forced Turks. The Ottoman troops
succeeded in taking Mush and Bitlis
in the very heart of Armenia. Then
they moved along the northern and
western shores of Lake Van with the
object of encircling the town of Van,
which was the base of the Russian
operations in that district. They did
not get to Van. but clung to the shores
Of the lake. That is the present mill
tary situation in that territory.
The object of the Russian in
curSlon into Armenia was not only to
rescue the Armenians. but to establish
line from Trebizond on the Black
sea across the neck Of Asia Minor to
Aleppo and thus deprive Turkey of
the resources of MesopOtamia. Those
who have followed the course of the
war know what happened. They know
that the Russians were only partially
successful. that they captured Trebi-

able to extend their line farther south
and prevent the subsequent loss of

Praise for Americans
In Big Relief Work

London, Dec. 1S.--George F. Gracey,
member of the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief, who
has helped to feed and clothe about
80, 900 Armenians in their native land
and again when they fled to the
Caucasus to escape the wrath of the
Turks, has just returned to London.
Most of this was possible only
through the generosity of the Ameri-
can people" declared Mr.. Gracey. who
is an American but an Englishman
and has been a member of the Ameri-
can committee for the last twelve
years. Since the war broke out he
has been directing the relief work for
the Armenians from Tiflis.
Armenia has replaced Belgium and
Serbia as the most diStressful country
on the face of the GLOBE" said Mr..
GraCey. The Armenians have twice
been driven from their native land.
Those who were not maSsacred when
the Turks invaded their country early
in the war fled to the Caucasus. Thev

Turks out of Armenia. They were
forced to flee to the Caucasus again a
few months ago when the Turks
chased the Russians out of Mush and
Bitlis. and for a time threatened the
cZar's army at Van. on the east side
the lake of that name.
when the Armenians were able to
return to their country early this year
they were without food. clothing or
the means of making a living The
American committee came to the
rescue by supplying some 10000 with
