An appeal for the suffering people
Of Macedonia has been issued rs fol-
lows:
The undersigned earnestly ask the
prompt and generous assistance OF
cur fellow citizens to relieve the ter
rible distress which now prevails
throughout Mac dOuia. 1t is estl-
mated that as many as a hundred
thousand hUmel, IS people, largely
women and chiidIen, are threatened
with death, mauy having already
succumtei to exp sure and stalva-
tion. The cold OF a rigorous winter
Is already upon the country. Pract-
cal arrang meats for lief are bling
made, similar to those which seven
years ago successfully collected and
distributed more than million dol
lars without loss or delay to save the
survivors Of the Turkish massacres
In Armenia. The crushed and home
less population OF Macedonia, In the
stress Of the unsuccessful struggle for
Liberty, is surely worthy the sympa-l
thy Of the American people, who
have never failed TO respond to the
cali OF human suffering.
| Donations are to be sent to Kidder,
Peabody 81 Co., Bankers, Boston,
Mass.
