Proceeding from Slvas to BrzlngnanJ
and thence to Erzcrum, over the old,

met with many courtesies at the puml
of the Turks. Few Armenians were
found in these regions
As the frontier was approached
General Harboard was appealed to by
hundreds of Moslem families who
were traveling in cannans fleeing
from the regions pa:'ly controlled i
the Armenians
The Turks attempted to sjiow that
they had been much abused in the
past by the Armenians and at the
present time the Armenians were BtHl
carrying out massacres among them.
Tin outstanding fact evolved in Ira
versing the country is that it is Buf
fering from appalling lack in popula

through ihe mountains were found vil
lage after village deserted and in
ruins Aside from certain coast cities
