock In the morning.
Attacked From the Roar.
"We. were suddenly attacked fronf
the rear- and from both flanks while
we were moving as a column spaced al
regular Intervals. The order was given
to deploy, and this was carried oul
Into the hills occupied by the enemy
who almost surrounded us.
"The .attack lasted for two hours,
the Turks having 2,000 Irregular troops
and one machine pun. Tlrey made n
special target of our transport, doubt
less for plunder. As the? firing- In
creased other tribes Joined in the at
tack. Our rear guard was caught in
a trap from which few escaped alive
"With the transport destroyed,, the
rear guard, cut off and our line of de
fense broken, wo could only surrender,
and an officer of gendarmerie was sent
with- a white flag. I accompanied hltn
, with an American flag. We were con
tlnually fired upon as we approached
(lie enemy, asking for his commander.
We were told there was no com
mander, as the troops were Irregular
and finally we sent messengers to the
flanks and at 10:20 the firing ceased'
but another party of Kurds arrived
almost' Immediately anchthe firing was
reopened. I asked the chief of th<
gendarmerie to return to Urfa with
me, which we managed to do by a side
trail.
"I saw Kurds killing the wounded
and saw soldiers killed after they had
surrendered. Emir Effendl, an ofilcei
of the gendarmerie, also Witnessed
this, and he had one man marched
away as a prisoner. I could not find
out what became of him.
Almost Wiped Out.
"Of the French detachment of 50C
only 132 soldiers and one officer re
turned to Urfa. The remainder pre
sumably were killed."
After the French' evacuated Urfa the
conditions there were reported greatly
Improved for the American relief
workers, as supplies of water and fuel
had been cut off and provisions were
nearly exhausted.
The Turks held a general meeting
of rejoicing over the departure of the
French and declared In favor of "a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people." They de
clared they no longer recognized the
Ottoman government, promised protec
tlon to Armenians, and decided not to
disarm them. Miss Mnry Caroline
Holmes, who speaks the Turkish lan
guage. attended the meeting, and at
her suggestion the Turks Included an
Armenian deputy In a delegation se
lected to go to Angora to report the
evacuation of Urfa.
On April 21 a party of American re
lief workers, Including Mrs. Richard
Mansfield. Was uneventfully escorted
by the Turks from Urfa to Aleppo.
Miss Margaret Weller of Bloomsburg,
Pa., who remained at Urfa, was hit by
a spent ball during the slego, but her
Injury was very slight.

ABOUT THE LAST ARGUMENT
After That It W aa Time for Hubby to
Oat Buay and Buy Her That
Davenpdrt.
What she desired was a new daven*
port
Shf had talked davenport until her
husband's soul was tried, She made
It her business to be carefully scruti
nizing the furniture advertisements
every time he taught her reading the
newspaper.
She left pictures of davenports ly
ing around on the table. She sent for
furniture catalogue* and he always
found the pages open that* contained
davenport Illustrations.
The other evening he glanced over
her shoulder as she was going through
her regular evening performance with
the newspaper.
"More davenport advertisement, I
suppose," he murmured a bit sarcas
tically.
"Ko, John, dear," she. replied In sim
ilar vein. "You would buy me^thls
with far less persuasion."
Then he took a second look at the j
paper. She was reading a coffin com
pany's advertisement
Somewhat Humorous "Ad."
nil! Nye, known in I1I3 day as a J
humorist, owned a cow which ho want- ,
ed to sell, and put nn advertisement j
In the paper which read like this:
"Owing to Ill-health, I will sell at my
residence, In township 19, range 18,
according to the government survey,
one plush raspberry cow, aged eight
years. She Is of undoubted courage
and gives milk frequently. To a man
who does not fear death In any form
she would be a great boon. She is
very much attached to her present
home with a stay chain, but she will
be sold to any one who will agree to
treat her right. She is one-fourth
short-horn and three-fourths hyena. I
will also throw a double-barrel shot
gun, which goes with her. Her name
is Rose. I would rather sell her to
a non-resident."
Set Aim In Ufe.
A definitely fixed goal Is a chal
lenge to ingenuity.* That la especially
true for the trail blazer. Haphazard
goals are apt to be the avenue to the
way of least resistance. Attaining
them is merely a matter of finding the
easiest short-cut to them. With a rul
ing purpose it' 8 different. Every pos
sible motive and means is marshaled
to gain the end. Oldtlme methods are
seen to fall when most needed. So
the youthful dreamer puts his wits to
work to discover new methods to gain
the point. And It's surprising what
an amount of unrated genius there Is
waiting to be called forth by a great
occasion. ? Exchange.
Autumn Leaves.
The Infant school is out, and a
crowd of tiny children come chasing
each other down the road, langhln#
and calling, running in the wind, th%lr
cheeks rosy, their eyes dancing and
their hair flying. Just as they reach
me a big gust of wind shakes the trees
above their heads, and quantities of
yellow, brown and golden leaves come
swirling down over and around them
? and children and leaves all whirl
away together. Whereupon I paint a
mental picture, all russet and amber
and little laughing faces, and call it
"Autumn Leaves," for not all our hap
piest pictures get placed on canvas. ?
