Text Appearing Before Image: y-five every other day, also distributingmedicines. Besides my work of feeding with the milk,I am trying to get a room in some sort of con-dition for the sickest ones to use. We can notcall it a hospital, but I hire a Turkish womanto look after the sick, so far as she is able, andas soon as possible I will have ten wooden bed-steads put up for the neediest ones. Themattresses for these beds are to be made of thebeds brought with the sick Turkish soldiers, re-covered with clean gingham. Our hospital continues to be full of Ar-menians, Turks, and Russians. The latter haveno field hospitals, and so send to us all thewounded we can take.

Die jungtürkische Regierung bezeichnete die Selbstverteidigung der Armenier in Van als Aufstand und nahm sie als letzten Anlass für die bereits heimlich geplanteDeportation. - Das Foto zeigt armenische Flüchtlinge aus der Provinz vor der amerikanischen Mission zu Van, wo sie auf die Brotverteilung warten."[1] |
