GOVERNOR URGES
 PEOPLE TO GIVE
Calls Attention to the Tragedy jr Armenia, Syria and Palestine.

Governor Marcus H: -Holcomb in a statement issued Saturday, urged the people Of Connecticut not to overlook the tragedy in Armenia, Syria and in Palestine in their war relief giving, and suggesting that Saturday and Sunday, November A and 25, be ob- seryet in this state as Armenian and Syrian Relief Days"
 Governor Holcomb's statement fol- lows:
 cry of Belgium should not cause us to overlook the awful tragedy in Arme- mia and Syria and Palestine.
 'F'or three years the Armenians and Syrians have passed through untold sufferings in massacre, deportation, and starvation. The only agency that has been able to help the suffering sur ican relief money distributed by Amer jeans still remaining on the field has been the means of keeping thousands of these unfortunate people alive.
 Recent reports of American dipIo- matic and consular agents and other Americans lately returned from West ern Asia indicate that two and one half million survivors, mostly women and children, of whom 100000 are or phans, are on the verge of death by starvation. Exiled from home rob- bed of their possessions, wandering in 3. desoiate land, their only hope for the barest necessity of life is in Amer jean charity. Immediate help in the form of money with which to secure food supplies is urgently needed to keep these worthy people alive through the hard winter months.
 In view of the fact that government aid is impossible and that American generosity is the only means of saw ing thees thousands of starving Trme- nians and Syrians, appeal to the sympathy of the people of Connecticut to contribute generously to this Wor- thy cause through the American Com mittee for Armenian and Syrian Re- lief. Since the need is urgent, I sug- gest that Saturday and Sunday, No- vember 24th and 25th be observed throughout the state of Connecticut as Armenian and Syrian Relief days.
 "On Sunday November 18th. it is expected that many ministers in Con- necticut will call the attention of their congrega tfons, to the great needs of this relief work: It is announced that con ntributfons may be sent direct to the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian relief.

Quaint little Rebecca and her many experiences at the old New Eng land homestead in Maine completely captured the hearts of her admirers, just as the story itself has captured the hearts of thousands of readers.
