THE BRUTAL TURK
AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
REFUGEES FROM RAIDS.
TELL HARROWING TALES,
BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT. Received Oct. 22, 9.45 a.m. BAGDAD, Oct. 21. Zakhu is swarming with male Christian refugees from recent Turkish raids. The Turks retained all the women. . . . ~ , Most harrowing stories are told ot how bullets and bayonets summarily ended aged stragglers. Piteous appeals were mad© for babies, who were minted over precipices. Old women were massacred and beautiful girls were violated by officers and then callously thrown to suldiers. Over one hundred women were sold to* Kurdish, harems. The Iraq Government is providing the refugees with necessities, but with the greatest of difficulty and expense, owing to the failure of the crops.— Sydney Sun Cable.
