TURKEY.
THE UNFORTUNATE ARMENIANS. STORY OF THEIR ILL-TREATMENT. United Service. London, August 20. The Rev. Mr. Buxton, secretary of the Armenian Fund, has arrived from the devastated regions. He states that originally there were two million Turkish Armenians. Half a million were massacred, a million deported, and two hundred thousand escaped to the mountains or to Russian soil. Hundreds of thousands were interned in Mesopotamia and are inaccessible to British relief and suffering untold miseries, privations, outrage and murder. Numbers have been forced to labor on the Bagdad railway.
