DESOLATE SCENES
• IN WAR SWEPT
FRANCE
I.lKGIv July 22— Along the routs
t’t-om devasted Louvain to this desolate
city tali smokeless chimneys line the
formerly prosperous valley ot the
Meuse. Idle coal mines, huge plan's
which belched fire anil sizzled with
the gurgle of the melting lead and the
boiling steel are now silent and aband
oned. There i* no outward visible sign
of devastation but a superficial ex
amination of the inside ol the plants
reveals the fact that this district has
been stripped as thoroughly and mo- *
systematically than the line of battb*
where the cannon roared for four
years.
The Cockeiill Manufacturing Co.,
employed 12.000 workmert; at the
-mall arms-factory “Fabrique Nation
ale.” 4.500 skilled workmen manufac
tured revolvers and rifles, the inven
tion of Browning of Texas; the Oug
nee-Munoz plant manufactured steel
machinery, locomotives and presse,
14.000 hands having been employed
there. Now a few laborers wander lik**
lost souls in the vast halls which seem
immense because of the removal by
the Germans of all the machinery for
merly filling up every available inch
of floor space. They are repairing the
few dilapidated automobiles , machin
es and locomotives the Germans le!t
behind in their deliberate retreat and
in their systematic plundering through
four years.
The managers of these plants know
whole their machinery has been remov
-ed. They have the names of the firms
in the various cities of Germany which
are now manufacturing with these
stolen machines the products that in a
few months they will attempt to un
load upon the world’s markets. They
are dissatisfied and bitter in their
comment because they feel they have
been neglected by the Peace Confer
ence. They feel Germany should have
been ordered to return at once tho
stolen machinery or that they should
at least have been permitted to en
ter Germany and remove them to their
plants. They are not short of steel.

A manager of one plant expressed
himself as more than disillusioned:
“Times have changed since the armis

I'l'ON ARMENIANS
NEW YORK- July 22— One of the
most pit fill stories of savagery pra<*‘* (
Iced by Turks or Circassians upon the •
Armenians deported during the war I
from their homes into the country el
the Aiabbs is told by Victoria \a'
>bab<lian- a girl of eighteen years. He'
story has been made public hero by
tin* American Committee for Armen
ian and Syrian Relief. The girl was
tin* daughter of a well-to-do merchant
who had a shop in Constantinople and
another at \’ovshor*Turkoy- when* the
family lived.
In her narrative to a British phy
sician she said that her father an 1
kfour brothers were deported and that
h«*r father died while on the journey
from a blow inflicted by a gendarme.
Carrying their little fortune of 2.000
pounds in gold they were marched
south to the vicinity of DeirFs-Zov
(probably on the Kuphratos river).
Then* they found a great congregation
of refugees- said to number 7-000 fam
ilies. •
While at Heir.Fs Zor- Murad or
Suvar- the girl said twenty Armenia i
priests were taken from among the i *
fugees- bound together- sent a wav
and killed. In the river at Suvar she
saw one hundred bodies of men, wo
men and children some with thei
heads off. %
After collecting a ransom- the Mut
essarif ordered the men of the refu
gees shoot down three hundred of
them. Then the Mutessarif- Zeki Bey
ordered nine of the bodies of the Ar
menians placed in the road and drove
his carnage over them. He announced
that he would kill all the male refu
gees over two years old. Up to that
time her brother had escaped deat i
by bribery but he was taken away
with others and on leaving said to his
mother: “Mother* I am going to di'\
(live me your hand and I will kiss it.
Forgive me anything I have done
wrong to you. (loodbye. “Her brother
was shot before Victoria’s eyes. She
declared also that she* saw Armenians
killed by driving wooden stake *<>
through them that two were buried
alive by the Arabs and that eventually
the Circassians began to kill all the
women and cnildren with their knives,
her description of this massacre is to
awful to be told for she gives details
of the fiendish manner in which it wjw
accomplished.
Afterward Victoria was seperate 1
from her mother and sent to the tent
of an Arab where she remained for
two weeks. In that period, she said,
she saw two hundred small boys from
Meskeneh brought through Deir- E »•
Zor to Shadadieh and saw these child
ren killed in various ways and thrown
or kicked into the river.
She escaped from the Arab’s tent*
was recaptured by'thc Arabs with two
other girls from Harput but later was
allowed to go her way. After a year
and a half she reached Aleppo where
her story was told. She was informed
that her mother and one brother es
caped from the Circassians or Arabs.
