Campaign to Be Launched to Raise S3O,OOO,OOO for Relief of Armenians,
 Syrians and Greeks

New York, December 11.-A proclama- tion by President Wilson calling upon the people of the United States to con tribute money to sustain the Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the near east during the winter was made public here today~by the American committee for Armenian and Syrian re- lief This committee, with the American committee for relief in the near east, will conduct a campaign to raise a mini. mum of $50, GOO from January F to l9, to finance this relief project, which Is approved also by the French govern ment The Presidents proclamation, dated at the White House on November 19, reads:
 For more than three years American philanthropy has been a large factor in keeping alive Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other exiles and refugees of west ern Asia.
 pealed to the American people in behalf of these homeless sufferers whom the vlcissitudes of war and massacre had drought to the extrenest need.
 The response has been most generous, but now the period of rehabilitation is tt hand Vastly larger sums will be required to restore these once prosper ous, but now immediately poverished refugees to their former homes than were required merely to sustain life in their desert exile.
 Tt is estimated that about 4o0. 600 Armenian, syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the near east will require outside help to sustain them through the winter. Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their homeland The vast majority of them are helpless women and children. Including 100000 orphans.
 The American committee for relief in the near east is appealing for mini mum of $3O0o0O00 to be subscribed Janu- ary 12-19, 1919, with which to meet the most urgent needs of these people.
 T, therefore, again call upon the peo- pie of the United States to make even more generous contributions than they have made heretofore to sustain through the winter months those who, through no fault of their own, have been left in starving, shelterless condition and to help re-establish these ancient and sorely oppressed people in their former homes on a self-sustaining basis.'
 Information that 15o,00O refugees from districts where populations were being massacred were dying by hundreds daily from hunger and cholera" has been received by the relief organization here from Harrison A. Maynard and Theo- dore A. Elmer, two of it's workers in the near east The cablegram sent from Bagdad, December 4, said the Turks and Germans had despoiled the land of it's available wheat, that general starvation was imminent and that immediate credit and additional workers, especially physi- clans, were imperative.

PEOPLE COME FIRST

The first consideration in the minds of the allies will be the interests ef the people upon whom the Germans have made war and not in the interests of the German people who have made war and have been equally guilty of that crime"
 With regard to the former German Emperor, the premier said:
 'sFhere Is absolutely no doubt
 that he has committed crime
 against international right. and
 there is absolutely no doubt that
 he ought to be held responsible
 for 1t so far ms the European aI-
 lies are concerned.
 The premier said he hoped that America would take the same view when President Wilson arrived, as to the demand that the Kaiser and his accomplices be held responsible for this terrible crime"
 Referring to a letter said to have been written by British general to French general in which the British officer was quoted as saying 1t was proposed to establish a British na- tional army of 20 divisions based on conscription, but that "the cabinet would not touch this until after the elections and then not until this league of nations has been discussed at the peace conference,' Premier Lloyd George declared:
 The cabinet has never heard of the scheme. So far as the cabinet is con cerned 1t is purely an expression of the opinion of some general"

 Turning to the question of providing fuller education through the public schools, particularly for the foreign born Secretary Lane said:
 Our war experience has taught us among many things. the value of a strong national spirit, the vital impor- tance of national ideals, the impotence of ignorance, the dependence of this modern world upon skilled men and or ganizing ability, the need for and the possibilities that lie in the extension of cooperative effort of all kinds.
 There can be neither national unity in ideals or in purpose unless there is some common method of communication through which may be conveyed the thought of the nation. All Americans must be taught to read and write and thlnk in one language; this IS a primary condition to that growth which all na- uonS expect of us and which we de- mand of ourselves
 The educational problem extends be- yond the state to the federal govern ment, MT. Lane said, adding that If xthe federal government would make the same kind of an offer to the states for the education of their illierates that if makes for the construction of roads .in hye years there would be few, if any. who could not read and write in this country"
 In concluding his report -,n the subject Of education, MT. Lane safd:
 should like to see the day when every child learned a trade while at school, trained his mind and his hand together, lifted labor into art by the application of thought
