STARVE
$4,000 Under IL May Not Sur
vive Coming Winter.
Exist by Begging and Eating
Grass in Turk PROVINCES.

New York, Aug. 27.-More than So
600 children under IL years of age
all dependent on outside relief for
necessities of life are in Lebanon and
an additional IS, 600 orphans are in
Syria, not including Palestine, accord
ing to reports of missionaries from
the near east, who recently arrived
here. 1t was asserted by the mis-
sionaries that it was extremely doubt
full whether many of these children
could survive the coming winter, if
relief does not reach them in a more
substantial form than heretofore.
In many instances. the missionaries
said little children scarcely old
enough to feed themselves were found
by relief workers living absolutely
alone begging for enough food to keep
them alive and failing in that sub
sisting on grass. The majority of
these were girls who had survived, due
to greater powers of resistance or to
having been fed by their brothers
who starved. The Turkish authorities
are doing all in their power for the
children, and hospitals have been
opened in several places in charge of
Turkish women. The number of
needy children reached, however, is
small compared with the number in
actual want.
