The trustees will hold the funds invi-
olate, to be used for two definite objects
only:
First-To secure the protection of the
Armenian people in Turkey from further
outrage.
Second-To promote the establish
ing of a righteous government in Arme-
MIA.
Europe has no regard for Armenia be-
cause she has no argument except the
sanctity of the home and the brave hearts
of her men and women. America rec
'gnizes no mightier armament than that.

cepting the bonds of Armenia we will is
sue for the fund. I pledge to you the
honor of nation of 1000 years honest,
toilsome life, that Armenia will redeem
her bonds and keep them in eternal men,
ory of glorious day when mighty ma
| ton stretched forth a gentle hand ana
lifted up in her arms trampled, bleed
| ing sister to shelter her from threatened
death.

envelope, candy box or just your open
hand. Ask every person around you for
