Harem Victim
Tells Story
Stolen from her home on the night
before her wedding and Imprisoned for
five years in a Turkish harem, Aghavnl
Milllan, a beautiful nineteen-year-old
Armenian girl from HitlIs, has at last
been discovered by her lover and
through the assistance of the Near
Bast Relief forcibly taken from her
master and brought to one of the
American Rescue Homes in Constanti
nople. Here she will stay until ar
rangements can be made for her mar
riage and her return to her old home.
“My story—It Is like hundreds of
others," Aghavnl said simply. "I was
siolen from my home on the night that
the massacres first began In Bitlis. It
was the night before I was to have
been married. I was Just folding my
wedding veil away when the Turkish
soldiers broke Into the house. They
carried me off. I— They took me
AGHAVNI MI L LI AN.
up to Constantinople to the house ol'
the man"— She stopped and put one
hand over her eyes, a hand that bore
the tell-tale tattoo of her Turkish mas
ter.
“But what does my story matter I"
she exclaimed. “I am only one of so
many. It Is my people and their fu
ture that matters. Somehow we must
rebuild our nation and show to the
Turks who tried to bent out our life
and to the whole world that, despite
what we have suffered, Armenia Is
still unconquerable.”
Aghavnl Mlllan Is, as she says, only
one of many. It Is estimated that one
hundred thousand girls are still held
captive In Turkish harems. The Near
Bast Relief, America’s official agent
tn Armenia, Is making this work of
rescue one of the most Important fea
tures of Its program, and It Is to them
and the support they receive from
the American people that Aghavnl’s
unfortunate sisters, still captive, mast
look for their release.

Lost for five days in the woods
without food or supplies was the pre
dicament in which Fred Terwilliger
found himself last week.
Terwilliger was at Helm bay. on a
trapping trip, he started out on the
morning of the 24, to set his traps. In
the afternon he started back to the
beach, but was unable to find his way
and spent the night in the woods. The
next morning he started out again,
and after walking all day came out to
a beach, but not the place where he
started from. That night he had a
roasted porcupine for Thanksgiving
dinner, and slept in a deserted cabin
that he came across in his wander
ings. After three more days of trav
eling, he came to the Union bay can
nery, and was brought to town on one
of the tenders.
According to word received by
Postraasted Albert Wile, an emergency
mail service route has been author

This covers six round trips from
Petersburg to Wrangell, and four ad
ditional round trips, from Ketchikan,
to Wrangell and Petersburg.
S. D. Hogue, of Petersburg, has
been awarded the contract. The first

made from Petersburg to Wrangell
and back to get the mail left by the
Princess Beatrice. The Princess boats
stop at Wrangell, but not at Peters
