New York, Aug. 2s-More than 10000
children under IL years of age, all de-
pendent on outside relief for necessities,
are in Lebanon, and an additional 25,000
orphans are in Syria, not including Pal
estine, according to reports of mission
aries from the near East who recently
arrived here. 1t was asserted by the
missionaries that it was extremely
doubtful if many of these children could
survive the coming winter if relief does
not reach them in a more substantial
form thar 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, subsisting on grass. The
majority of these were girls, who had
survived because of greater powers of
resistance or having been fed by their
brothers, who starved
The Turkish authorities are doing all
in their power for the children, the mis-
sionaries said, and hospiees have been
opened in several places in charge of
Turkish women. The number of needy
children reached, however, is small com
