Armenian War Sufferers.

A union meeting of the Hol-
yoke churches was held at the
auditorium Sunday evening
and an address was made by
Asa Kelsey of this county who
spent several years in Palestine
and was there when the Euro
pean war broke out. The Turk
ish army has possession of most
of Palestine and the cruelty of
the Turks is causing great suf-
fering among the people. The
Turks have been siezing for
their own use the supplies and
property they need or think
they need even when it leaves
the owner without any of the
necessaries of life and with NO
possible means for securing
them. Many of the natives of
Palestine are suffering and ef-
forts are being made all over
our country to raise help for
them. There was a large at
tendance at the meeting and .
good aid subscription was made
