DEATH STALKS
AMONG REFUGEES
Armenians and Syrians in Desperate
Straits and Only Prompt Aid Will
Prevent Starvation.

Editor of The Reformer:-
For twenty-five centuries the Ar
menlans and Syrians have held
an honorable place in the national and
religious history of the near East
They have been called upon repeated
~ to endure fierce religious persecu
lions, but from these they have risen
with honor and undaunted courage
Evidence recently received from
many widely separate sources, and al
beyond question, shows that these peo-
pie, after enduring forms of cruelty
which if named in detail would not be
accredited as possible to be inflicted
by men upon human beings and especi-
ally upon helpless and innocent WON
en- and children, are now in desperate
straits, but accessible to external aid.
Refined men and women, educated in
American colleges in Turkey and else
where, are endeavoring to prolong
life by eating scattering weeds and
stray spears of grass they may chance
, to find. Cases are reported where both
adults and children have received food
and refused to eat it because it came
too late.
The Turkish government has assured
the American embassy at Constantine
pie that it will permit the American
Red Cross to land and distribute to
| these wretched and starving people i'm
ported food. The American committee
/ for Armenians and Syrians Relief is CO.
operating with the Red Cross in secur-
/ ing from the navy department col
/ lier to fill with food in New York
and send to Syria as soon rs possible.
Immediate action is Imperative.
Death stalks among those refugees
and only prompt response will save
tens of thousands of the;a from It's
terrible clutches. New England has re
sponded literally to the cry for aid
but we cannot withhold further sym
pathy and our gifts at time like
this. More than 100000 has already
gone ftom New England for relief foI
the Armenians and Syrians alone. This
sum should be duplicated within tho
next two weeks if we expect to save
the remnant Of these races. Henry D
Forbes, vice president of the National
Shawmut bank, Boston, is the treasur
cr of the New England fund. All suns
handed him will be sent through thu
national committee.
The press has been most generous il
its cooperation and, upon behalf OF
the American committee, ! voice then
sincere appreciation.
