TO HELP POOR ARMENIANs.
Ladies' Meet in h First Presbyterian
Church and Hear of the Hnrrars.

The Jersey City Woman's Auxiliary of
the Armenian Relief Association listened
to a talk yesterday afternoon by DIR. M.
S. Gabriel, President of the Armenian
Patriotic Alliance, in the session room
Of the First Presbyterian Church, Emory
street, on some phases Of the Armenian
trouble- DR.. Gabriel dramatically de-
nounced the attitude of the Christian
powers of Europe towards the Armenians.
He said when the Sultan had been in
duced to sign with one M the treaty
demanded by England, Russia and Ger
many, he with the other hand signed the
edict which meant the determination of
the Armcnians.
The treaty provided that in provinces
where Armenians were in the majority,
there should be Armenian Governors.
The Sultan, to prevent this, began that
slaughter of the Armenians which soon
put them in the minority.
DIR. Gabriel told several instances of
the cruelty of the Turks n the troubles
of the Armenians, and said as European
powers would do nothing. the United
States should take it in land. He said
the object of the Relief Association is
to raise money to help the Armenians
emigrate to places of safety, and he
askedgthat all present would help the
causexto the best Of their ability.
The Jersey City Auxiliary will not hold
meetings for some time, but they intend
raising money individually. The Treas
urer, Mrs. Philip X. Green, No. 201 Acad-
envy street, will receive all subscriptions.
