The following cablegram has just
been received from Teheran, Persia:
Forty thousand destitute Teheran
alone. People eating dead animals.
Women abandoning their infants. Es-
selstyn feeding twelve hundred daily
at Meshed. Missionaries workers at
Hamadan and Kermanshah busy with
relief work. Only limitation lack of
money. Need hundred thousand dol
lars. Douglas has typhoid"
(Signed) JORDAN.
There are still more refugees about
the relief stations than there is food
or shelter. The Relief Workers are
reaching as many as is humanity pos
sible through direct and indir. t
means. Direct money lief is needed
in large quantities for the continuance
of life in some 100000 orphans, for
the sick and for the AGED. Indirect
relief is needed for all who can work.
The work provided is constructive and
means the cost of raw materials, tools,
ground, seed, stock and the where
with-all to pay the refugee workers.

port from Constantinopie, the follow
ing brief quotations were made:
"Work for children steadily increas-
ing in volume. Deported people are
coming back in large numbers in the
cities where more easily reached. OPP
portunity for relief work limited only
to amount of funds at command.
Friends in Turkey, despite suffering,
being preserved in health and all able
TO continue work. Although prices
high, possible to obtain supplies. At
titude of authorities conciliatory and
little serious obstruction Is placed in
the way of relief work"
All that is going on behind the field
we do not know, but there is every as
surance that the accumulated effect OF
American generosity and the unselfish
administration of the necessities OF
life is having profound effect on the
internal conditions of Turkey.

American workers needed. We ap-
prove employing refugees in road
making and other public works. Ed

Superintendent of this work with au-
thority to investigate industrial con-
ditions."
"At public bakeries great crowds
gather waiting their chance to buy"
"Send experienced agriculturist i'm

Although Southern Palestine has
just been opened up, cablegrams in
dictate the permanent nature of the
work being started.

gospel of Christ to Arabia, India and

this church for preserving the divine
message and transmitting it to the

The Jews.
The historical status of the Jews
and their contributions to the civilza-

of the inhabitants of Palestine and
Syria are Jewish.
THE RELATION OF THE RED
CROSS
Before the Red Cross took an active
part in war relief work the Armenian
and Syrian Committee was sending
food and clothing to the sufferers of
Western Asia. In recognition of the
work of the committee, and in the
spirit of sympathetic cooperation, the
Red Cross last May mace grant
from its funds to the work of the COM
mittee. However, they recognize that
important as this appropriation IS,
it is wholly inadequate to meet the
full need, and that to provide for the
entire number OF people dependent
upon you for aid would practically ex-
haust the entire fund OF the American
Red Cross which, of course, is con-
tributed largely for the relief and
comfort of our own soldiers and
sailors and those OF our allies. We
understand that your Committee will
continue to press its appeal for sup
Elementary funds with which to meet
more nearly the task that is before
you.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1918-05-17


All relief is sent in the form of
money credits. Owing to the diff
culties Of transportation it is impos-
sible to ship food or clothing.
Supplies are purchased on the open
market by relief distributors.
Food, though scarce, can be secured
when money is available
Audited reports are filed with the
representatives of the American gov
eminent in Constantinople, the Swed-
ish ambassador now acting in that
capacity.
Relief is distributed according to
need, not creed.
Neutral consuls and Swiss distribu-
tors are supplementing the American
workers.
1t requires seven days to travel from
Beirut to Constantinople.
The journey from Aleppo to Tre-
bizond overland takes two weeks.
Mount Ararat is as high as Pixies
Peak.
The Russian Caucasus is about the
same latitude as New York City. VIM
ter there means suffering.
One hundred cents of every dollar
goes for relief. Administrative ex-
penses of the American Committee
are met privately,

