But Smokers Will Wonder How That

M. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themnelves from the bond
age of tobacco by means of a curious
artifice. Accordlug to his biographer,
, M. Gerard Harry, ' without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-
| reiving inspiration or crystallising it
' iu words. If he has not overcome the
, need, he has outflanked it. Smoking,
he noticed, had lost Its virtue as a
' stimulant, and instead of rousing the
brain to activity, as at first, had come
to disturb its functions; so now, in
lieu of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with a denlcotlnized preparation,
tasteless indeed, but harmless. His
pipe la still always alight when the
pen la busy, but It is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge Intended to

Ten Thoussnd Cared for in the Town
In Wssks Before Russians Arrived
—Provide Ingenious Defense
Against Turk Bullets.
New York.—Letters from tbe staff
of tbs American board of commission
ers for foreign missions who were in
Van, the old Armenian city In east
ern Turkey, during tbe recent trou
blous times, have just been received
at tbe offices of tbe board by way
of Petrograd.
They tell a thrilling
story of the last desperate weeks be
fore tbe Russians arrived, when
Turks were determined to crush the
Armenians, when tbe mission prem
ises were crowded with refugees and
the house* barricaded against shot
and shell. The wife of Dr. Clarence
D. Usaher thus tells the story of the
siege:
"As you know, there has been a
longstanding and well-grounded dis
satisfaction on the part of the Arme
nians with the Insincerity and in
justice of the 'Young Turk’ party in
power. This feeling has grown strong
since Turkey declared war against
Russia nix months ago.
"This suicidal rush Into the fray
was a most unpopular move among
Moslem and Christian alike, but its
consequences bore most heavily upon
tbe latter, who were pressed into
service and then deprived of their
arms and forced to work as day labor
ers without proper food or care. Thou
sands died of typhus and neglect
Punish Rebels, Was Order.
“It was small wonder that as many
a* possible secured exemption from
service or refused to be enlisted. The
government naturally regarded their
course as nothing less than treason,
so when a strong governor-general, the
brother-in-law of Enver Bey, was ap
pointed to Van. hie flrat concern was
to punish tbe rebels.
"Three weks ago last Friday tbe
military head of this revolutionary fac
tion. with two of his companions, was
killed at command of the vali, who
had sent them to Shaddakh as official
peace commissioners to settle a ques
tion between the government and the
revolutionists. Another prominent Ar
menian leader, a member of parlia
ment. was seized and deported to the
capital. April 17, the day word was
received of the assassination of the
revolutionary leader, Ishan, Doctor
Hasher and Mr. Yarrow (also of the
American board) were called by the
vali, who told them plainly that he
was determined to crush the rebel
lion If tt involved the extermination
of tho whole Armenian pqpulation, but
that he would prefer not to injure
the women and children.
Refuse Turkish Guard.
“As we proposed to open our prem
ises to refugees ho urged placthg n
guard of SO Turkish soldiers here. We
at first consented to the suggestion,
but the revolutionists said experience
had taught them the soldiers could
not bo trusted. They were unwilling
to allow the soldiers to come. We
have been thankful many times since
that they refused to do so.
"That evening we consulted with
Signor Sbardone, Italian consular
agent, the only consul left in the City
to represent our Interests and those
of other foreigners. It was midnight
before our plana were made. That
very evening neighbors began to bring
in beds, carpet*, boxes and wheat, as
those who realized the situation con
sidered our premises, those of the Ger
mans and Bbardone’s the only safe
places.
"The next day was Sunday, and we
had church services as usual, but all
day long tho streams of people poured
through the gates. Men, women and
children were loaded with their house
hold effects. Tho rich hired 'hatnals'
to bring piles of bedding and beauti
fully polished chests of clothing, and
tho poor hurried in with their pitiful
treasures of bare necessities.
Lit
tle donkeys brought in large sacks of
ffour and wheat.
Hay Obtained for ths Cattle.
“Moat of tho horses In the city had
already been seized by the govern
ment, but a few were found to bring
hay for the cows, which had to be
put In the basement of our old school
