It was on May 1st, 1915, that the series of events that was to break up the happy home of Vorperian began. On that day 1,000 Turkish soldiers suddenly surround. od Kharpool acity of some 40,000 where Turperian, his father, mother, two sisters and little brother lived. All the prominent men of the town were imprisoned save a few tradesmen who were necessary to the Turke For some reason young Vorperian's father was not jailed with the rest. The Turks occupied all the strategic points of the city and amused themselves by torturing their prisoners.

One of the professors in history of Euphrates college, who was known to Vorperian, was beaten with sticks and his hair and nails pulled out. They then barned his beard from his face and final |ly, as a filting climax, he was crucified.

FATHER 16 SUMMONED.

1-Our duty to the country in its present needs

The First Lord of the Admiralty has sent the following reply for communica tion through the Admiral Superintendent to those who passed the resolution:—

I have read with much satisfaction the resolution passed last night at the meeting of established workmen in the Chatham yard. The spirit which inspired it is entirely in keeping with the patriotism which has characterized the £720k generally of the royal" "dock- yards throughout the war period. It will be read with certainly no less satisfaction by the men of the Fleet and our soldiers at the fint, who are enduring such hardships and dangers at this time on our behalf

t

Enfield Lock district against the engineers There is a very strong feeling in the who have come out on strike, and a series of meetings wore held to protest against the action of the men. The meetings were called by a local postman on behalf of the wives of soldiers and sailors, and the following resolution was passed by 800 people

sailors wives, supported by the people of That this meeting of soldiers' and Enfield Wash and Enfield Lock, enter our protest against the A.SE. meri coming out on strike, and we call on the Govern ment to arrest them and send them into the Army forthwith

A motor-charsbane full of wounded soldiers stopped opposite a crowd of strikers who were discussing the position. Within a couple of minutes not a striker was to be seen.

DEPARTURES,

At midnight on July 28th Vorperian's father, who was a professor in the Ameri- can college of Euphrates and also prin- cipal of the high school there, was taken from his home by a Turkish officer. The prisoner was hauled before the mayor of Kharpoot, Turk. In his presence a man named Fermanion, a prominent Armenian merchant, was tortured and interrogated by turns because it was thought he knew of hidden munitions. They beat him and pulled out his nails,

The joy of the family over the return of the husband and father was great, as they had not expected to see him again alive. But sight of his fellow country man's sufferings at the prison so affected him that he was sent to a hospital and was released when the order came for the people of the city to leave for Ourfa.