THE PEOPLES OF WESTERN
ASIA
The Armenians,


Armenia was the first nation to en-
brace Christianity as a national e
ligion. Apostles Thaddeus and Bar
tholomew preached the gospel there.
The Armenian Church has had 1877
Pontiffs in unbroken succession,
whose seat, since 800, with occasional
transfers elsewhere has been at Etch-
miadzin, the Great Monastery in Rus
sian Armenia.
OF the estimated 100000 AT
menians lin 1919, 100000 lived in
Turkey, about 100000 in Russian
Armenia, and the remainder were
scattered over the world.
In Turkey, despite the oppressive
and obstructive rule, the Armenians
have been one OF the principal con-
structive forces.
The Syrian :.
Syria occupies a strategic position
in the map of the old world, being a
connecting link, bridge, as it were,
between Europe, Asia and Africa.
Syria is the birthplace of two Mono
theistic religions-Judaism and Chris
tianity, and is closely related to the
birth and development of third,
| Mohammedanism
The country has five provinces;
Aleppo, one Of whose cities is
Antioch; Damascus, whose capital by
the same name is reputed to be the
Oldest city in the world; the Lebanon
famous for its cedar trees; Beirut
whose capital by the same name is the
seaport of Syria; and Jerusalem.
| The Greeks.
The Greeks in Turkey are confined
mostly to the shores of Asia Minor
and the adjacent islands. They ar,
direct descendants Of the Greeks who
held sway in Constantinople until it!
capture by the Mohammedans in 1883
They number in Turkey about fivt
millions, speak Greek and profess
Orthodox Christianity. The Greel
element is one Of the most progressiv,
elements in Turkey and controls tn,
finances of the empire.
, The Assyrians.
- The Assyrian Christians inhabit
portion Of the territory known t,
ancient history as Assyria, including
part of Mesopotamia Kurdistan an
northwestern Persia. They are ais

provided for until the next harvest is
garnered.
The British authoriti are giving
the fullest possible cooperation in ad-
ministering this relief.
Lower Mesopotamia has been
opened up by the advance of the Brit
ish lines. Refugees find their way
through these lines and receive tempo
rary aid, becoming self-supporting.
Persia is divided into what is COM
monty called Central and Western
(Urumia) in which the latter section
suffering has been particularly in
tense and special relief work has been
organized.
In Tabriz and vicinity, the Ameri-
can Consul, Mr.. Caldwell, together
with teachers and missionaries, are
trying to stem the tide of distress by
famine and war.
In the Russian Caucasus three hun
dred and fifty thousand Armenian
refugees are seeking new homes. Here
in the very shadow of Mount ATarat,
here working hand in hand with the
head of the Armenian church, the Re-
lief Committee augmented by eight
additional helpers who recently ar
rived from America, carries on its
ministration of love under the super
vision of Mr. Smith, the American
Consul.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1918-05-17
PERMANENT WORK

Industrial work in the Russian Cat
casus is being started as fast as funds
are available. Refugees are estab-
lished in new homes and provided
with work. Early in January l5O0
feet of motion picture reel arrived
from Mr.. Richards by the way OF
Moscow. Sections of this reel showed
carding, spinning and weaving as
supervised by the relief committee,
the gathering of harvest grain raised
from seed supplied by the relief work
ers, new homes being built and
orphanages maintained.
Quotations FROM CABLEGRANs:
"Home orphan department taking
on three thousand more children.

hundred Van"
Numerous orphanages hitherto
supported by the Russian government
caring for 10000 children together
with many asylums for old people will

FIVE RELIEF cENTERs

Organization in five relief centers
in Western Asia ConstandnopIe is
the gateway to points within the
Turkish empire. Funds are trans
mitted from America by the way of
Switzerland in the form of credit. In
Constantinople the relief is sent to
twenty-six relief districts where the
funds are administered to the Greeks,
Armenians and Syrian; and subject
races of the empire by American mis-
sionaries, teachers, neutral consular
agents and Swiss distributors. Audited
reports are filed in Constantinopie
with the Swedish Legation which rep
resents officially the United States
government. All the committees COM
munications pass through the State
Department One hundred Americans
are still within the Turkish empire ad-
ministering relief
Southern Palestine is reached from

$4,000 sufferers accessible for inn