building as our small stable was full.
We have had such a rainy spring that
the ground was too wet to store goods
outside so we packed the basements
of our now school buildings from floor
to colling with boxes, bedding and
bags of wheat and flour, reserving all
rooms above for the people we knew
would need them.
“Before we had dressed Monday we
had had applications for rooms from
half a dozen families and by night
we In our houses had a regular hotel
of more than seventy people, while
attic, wood room and halls were piled
with goods of every description.
"Our family are all together in the
middle bedroom, which is barricaded
by a wail of large oil cans filled with
earth.
This shuts out most of the
sunlight, but tbe windows are down
from tho top, and with three open
doors wo can get good ventilation.
The sitting room windows are pro
tected by bags of flour piled up on the
wide sills and a triple hanging of
heavy blankets across tbe bay win
dows to keep out the stray bullets.
Bullet Holes in the Wall*.
"Tbe need of such protection Is evi
denced by the many broken tiles on
our roof, and forty or more bullet
holos in tbe walls and the broken
windows through which four balls
have entered our living rooms. Some
times the air hums with the constant
flying of bullets over and through the
premises, and It is a miracle that so
few have been hurt.
It was an ex
citing moment when an unexpected
cannon ball struck the wall of our
house only ten inches above tbe bead
of tbe mayor's wife, who was outside
the study door, and fell haiknless at
her feet. The same morning another
oannon ball fell Into the stable yard
a few feet from where Neville (Dr.
U eSher's son) was stand lug.
He
brought the empty shell In, still warm,
to show us.
"Tbe benches from the church and
seats from the school rooms have been
removed to make floor space. Many
are buddled in the low dark basement
of the church; tbe audience room and
galleries ar* crowded. The schools
are filled even to the hallways. The
hospital is considered ordinarily to be
full if it has 50 patients, now 140
ar* under Its roof.
There are at
least 5,000 refugees on our premises,
and as many more In tbe near vicin
ity.
The German compound resem
bles ours and Sbardone feeds between
thirty and forty at his table.
How Armenians Make Ammunition.
"Th* Armenians have shown won
derful Ingenuity In making gunpow
der, dynamite bombs and serviceable
bullet*. They make a mortar to throw
bombs, and now are at work on four
cannon, the only weapons the Turks
have which they have not. I visited
their cartridge factory last week. It
was most interesting to see tbe proc
ess from the start, when disks of
copper were cut from plates, to the fin
ished product of a polished cartridge
with even English lettering on the
end. Everything was handmade, but
between 2,000 and 3,000 cartridges is
the daily output.
"I never imagined that I could be
so interested in munitions of war, or
hope so fervently that the revolution
ists should win, but it is now a ques
tion of saving the remnant of the peo
ple from massacre and starvation, of
defending their lives and homes from
fiendish cruelty, and we exult over
every advance of the little band and
pray that iu some way permanent help
way ccme to them.
"After three weeks of fighting in
the city the Armenians have th« ad
vantage. But in the defenseless vil
lages the story is very different. It
is wholesale and systematic massacre
of as many as possible and the taking
of many prisoners and sending them
later to the head of the revolutionsts
to be fed. In this way starvation will
finish the slaughter.
"From the first the most of our refu
gees were villagers, some from many
miles away. When our premises could
hold no more the houses near by and
protected by the positions held by
the revolutionists were filled.
It la
estimated that at least 10,000 fugitives
are being fed in tho gardens. It is
impossible to do justice to their con
dition. Fleeting without time to col
lect their food, they come to us rag
ged, barefoot, hungry and sick from
exposure and fear.
"Many of the regular Turkish sol
diers are averse to butchery, so the
vali has promised plunder and glory
to the lawless Kurds, who are nothing
loath to do his will. One morning
40 women and children, dying or
wounded from Turkish bullets, were
brought to our hospital. Little one*
crying pitifully for their mothers, who
were killed while fleeing, and moth

they had to leave behind on the plains.
Some of our orphan girls ask us if
God will forgive them for leaving one

could not manage the third. I could
