the document, and was finally released.
Four other Armenian teachers in the
college suffered the same fate.
These false confessions, the speake"
explained, were being sought to justif~
the treatment of the Armenians by the
Turks as war necessity. when the
United States was making inquiries
about them
Tales of Armenian deportations were
also told by DR.. McNaughton. Whole
settlements have been driven from
their homes, across the deserts and
scattered among Turk villages. while
along the way the weaker sink down
bodies in % miles have been counted
along the road of a deported band, he
stated.
A most touching part of the address
was that telling of how a band OF
starving Armenians who had beer:
driven down near the River Jordan
sent a delegation to appeal fCr aid to
the relief committee in Jerusalem. The
committee found it could not give
either money or food. such was its posi-
ton, without entailing a loss that
would mean death to refugees then be-
ing taken care of. The band of Ar

death by its refusal of aid, which was
the only possible thing to do. With
the refusal the committee sent an an
swer saying: BE We faithful unto
death and l shall give you eternal life
After he had finished telling of the
Armenian's suffering and ur0ent need
| for help, DR.. McNaughton closed with
the forceful world:
What shall we do about it? The
answer is in your hands"
After the meeting DR.. Naughton
with J. o. Sexson and other members
of the temporary committee selected to
consider the campaign here when DR.
McNaughton was in the city about two
months ago, visited several leading
citizens of Phoenix to prepare for the
drive for the fund in this state, and
to discuss the selection of a state

PERSECUTION Of
CHRISTIANS IN
TURKEY RELATED
DIR. McNaughton Appeals to
Public to Cancel Debt
Race Owes to Civilized
Peoples of Asia Minor

The first steps toward a campaign
in Arizona for the fund for the relief
of Armenians and Syrians, were taken
yesterday afternoon at a meeting at the
Central Christian church, where DR..
James p. McNaughtOn, executive sec
rotary for the Armenion and Syrian
relief committee in this district, out
lined some of the plans and reasons
for the campaign. The Arizona drive
will be a part of the national cam
paign for the fund January u to II,
when the national committee will at
tempt to obtain thirty million dollars
for the cause.
Prefacing his talk with the state
ment that President Wilson had made
a proclamation in regard to the cam
paign, and had heartily endorsed it,
as had the governments of Great
Britain and France, DR.. McNaughton
declared that no war cause was more
important than that of furnishing re,
lief to the starving thousands of Chris
tan Armenians and Syrians, who are
now threatened with extinction un-
less the civilized world, and especially
America, comes to their aid
DR.. McNaughton began his informal
address by telling of the work the ma
tional committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief ha1kone The committee
has in reality been doing Red Cross
work among the Christian anw Jewish
people of Asia Minor, he said, and has
been co-operated with the Red Cross.
The work however, has been too big
to beaded to that tot the larger or
ganization, and as a result the two
organizations are working separately
+ but with hearty approval of each other
The United States has already given
thirteen million dollars for relief in
Rrmenia and Syria. and its demand for
thirty million will carry over for the
year
Among members of the national
relief committee, it is worth noting,
are such men as former president w
H. Taft, Charles e. Hughes, Nathan
Strauss, Cardinal Gibbons, Rabbi
Wise, J. r. Mott, Charles Crane former
Ambassador Morgenthau and former
Ambassador Elkus, the two latter who
played large parts in the work during
their appointments to Turkey.
We owe more to the peoples now
being crushed Beneath the Turkish
heel than to all other peoples of the
earth combined said DR.. McNaighton.
All that is of value in our civilization
comes from them; had its beginning
with them. We owe the Bible to the
Christian peoples of Asia Minor, and no
movement starts TO lift up civilization
that is not based on the Bible Our
philosophy and our ethics, our art. had
their beginnings in the near East
Il tell you, if we eliminate from our
nation those sources of which speak.
