Children are born and people die In our yard every day or so. The other day tains wero born In a part of our school room. This is Just to tell you " some of the conditions here This neck we huve lived with the! thot of flight uppermost In our minds. News of approaching Link 1st forces has sent the people Into spasm of fear, and preperatlons for running away, but Where? All roads are cut t)lf, we have nowhere to flee. To floe to Russia is like fleeing to a flrey furnace. South Is a country filled with starving people and all kluds of Turks to flee west Is where the Turks are again victorious; East across the lake the Moslems hold everything so that even official letters aro confiscated and held. Not a word from Tabrls until this code letter leaked through for weeks. Every one realizes that for the fleeing it means starvation and death for of the people. Yet they hate to remain and meet butchering. Weil to Jteop strong and calm among such confusion and nights of horror is certainly taxing. Some days I can hardly stand it. Especially when they talk flight for It Is impossible for Dr. Ellis and I and our little son Edwin to flee at the present time. When we think of the peaceful life of America I Just want to be there too for a little while. Dr. Ellis Is too busy, he Is carrying those responsible treasury ships and has charge of Cborofregloo weaving factories besides a lot of medical work which Increases every day as the typhoid and typhus fever spread over the city. In spit of these terrible trials I am keeping very well. The starving children are terible to see. If you had only one glimpse you could hardly endure it. They die at our gates and In our streets, and their wretched naked bones are exposed to the weather. The work here is almost hideous. The next entry is dated May 31 and is in part as follows: Nearly a month since I have written you and nearly a year siuce your last letter was written. My heart nearly burst at times I want to hear from yqu all so badly and if the boys are In, the war, and Everything. We have had bloodshed continually around us. Three or four times the whole Syrian nation including us missionaries have been ready to flee, and we know-no- t whither. When I say most of us I leave out Dr.andMrs. Packard and Dr. Ellis and myself for we have decided the hospital should be held and if we perished, we perished. Almost three weeeks ago we had the worst Bcare of all for the Turks were reported surrounding us from two or three sides and our Friends (?) the Moslems ,helds our on(J means or gateway of escape. However the station decided took up the deciding of what we should do and most of the folks decided to flee. We hospital folks decided to stay. Well, those Geloo mountaineers we have been keeping alive these three years since they were driven from their homes by the Kurds and Turks, were after all our salvation. They are a fierce, hardy race, wild as the wolves, and fearless as men can be. The leaving of the Russians left us the stamping ground for the Turks and of course they soon appeared. Then these mountaineers armed themselves for the protection of their people and the Christians. We first had a terible battle In the city with the Moslems. The Syrians won. Then Turks and Kurds from every quarter began to be heard of and this brave little army has fearlessly faced each new foe, and to the amazement of the Moslems and us all, we have won. It Is truly nothing short of miraculous, and the hand of the Lord has save us as truly as He saved the Israelites of old. Their enemies, much stronger than they were, dissembled these two days and are at war with the Turks again. The wounded come In so fast these days that the hospital ran over and now the men are sleepf ing out under the stars. The doctors have nearly worked their heads off, and are still doing so for that matter. Dr. Todd tried to hold the fort over In Salamas and did bravely for a while In spite of the perfidy, lies, treachery and danger. Then he got sick and was brought here for a month. Yesterday the native physician came down with typhus fever and now Dr. Packard has it. That leaves Dr. Ellis the only physician on legs. The starvation is indescribable, sickness Is spreading, and no one knows how bad It really Is, only it fs very bad.
