since the beginning o: the great war in
contributing money for the relief of the
distressed races of Europe. They have
responded to frequent calls upon their
generosity, and 1 believe they will con-

Gus attention to these demands in the fu-
ture. 1t is of the utmost Importance that
this should be so. The fact that one has
given to the Red Cross, the Y NJ. c. A,
the Belgian Relief Fund, the Provident AS
ISOLATION, is valid reason for neglecting
to send something, however small the
amount, for the relief of Armenia and
Syria.

people of America had heard no such
pathetic cry in all the history with which
they were familiar. They should not for
