The Armenian Relief Situation.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Inc thrilling appeal of Miss Frances
Willard for the suffering Armenians leads
to the question:: What has Washington
done in their behalf2
A mass meeting was held here in Feb
ruary, at which Mr. Justice Harlan nre-
sided. Much enthusiasm was shown and
COMMITTEES appointed to secure funds for
Miss Barton, who was present. She had
announced to this country her readiness
to go to Constantinople, If she could be as
sured of an amount for relief which would
warrant the undertaking. And now she is
left stranded and her mission likely to be a
failure. Has the committee then appointed
made any report, and ought we not to re-
spond to Miss Barton's aid? Miss Kri-
korian, the Armenian lady who made a
thrilling appeal at the mass meeting and
several other eloquent addresses In Wash
ington, has the terrible sorrow since then
to learn of the abduction of q young sis
ter for Turks harem and that her aged
father, who has been Christian pastor
for fifty years, is now in Turkish prison
which is worse than death. The continued
horrors In Armenia suggest the Questio

that charges against the missionaries of
encouraging sedition are unfounded and
are made as a preteXt for want of a real
reason to deprive the Armenians of their
schools and the protection Of the Ameri-
cans in this awful time. But in View of
these charges, would 1t not be a legitimate
proceeding fer our government to send a
commission to Aintab and to Bitl!s TO in
vestigate these charges against Americans
who have lived there SO long and rendered
such service to the eastern world in lot

and having obtained similar privileges this
year. a ground committee was appointed
to place the ground in as good condition as
possible. AS a result OF their labors there
is much-improved pitch a piece 170
feet long by 10 feet wide having been re-
laid.
But while much improvement has been
effected, those who have played on or seen
first-class cricket fields realize that much
remains to be done. Unfortunately, there
are In Washington no headquarters for
games of a similar nature. If some united
action were taken by players of cricket,
polo lawn tennis, croquet, hand ball and
similar games it ought to be easy to pur-
chase, or lease for a term of years grounds
which would accommodate all. If this
could be done the cost to each club would
be reduced to the minimum, and the proper
care of the turf would be assured.
