Refugees

Obviously these are asian, probably japanese refugees on a ship at the beginning of the 20th century.

The text on the reverse of this photograph raises some questions.

I am not so good in reading french, but I think it reads:

 

"Toute de Terre

ERZURUM

Sauvetage t/ de la Paix

??? ???? ?????

echoué (?) aux Indochinois"

 

Since Erzurum is a city in eastern Turkey, can it be the name of a ship? I cannot find any evidence.

Can someone read the the fourth line?

I think "echoué" doesn't make sense. Could it be another word?
