BY DIR. FRED p. HAGGARD,
Secretary, American Commission for
Armenian and Syrian Relief.
(Copyriaht. 1917. by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association
There is a terrible aftermath to the
German-inspired Turkish brutality,
that. after having disposed Of from one
10 two million Armenians by massacre
and starvation, drove the remaining un-
fortunates out of their home land.
Tens of thousands Of human beings
who managed 10 escape the Iurkish
massacres found their way, after en-
during the most terrible hardships,
through the mountain passes into the
Russian Caucasus
Many perlshed by the wayslde. but
the miserable exiles who reached Rus
sian territory are now In daily danger
OF starving TO death.
Thus. though the brutality that in
spired the horrors against the Chris
tian inhabitants Of Turkey is confined
10 Turkish lands, the destituiion and
suffering resulting from IL has spread
10 the surrounding countries.
Lucky as are the refugees who man
AGED 10 escape over the Russian bor-
der. or south into Egypt, or perhaps
across TO Greece, in comparison TO the
people left behind. still their plight has
been desperate indeed
The bulk OF those refugees who man
aged to escape the horrors Of depor-
tation. the desert, the wild kurds, or
the Turkish harem, found their way
fo Friyan and other cities in the C0u-
casus.
Here the Russian government was
ready and willing TO do all in its power
10 relieve their immediate needs but
there was lack Of funds or time to con-
slider the problem Of rehabilitation.
Relief societies. however, sprans mp
almost over night, notably the Ameri-
can Society for Armenian and syrian
Relief which has had men and stations
there almost since the beginning OF ihe
war.
In this region alone. there are be-
tween fifteen and twenty thousand or
phans, gathered In orphanases OF
'farmed OUT TO families who VIII care
for them in return for slight govern
ment grant, or a regular sum PROMISED
by a relief society.

with no change Of clothing, almost no
food.
Typhus and dysentery broke out, and
for week in many centers hundreds
, died daily.
Very slowly, little rooms or rougi
shelters were found, and many ram
llies were quite extlnguished before ale
could be given them.
Relief workers have done wonders
but lack Of funds hampers the work
