for the thousands who will never

more than temporary aid is needed.

Unless rescued from actual statvn-*

REMOVE BRANDS
OE ARMENIAN
WOMEN
NEW YORK, Dec., 13— A simple
in hod to obliterate from the lace:
of thousands of Armenian girls am
v.i non the brands and indelible in
tattoo marks placed upon them durim
the war by Turks, Kurds and Arabs i.*
so 'ght by Dr. Wilfred M. Post of
P< nc< toe University, who has just re
timed from a trip through the Near
East.
The victims of the branding and ta
t^o'Tig. in every case, were Christians
and their captors thus marked them
as Mohammedans. Freed from ens.iv
»u< at they nought at once to remov
the evidence of their bondage, employ
ing disfiguring acids for the purpos
^h ny of them flocked to the relief
ho pita's. Or. Post said, to be treated
fo* tho self-inflicted burns.
Or. Post, who was born in Turkey
ar 1 served as a medical missionary in
th t country before the war, said the
tn‘ tooed women were among hundreds
of* thousands of destitute persons in
*h t country who are being cared for
bv the Near East Relict workers from j
Yrueriea.
“While removal of tattoo marks
<m*»not be classed with the urgent n?*
rr ;??v of providing food and clothing
r,r SOO.OOO starving Armenian women
and children.” says Dr. Post, “the
wr ’ring of this brand which show?
th t the woman has been an inmate of
a ’’arem. seriouslv interfers with the
w* k of reconstruction nncf rehabilia
tio i among such persons. During the
fo r years that Turkov attempted to
ev '»*m;nate the Armenian peopD b<*
a vstem of slaughter and deportat;on.
n* ct’cally every young woman in that
a nt**v was at the mercy of the .\fo
h: amedans.”
Removal of tattoo marks has never
be n given serious attention, accord
in • to prominent dermatologists. Oc

jasiohally a request han come from a
former sailor to have some design re
moved from his arm or a society wo
man who wished to have the initials
>f her former fiance or husband re

moval have been so dangerous and
.heir success so questionable that ,)hy
3?cians have considered the marks to

Several prominent dermatologists
have offered their services to Dr. i’ost
o assist him in his research work for
the benefit of marked Armenian wo
men. Among those who arc aiding in
he work is Dr. George H. Washburn

USE ALSATIAN LANGUAGE
ST It ASS BURG, Doc., 13— The lan
guage most commonly heard on die
streets here is not German nor French
but Alsatian, a patois not more di>- i
similar to French than Is the patois of j
the Bretagne farmer of Brest long
shoremen. Strassburgers are intent
however, to eliminate German as
much as possible.
This evening I heard loud
in a corner of a dining room of the
hotel just behind my table, it was ihe j
head waiter berating one of his help.
The voice bore a specially strong Ccr
ma i accent although the words were
Fr *nch. They were: “I don’t want to
hear a single word of German spoken
he e; French it must be from now on.”
