TURKS INFLICT AWFUL CRUELTY ON ARMENIANS 100,000 Murdered in Two Cities, Children and Women Starve in Camps.

BOMBAY, July 2. (By Malt.) The following statement given to The As- . soelated Press by a British officer now In a hospital here presents a vivid picture of the sufferings undergone by the Armenians of whom comparatively littie first hand information has hitherto been forthcoming: "Before I got my wound in the fighting up beyond Bagdad I came into con- ' tact on several occasions with a highly educated Armenian who had escaped from the Turks and was being employed by us as an Interpreter. The stories he told of the inhumanities inflicted upon his compatriots were so appall- " lng that I made notes of his conversations and have attempted hereto reproduce in something like his own language, so that you can get at the heart of the man and realize what he and all educated Armenians feel. The interpreter was in Constantinople until tha end of last year when he was sent to the front with a party of Armenians, several of whonae escaped." What H Said. The interpreter's story follows: "What you have read and heard about Armenia is not a hundredth part of the truth. Dantes inferno was a heaven compared with the hell that the Turks have made of my country. Something cf awful reality of the past twelve months I have myself seen In passing through on the way to the front. , "At Aleppo there are four factories In which, under the supervision of de ported Armenians, two thousand Armenian women are being employed under terrible conditions. The women are deportees. One of them said to me: 'On a halt during our deportations, I saw a gendarme bury a sick woman alive. Cold blooded murders were an everyday occurrence. Our guards had orders to kill on the spot anyone who lagged behind on the journey. . Often several were killed at once, and there was no separate grave for them the bodies were Just thrown into a ditch together and covered. It was all horrible to behold, but our eyes eventually became hardened to the sight.' f Murdered by Thousands. . "Bab and Zor are places never to be forgotten by Armenians. I have visited them. Do you know what happened there a few months since? "By the order of the governor, Ahf, nearly 100,000 of my brothers were murdered by armed Circassians. "At Boustants, I saw six railway trucks of little Armenian children beins despatched 'to an unknown destination What had these little innocents done to defend? Was it the mere fact of their being alive and being sons and daughters of our thrice unhappy race? "The German soldiers that one sees around the stations in Armenia are centrally of a low type and not far behind the Turks in their disregard for the rights of our people. Disregard Religious Beliefs "Their cruelty Is a little different from that of the Turk but the difference is only one of kind. The Turk, for example often respects certain things which we have learned to associate with our religious or racial beliefs; the German has no respect for anything, notbing is too sacred for his profane hands. The Turk frequently used to show some respect and deference to the upper class Armenians, the educated people, regarding them as perhaps, capable of being useful even in a Turkish dominion. The German, as soon as he arived here, pointed out the educated Armenian as the most dangerous of all, and instigated the Truks into organizing a ruthless persecution of the intellectual classes of Armenians. One day they surrounded the offices of the conservative newspaper Asadamard, arrested all the staff and deported tehm; I know not why though. Will they ever return? Who knows? Children Are Starved "One day I walked from a place where thousands of innocent women, girls and children were bivouacked, suffering nameless miseries. I walked away because I could not bear any more to gaze upon them, and I came to a hill where I saw a little child. I was in Turkish uniform. The child came near me and cried in Turkish: "Give me for God's sake a piece of bread. For five days I have eaten nothing but this." He pointed to some melon skin that had been left lying on the road. I aswered him In Armenian and the poor boy Jumped up Into my arms, saying "Art thou Armenian?" He remained there a minute uttering no other word. But I felt warm tears falling down my cheeks. "The waters of th Euphreates, the sands of the deserts of Mespotamia, are the graves of the whole Armenian nation. I can no longer weep. My tears have frozen in my eyes." FIND BODY OF SAILOR QTJEENSTOWN, Aug. 14. The body of an unidentified American bluejacket about thirty-four years old was ashed ashore here yesterday. Keys tied around the neck bore the letters "U. S. N." An Investigation is being made by the American consulate.

DYNAMITERS CAUGHT TRYING TO BLOW UP NORWEGIAN SHIPS CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Aug. 14 Investigation of the conspiracy having for an object the sinking with German bombs of a number of Norwegian ships, has been completed, according to the Tidenstegn, and action taken against Flnlanders and two Germans. They are accused of having transported many explosives from Germany to Norway Pand stored them at three places in Chrlstiania. The accused were paid by the German espionage headquarters at Stockholm. Christiania dispatches recently said that the leader of those arrested called himself Baron Von Rautenfels. It is doubted whether he really Is a baron. According to the Tidenstegn, 1,000 kilograms of explosives were sfei2ed, including a number of infernal machines. These were enclosed in cases resembling lumps of coal and were to have been put in . the coal bunkers aboard Norwegian ships.

OFFICIAL RULING ABOUT EXEMPTIONS FOR MARRIED MEN

QuestionCan a person married since July 20 base a claim for discharge on that ground? . Answer Marriage Is not of Itself a talid ground for making claim of discharge. ' ' ' " ' A man whose wife is mainly dependent on his daily labor for support may claim exemption on that ground. But dependency is a matter ef fact. The rule does not ask, "Is the husband, as a matter of law, liable to support the wife?" It asks, "Is the wife, as a matter of fact, mainly dependent on the d$ily labor of her husband for support? " Only the exemption boards can determine this fact. Where dependency is claimed and the circumstances show a marriage hastily consummated since July .20 by a man whose number is high on the available list the actual fact of dependency must be closely scrutinized. Moreover, by section 6 of the act of May IS, "any person who evades or aids another to evade the requirements of this act" is guilty of a misdemeanor; and local boards are authorized to warn persons who claim discharge on the ground of marriages contracted since the date of the act, that both parties are liable to prosecution under this provision if, in fact, the marriage was contracted solely with the intent to evade the performance of military duty. Persons who have declared their intention to become citizens. Where an alien has declared his intention to become a citizen more than two years ago, and has in the meantime never applied for final papers, such an alien is a declarant under the selective service act, and is therefore amenable to the draft, although It may be true that under the naturalization law such an alien would not have been able to take advantage of his declaration of intention for the purpose of obtaining full citizenship by applying for final papers immediately. The statute applies to those who have declared their intention, and makes no distinction as to whether the declaration of intention is one made within two years or not. Firemen, policemen and students not to be considered as "engaged in industry." In order to claim a discharge under the original jurisdiction of a district board, the claimant must show that he is engaged in one of the industries, including agriculture, upon which that jurisdiction is based. Questions have been asked whether , (a) Firemen, (b) Policemen, (c) Students in technical schools and colleges can be considered as engaged in such industries. None of these classes can be so considered, and therefore there is ho statutory authority for claiming or granting discharges in the case of firemen, policemen, or students in technical schools, under the provision of section 44 of the regulations for local and district boards.
