The community which endured the longest sufferings was a part of the British Bagdad colony. In December, 1914, most of the man of the colony were deported to Aleppo by Djemal Pasha, whoc whether he had a soft spot in his usually bloodthirsty heart for the British of Bagdad, or whether he merely wished to annoy the Germans, allowed them to leave the country by sea in February, 1915, without exacting any parole. Some of them returned to Mes opotamia, where they did civil work for the British Expedition- ary Force and the Administration, but did not do military work, lest this should prejudice the position of their families at Bagdad.
After the Battle of Ctesiphon the women and children, with a few elder men who had remained, were deported to Mosu Their deportation, which was made as uncomfortable as possible for them was the work of Mex Hesse, the German Consul General at Bagdad, who was as offensive to them as Baron von der Goltz, was civil. At Mosul the whole party, numbering with Armenian and Chaldæan servants
36, were crammed into a house

PRUSSIAN MORALITY. Permission to walk in the gar- den was refused them, and their baalth suffered cruelly; many would have died, as did one little child, had they not been befriend- ed by a Prussian military doctor. who, though, as he himself ad- mitted, not above inoculating waifs and strays with epidemic disease and sending them to the British lines to breed a pestilence. was of opinion that prisoners of war and interned persons deserv ed good treatment.
When finally allowed to move to another house where there was more room and A slightly
minimum of comfort, they were strictly forbidden to hold any conversation with the unhappy convoys of Kut prisoners who passed through Mosul, but in spite of this and of their own need, they were able, though their faithful servants, to supply food who had been left absolutely to one such convoy of 200 men
without food at Mosul, and thus to tide them over several days. At last the Turkish Govern- ment gave orders thatthey were to leave Mosul. When they reached Ras-el-Ain the local Turkish Governor, who probably starved or massacred more Armenians than any other during the period 1915-17, refused to give them them food or drink, and compelled them to camp. in the open in a furious sandstorm for three days. Their servants were able to get them a little food, but their danger was great, and they were saved only through American intervention with Djemal Pasha, who bade them be sent to Aleppo. Thence they were sent to Constantinople. One lady died of exhaustion after arriving there,
It may be noted that two of the members of the Bagdad colony. Messrs. Tod, and Greer, were captured at Kut-el-Amara. They had been granted commissions to protect them, but were accused of breaking parole, were
im- prisoned for weeks at a time by the Turks, each in a sentry box, and fed on the worst possible food.
One of them used to be awakened hourly at night for many successive nights by his Turkish gaolers, who at times would measure both for their coffins. They were tried several times, till the Tarks tired of tormenting them, and decided to sentence them to death, w
At this momentan unusually intelligent member of the Court- martial bethought him of tele- graphing to Dismal Fashs to nek whether parapla had been required of the prisoners when they were fret allowed to leave Turkey. Djemal replied that no parole had bean demanded or given, and they were therefore saved, but their i hand hind led to mental and from which

At Constantinople Colonel Churchill of the Ottoman Gendarmerie, a British subject in the Turkish service who had shown such zeal for the Ottoman cause during the Cretan troubles of 1898 and 1899 as to be obliged to flee the island after the Turco-British incident at Candia, was arrested and accused of having dabbled in Turkish politics, and was put to the tartare by the orders of Bedri Bey, the infamous chief of police. He went mad and eventually died from shock, but not before he was seen by British residents, a pitiable wreck, lamed by the bastinado.
Of the houses, some 300 in number, requisitioned by Turks or Germans from British owners, all were pillaged, and wanton damage was often added to theft. The fact that the owners bad often been most charitable to the Turkish poor who lived near ther made no difference.
