New York reports the Persian war disaster as refugees flood from Urumla and surrounding areas into Russia or mission compounds. Turko-Kurdish advances drive families toward safety, with many dying on the treacherous trek.
The report details a winter trek of Armenians and others from Urmia to Tab ris, with refugees dying from cold and hunger. American consular aid and Red Cross funds are mobilizing through Tab ris and a relief committee led by Robert E. Speer to shelter and feed tens of thousands, with initial contributions already dispatched and more promised.
