famine,' so rich was their produc- tivity. But particularly were con- ditions due to speculation in food sup plies by Turkish officials and their friends, he said.
 Some men in high positions hold ing the food of the country in their hands, have gambled with death and won,'' MT. Hall said. ''The people have died while they stored away one knows not what fortunes Tn gold.
 The Ottoman government, he said. has done something in relief measures in opening hospices for children and distributing food, but such help has reached only few thousands while the work of the American Red Cross at Beirut was stopped by the breaking off of diplomatic relations between this country and Turkey.
 But relief money can yet be sent to buy and distribute food, as there are still enough American mission aries remaining in the country to attend to it." he added. 'The whole people cannot be saved but good number can be- and even a remnant is worth saving. Theirs is a land which historically has a claim upon the charity of the world, but its chief claim now is not historical it is human We are in war to hb- crate humanity. It is on this ground that Syria appeals to,the world.
 The funds collected in this coun- try by the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief are being disbursed through these American missionaries and teachers of the American college in Beirut. Even though hundreds die for lack of food, because money cannot buy enough there to go round, great good can be done, if funds are forthcoming from this country generously enough.
 At least one fourth of the popula- ton of the Lebanon Mountains has already perished from hunger and diseases directly caused thereby. The story which must be written when this present winter Is over will be even more terrible to read, unless inn mediate help is provided"
 MT. Hall graduated from Union col lege in 1896 and Mccormick Theolo- gical Seminary in 1902, in which year he was ordanined a Presbyterian minister. His home is in Kalamazoo, Mich.
