Paris, Jan. 3 – (Haas.) – In giving details of the Armenian massacres in Turkey in the last five years, the Constantinople correspondent of the Petit Parisieu says that at one time 100,000 Armenians were concentrated at Dorgor, Arabia. The Turkish authorities in Constantinople thought the number was too high and gave others that 80,000 of the Armenians be put out of the way.
In the Mush valley, the correspondent adds, the Kurds robbed 2,000 Armenian women. Later, suspecting that the women had swallowed their jewels, the Kurds killed them in a horrible manner and burned their bodies. The next day, the correspondent continues, these monsters quietly sifted the ashes, “seeking the jewels.”
The correspondent reports that in the same region 7,000 children between three and ten years of age died of starvation, and 100 women were buried alive in trenches which the Turks first forced them to dig.
