REFUGEES Itf IRAQ. MOST HARROWING STORIES. V NO REGARD FOR AGE OR SEX. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (“Sun.”) 4 (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) BAGHDAD, October 21. Zakhu is swarming with male Christian refugees from the recent Turkish raids. The Turks retained all the woi men. Most harrowing stories are told of how bullets and bayonets summarily ended aged stragglers. Piteous appeals ■were made for babies, who were hurled over precipices. Old women were massacred. Beautiful girls were violated by officers, then callously thrown to the soldiers. Over 100 women were sold to Kurdish harems. The Iraq Government is providing the refugees with necessities, with the greatest difficulty and expense owing to the failure of the crops.
