The following story, which leaked
ortt of a Yale faculty meeting. is typi-
cal of “3Waterloo” Wheeler: The case
of a fast student was before the fac
ulty. Though the Yale principle is to
meddle as little as possible with the.
life and morals of the student, insist-
ing merely on the .1 ule ep 11 good
scholarship stand and be regular In
attendance, still flagrant cases of mts
conduct are summarily disposed of.
The student in question had been seen
in company with a woman of rather
poor reputation and there was a
question of dismissal. Lest he be
wrongfully sentenced. the cautious
Professor Ladd. the philosopher, had
inquired, “Was the young man posi-
tively identified?" Oh. yes: the profes
sor knew the man well: there could
be no niistakt. Then Professor Wheel-
er looked up quizzlcailly, tapped .bia
spectacles against the fingers of his
left hand, a charm: c gesture.
and inquired: “And can the professor
also positively identify trite other par-
ty?"——From Familiar Yarns of“ the

TARSUS, Asiatic Turkey, Saturday,
April 24, via Constantinople, May 4.—
Authentic details of the atrocities curry
niitted by the fanatical Mohammedans
in the villages and farms in this (Is-

trict are now coming into ansus with
sickening abundance. The worst par-
ticulars of these narratives cannot be
mentioned, but they set forth without
doubt that at least 10,000 persons lost
their lives in this province. andtonie
estimates place the total casualty list
at 25. 000. Villages like Osmpnieb, Ba-
ssche, Hainadich. Karo. Keoy and‘Ko
solook were actually wiped out. Each
of these places had populations of
from 500 to 600 people. Other towns
with a very much larger population,
in some cases 4,000 to 5,000 people.
suffered severely. In one town of 4,~
000 there are fewer than 100 left.
nearly all women and children. It was
the same thing with the huntreds of
chiftiike, or farms. that dot this wide
and fertile plain. The slaughter was
unsparing; even Greeks and Syrians
were struck down with the Armen-
fans.

Entire families were burned to death
in their homes. Hundreds of girls and
women Were maltreated and carried off
to the harems, where the women were
separated from the' men.

The correspondent was informed
that at one place a party of 100 Ar-
menians surrender ed to the soldiers.
The prisoners we e. taken to an open
field, where the women were ordered
to stand apart from the men. Every
one of the men was then shot. in
many cases they were done to death
with their women clinging to them,
trying to save their lives. A large
number of women were wounded be-
cause of their persistence.

Sixty mfin who were brought down
into this district (rain iiadjlu are now

Young Turks aro'und Tarsua are to-
day trading Armenian girls among
each other for horses and modern rc-
peatlng rinles.

The entire ten days seem to have
been an inscnaate orgy of but and vio
lanes in fb name of race and religion.
in the massacres of fourteen years ago
there was no such desire to kill women
and children as has been evidenced in
the last ten days. There have been
numerous instances of the murdering
of women and children with deliber
tlon. 11nd there are other instance
where women were brought out one
by one and shot down. the by standers
clapping their hands at each fresh ex-
ecution. The local authorities are giv-
ing four cents a day for each refugee
in Tampa. There are about 4.000 rec
fugces here. and this sum does not suf~
flee. The government allotment is be-
ing appointed with funds of the
American Mission. The local omcials
say they are soon going to discontinpe
contributions. and if this is done there
will be a famine.

The yard of the. American Mission
house looks like a prison pen. When
the captain of a French mun-ofwar at
Mersina came 11p to Tar-ans with a
number of officers on a vlslt'he called
at the Mission house. “My God!” be
said. “This is terrible. where do all
these people sleep?"

The men wander around all ‘night.
trying to keep warm. The women and
children sleep at night on the floors of
the school rooms. Very few of them
have beds. in the day time the men
take their turn. usually curling tip in
the sunshine outside. There have
been four births at the mission since

‘" the refugees chine in.

In the meantime the Turks in the
wasted. country round about are pas-
turing their horses_and cattle on the
green crops of their Armenian victims.
