was one little baby still alive. The
shade had shifted and the burning
August sun had fallen on them and
killed them. A long trench was dug
beside the field where these people
were encamped. The people them

In January, 1916, DR.. Riggs said,
there were 4S5,000 deported Armen-
ians in Mesopotamia, while In May
1917 the most careful investigation
showed only 10000 survivors, more
than three quarters having perished
from famine, pestilence and massacre
in fifteen months.
THE only bright feature of this ter
rible picture is the help that has ac-
tually reached fraction of these
people through relief funds from
Americas ever ready generosity" Dr.
Riggs said. "ln Harput we were able
to give daily rations of bread to near
ly 5000 widows and orphans. If more
money had come there were 10000
within reach equally in need. Upon
the rupture of diplomatic relations,
the Turkish. government confiscated
our food supplies and many Of these
people perished of hunger"
100000 Orphan Children.
Since then, however, DR.. Riggs con-
tinued, arrangements have been made
to continue the relief work through
neutral agents who are disbursing the
funds and supplies gathered through
the American committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian relief in New York
city. The question of saving the rem
nant of the Armenian race, he said,
can be solved only by American gen.
erosity.
"The Armenian men are dead" he
said, "and the women have been
crushed and cannot long survive the
terrible experiences through which
they have passed. But there are 400,-
600 orphan children, most of whom
are begging their bread today. The
hope of the future is in gathering to-
gether these remnants and saving
them for the seed of the future Ar
menian race. These children look 10
us today. If they can be fed and
housed and educated for the next ten
years they can constitute the leading
progressive element in the life Of a
new Turkey as their fathers did m

them very highly for their splendid
appearance and the manner in which
they conducted themselves. In his

WASHINGTON, April 3.--Rapidly
paving the way for formal declara-
tion of a state of war, as recommend
ed by President Wilson in his address
delivered to joint session of congress
last night, the committee on foreign
relations of the senate at half hours
session this morning decided to recon-
mend for adoption the Martini Flood
resolution. Some slight changes were
made in the phraseology of the resolu'
ton but there were no important
changes in the text. This resolution
declares that state Of war now exists
with Germany and empowers the pres.
ident to use all of the forces and re
sources Of the country to prosecute
the war to successful conclusion.
The reception of the presidents ap-
peal for a state of war was received
with unbounded enthusiasm. There
will be very little opposition in either
house to the declaration asked for by
the chief executive. Unstinted ap-
proval is given the presidents course.
Both houses are expected to act
promptly on the war resolution and
also to enact without delay every rec
ommendation for the prosecution of
the war made by the president.
