He escaped from Turkey, crossed the mountains into the Russian Cau- easus, traveled through Siberia, Ko- rea, China and Japan to America, landing in Seattle, Wash, May 1, 1917.

No less than a score of ice-fed torrents have their origin in the great glacial system of Mount Ranier alone, A glacier is not a stationary blan- ket of snow, clinging imert to the mountain slopes, It is a slow-moving, stream-like body of ice, descendifg the steep sides of the mountain by reason of its own weight, Up in the region of the eternal snowflelds the glacier begins its ca- reer. Here the snow piles"up against the rock-walls until it attains suff- client depth and weight to acquire movement. As the mass slowly moves away from thd rock, huge cre- vasses known as "bergschrunds" are formed. Viewed from above, nothing is to be seen in these great gashes but clean snow, piled layer upon layer.

In Mareh, 1915, suddenly our town was sur- | rounded by Turkish soldiers and all of the prominent Armenian mer- chants, doctors, dentists, professors and business men were imprisoned. Then they began to torture them. 1 do not like to tell you sad things, and to tell of torturing in the land of freedom geems to me not good, but I must tell you of the suffering of my people. They tortured the professor of his- tory in our American missionary col- 1 lege. First they beat him with a stick; then they burned his half; then they burned his fingers, and fin- ally they crucified him; and all the time he was murmuring," "Oh, God, all this for your sake." They did not arrest my father at first, but iater they took him to the a gun and ammunition, They then both went forward to the burning part, and succeeded in getting to the ammunition, which was by this time badly scorched, pull- ed it away from the flames, and threw it overboard. They .hen broke open the door of the galley, which was on fire inside, to enable a pumping light- Sr to play her hose into it. They re- peated the same thing with the cabin. ¥ ~- By their work they made it pos- sible to subdue the five and save fur- ther damage and loss of life, At any moment whilst they were on board the Musquash the ammunition might have exploded. ------------------------ Trapping Salmon.

For months we lived under the pro- tection of tlie American consul and the American missionaries. But It was the intention of the Turkish Gov- ernment to kill every 7 rmenian stu- dent.' Of the 500 boy students in the Armenian college where I studied only five escaped, and it became im- possible for me to livé there any long- er. We planned to escape over the mountains to the Russian army. One night in September, 1916, with four other Armenian villagers, I bade good-bye to my mother and little sis- ter and we began our jourrey, It is hard to make an almost hopeless flight over rough mountains, some- times covered with the snow.

After two months of these torturings the Turkish' Government ordered all Armenians to be deported to the Syrian and Arabian deserts, and In July, 1916, 8,000 Armenians, the most prominent men in our city, doctors, lawyers, merchants, -profes- sors, ~with their wives and' families, began to move toward the desert. Our family was in this greup. In Ameriea, if someone is pretty they want to be prettier; if someone is beautiful they want to be more beautiful; but it was not so In our country during the deportations. At the time of deportations, they tried to spoil the beauty God gave. I saw mothers cut the long hair of their daughters. I saw my, mother cut the long blond hair of my sister, but they could not take out her beautiful eyes, 1 heard mothers saying, 'Daughter, I wish you were blind," But it is hard to spoil the beauty which God gives, We were travelling toward the longer, for when | reached the Rus- sian army, there ih that Christian land, I found Armenians starving in Russia, that Christian land, Armen- isang who had escaped the sword of the Turk were starving day by day. Students like me who had escaped over the mountains were starving. Armenian girls who had escaped from Turkish harems were starving there in Russia, and they could not find a blade of grass to eat. They buried Armenian children alive in Turkey. I know a place where scores of Armenian children were buried alive, and those children who had escaped being buried alive were starving there in Russia. The Rus- sians were kind to them, but they did not have food enough for them- selves, A Sad Confession. The German newspaper, Der Tag, some time after the great war had gotten under way, was forced to a sad confession: "So many of our calculations have deceived us. We expected that Brit- ish India would rise when the first It bas now become a 'veritable frozen river, flowing: between paral- lel batiks of rock, of af average width Of Nalf a mile. Its surface possesses the sambre tint of old ice, relieved by patches of snow in' the yawning fis- suwes that run athwart the glacier and divide its surface into irregularly formed sections, x Gradually the glacier becomes cov- ered with debris, consisting of rock fragmerts, dirt and rock-flour, so that the real color of the frozen river is obscured. Starting from a height of about 10,000 feet above sea-level, the glacial streams maintain their solidarity until they have descended to about 4,000 feet. They vary in length from four to six miles, and their average movement is 16 inches per day. > JOver the roughened surface of the glacier trickle countless rills formed by the melting of the snow and ice. These tiny rivalets, by uniting, form swift streams that go coursing over the glacier, to 'be later enguifed hy the deeper crevasses. With musical tinklings and roarings they rush in- goes up the river with the Incomin tide. When the tide turns, the Bok mos close the openings in the lower walls, and at the ebb, they wade ouf into these small compartments and spear the trapped salmon with their kakimaks or salmon-spears. This slaughter of salmon takes many days. They get many hundreds--somstimes thousands--of salmon in one river, bas formed cut in the ice' for the salmon, This is done by at- tracting the salmon with a little peace of walrus ivory carved to look like a fish, The decoy is kept moving by the he sinew.
