(Havas)-In giv ing details of the Armenian mas sacres in Turkey'in the last five years, the Constantinople correspon dent of the Petit Parisien says that at one time 100 000 "Armenians were concentrated for alleged strategical reasons at Dorgor, Arabia.

"In the Mush valley," the corre spondent adds, "the Kurds robbed 2,000 Armenian women. Later sus pecting that the women had swal lowed their jewels, the Kurds killed them in a horrible manner and burn ed the bodies. The next day, the correspondent continues, these mon sters quietly sifted the ashes, seek ing the jewels."

Louse Responsible v for at Least Deaths During War London, Jan. 3. Of the insects responsible for the death or disable ment of hundreds of thousands in the war zone, the louse is declared authoritatively to have been one of the most deadly and to have ac counted for at least a million per sons. This, however, is only a rough estimate, and the probability is that the total was infinitely higher, for in Serbia alone typhus, a Jouse- borne disease, infected nearly one million persons and killed 500 a day in the little city of Jassy, while 200 of the 1,200 medical officers in the country died of the disease. Tbi disease spread over Russia, Austria, Germany and the Balkans generally. These figures arev vouched for in a publication prepared by Lieu tenant Lloyd, chief entomologist in Notthern Rhodesia.
