uency are alive we do not know But
Turkish territories are vast, and not
only in the centers, to which the de-
ported Armenians have been directed,
but at points along the way, in holes
and corners. on mountain tops and in
friendly villages, there are scattered
refugees that aggregate multitude in
number. Near Aleppo, Damascus and
DER el-zor is another multitude whose
distress Is most acute, since they must
by now have wholly reached the end
of their own neagre resources. a third
group is the large number that are fol
lowing the Russian army as it advane-
cs into eastern Asia Minor and are
being established Oh the land in what
ought soon to be 4 disappearing con-
,lition. The only hope for the future
lies in extending immediate and AIDE
quate relief to these several groups so
that they will not perish from starva-
ton. Otherwise this splendid Armen-
ian people must pass out of existence.
"American cOnsuls and missionaries
are at or within reach of the points
where these pitiable refugees are now
detained. They have the knowledge
and experience that enables them to
act wisely in behalf of the suffering.
Every dollar of aid is usefully en-
ploved, AMI if circumstances only fav.

can accomplish so much, and the great
need in the aggregate would stand out
