For the Relief of
the ArmenianS

Former Ambassador Henry Merg-
anthau and others estimate that is
needed at once to furnish rood, cloth
lnG, shelter and some small means
for rebuilding an industrial life, the
sun of $5,OOO,0OO. One dollar will
keep one person alive one month or
longer. twenty-five dollars will en-
able an Armenian family to be estab-
lished in comparative comfort. 1t is
to America, with her i~nestimable re-
sources for philanthropic relief that
Armenia aand Syria must turn with
pleading look.
During the past year thousands OF
Armenians have lived upon grass.
When the grass dried up these folk
were forced to kill and eat street
dogs. 1t is even reported that they
eat the flesh of fallen animals and
men. The story is too horrible to
relate, and yet will the generosity OF
America be stirred to do its utmost
until those awful facts are made
known? Anyone who writes to the
American Committee for Armenian
and Syrian Relief, 20 Fifth avenue
New York City, will receive literat-
ure giving the information. This
committee is supported in its ad.
ministrative work by its members, sc
that every penny which reaches the
treasurer will be used at once fol
the benefit of the sufferers.

"If it were possible to cast pre-
ferential ballots, 90 per cent OF the
Socialists would cast their protest
votes for Benson and their effective
votes for Wilson. thus insuring the
l%atter's election. Practically all the
Socialists want to see Wilson defeat
Hughes, but they don't want to be
deprived of the privilege OF voting
for their own candidates. Wilson l:
not a Socialist in II sense, but he
would win the preferential ballots o

In the opinion OF Miss Sheldon this
form of work is invaluable The most

a thesis, a cartoon, all "ad anything
which may be between the front cover
and the back. He reviews it for thc
benefit OF the class. The different
points are discussed, the style, the
