Special Dispatch from
MILTON BRONNER.
OF Our Washinnfnn Bureau

Washington, Oct. 15.-One of the
most terrible results of the alliance
between 1.-The most Christian emper-
or" of Germany and the Moslem sui
tan of Turkey, is the determination
of the native Christian population OF
all the Bible lands under the heel OF
the Turk. Thousands upon thousands
have been massacred, other thou
sands have persisted in the desert to
which they were driven, and still 9TH
err thousands have died or are dying
of starvation. Unless American aid
comes all the Armenian and Syrian
Christians will have disappeared from
the earth by the time the war ends.
These are the cold facts given at a
recent New York conference OF re-
turned American consul from Turk
ish territory, teachers from American
colleges in Turkey and physicians
and missionaries. Many who attend
ed have returned in the past few
weeks.
The suffering of children through
out the Bible lands has been especial
ly severe. Tots so small they should
have had the guardianship of their
elders have drifted over the face of
the land and attempted to care for
others still smaller.
In some places the usual grape
crop failed because the little hungry
children ate the shoots and young
leaves.
The mulberry orchards are planted

Chemists Urge
Women to Drop
Platinum Fad
Scarcity of Metal Much
Used for Jewelry Threat
ems Output of Explosives

American women were asked yester-
day by the American Chemical Society
TO stop purchasing platinum jeweiry
because the country's output Of high
explosives is seriously menaced by the
shortage Of this metal.
"On behalf Of the chemical manuf
facturers Of the country, who are striv-
ing to provide our government with its
many necessities, and in behalf of those
conducting scientific research for the
public good" said the society's state-
ment, "the American Chemical Society
appeals to the loyal women Of the
United States TO refrain from purchss-
ing platinum. in the form Of iewelry
and to help discourage the use of this
metal for ornamental or other unnec-
essary purposes, so that the limited
supply may be made available for use
where it can do the greatest good in
the service Of our beloved country.
Few realize that the dictators Of
fashion have caused the price Of plati-
mum to advance within the last few
years until to-day il is worth five times
as much as gold. As result Of this
mood of Dame Fashion the chemical
industries of the country are finding
it exceedingly difficult to secure the
supplies they need, while our govern
ment, as well as all chemical labora-
tories and institutions throughout the
land is greatly handicapped by its
scarcity. Platinum is essential for pro-
ducing sulphuric acid, which in rs
turn is an absolute necessity in the
production of high explosives.
"The matter has become so serious
that scientific and industrial advance
ment is suffering severely because OF
the lack Of platinum and the almost
prohibitive price to which its scarcity
has given rise. II seems a shame. es-
pecially at this time. that personal
vanity should prove such handicap to
the government, and that mere frivo..
lous fad should deprive chemists and
manufacturers Of the proper tools for
the prosecution of the demands placed
upon them.

SchiH Calls Young
Jews to Aid in War
Says Hebrew Men and Women
Must Help Nation Save
Democracy

Jacob II. Schif, in an address de-
livered yesterday afternoon before tie
League Of the Jewish Youth Of Amer
lea at the Century Theatre, called on
the 100000 young Jewish men and
women Of the country to show their
devotion to the United States in some
form which would advance Uncle
Sans cause. Mr.. SchiF emphasized
the fact that good Jews were first Of
all good Americans.
Young or old. in town or country,
we Jews must do our duty to the
United States" said Mr.. Schiff. Every
one of our allies is a people fighting
for liberty and democracy. This coun-
try has become the great champion Of
the nations, and we Jews, constituents
of this great nation, must act shoulder
to shoulder with the others who are
willing TO sacrifice for the sake of a
noble cause
Mr.. Schif pointed out that immigra-
tiOn from Russia after the war would
probably cease altogether, or else d.
minish materially, and that It was nee
essary for American Jewry to have an
organization Of young men and women
who would serve as a reservoir for the
spread of Jewish culture and ideals.

Ex-Ambassador Henry Morgenthau

piled to DR.. Wise by saying that in
stead OF paying the price, DR.. Wise
was "reaping the reward for excel
lent service.
"Isracl's temples should not be pri-
vate religious clubs said Dr. Wise
"There are men who pay for religion
as long as it stiles revolt. That is the
reason why some of the richest mem
bers have withdrawn from this insti-
tuition.
"The Free Synagogue was formed
"a a protest against the Jews on Fifth
Avenue. between Forty-Second and
Fifty-ninth streets. We have grown
from an annual budget of $1,000 and
n membership Of fifty TO an annual
budget Of 100000 and a membership
Of 1000"
DR.. Wise announced that plans for
a 100000 synagogue had TO be de-
ferred because of the war. TO enable
the rendering OF greater assistance to
the millions Of Jews suffering in the
war zone.
After complimenting DR.. Wise fo'
his work during the last ten years Mr.
