An Appeal From the American Consul at
Erzerum.

Mrs. Israel Luce has received the fol-
lowing letter from the United States
consul at Erzerum, Mr.. Leo Bergholz.
Mr.. Berholz stands high in the conf
dsnoe ofssour government Mrs. Luce has
known him from boyhood. She will
forward all money entrusted to her for
the relief of the suffering ana destitute
described in this letter. Her address is
295 Cum berIand street, Portland, Me-.
Erzerum, November !, 1896.
My dear Mrs. Luce:
I want to make an appeal 90 you and
through you to others, on behalf OF the
thousands of children made oprhans by
the maSsacres of last year. conservR-
tive estimate places the number at 3d.
600. Think Of it, $4,000 children. and
in most cases without q male relative In
the world; their fathers, mothers and all
belonging to them slain, and their only
hope of living. the charity of strangers
Thousands SO young and helpless that
of necessity they must die, but thousands
that can and should be saved. Thousands
of boys and girls thrown upon the street
and hundreds of girls outraged and then
cast adrift. 10 passing through villages
burned and almost destroyed you meet
defiled; we are denled; our fathers and
mother have been killed and we are vag-
rants What shall we do? Whittier shall
We go? To whom shall we turn for pro-
tections Help US or we diel"
Our missionaries in ErZerum, Van,
Bitlis and Harpoort can give hundreds
of these girls places where they will be
carefully brought up and taught an occu-
patton that will make them good and
useful women, thus saving them from
the brutality Of man. Thirty-fve dollars
will keep girl a year at a boarding
school, and SIS at day school for year.
No charge is made for tuition. Thous-
ands can be assisted in other ways. Jam
a poor hand at begging, but you can see
the awful pitiful condition of these chill
dren, and know you will do what you
can to save them. Drafts, certified checks
or money sent by registered letter can be
used here. A receipt will be sent to
each donor and an account rendered of
how every dollar is used. Do help the
orphans.
Most sincerely yours,
Leo Bergholz,
Erzerum, Turkey -in-Asia.
