Suffering Peoples to be Helped

Two prominent men in Hunt
erdon County have responded to
the appeal of President Wilson
asking the American people to
display an active interest in the
work of the American Commit
tee for relief in the Near East.
which will conduct a nation wide
campaign for thirty million
dollars. w. w. Hawke, a well
known dentist, has agreed to act
as chairman in Pennington, ana
Charles w. Dilts, big business
man of Lambertville will be the
chairman for that city.
For several years the work of
the American Committee has
been carried on effectively.
Among the men identified with
the committee are VIM. H. Taft,
former President: Charles E.
Hughes, former U. S. Supreme
Court Justice: Cleveland H.
Dodge, the big New York bank
er, and many other prominent
men. The funds received for
the suffering peoples have been
forwarded through the State De-
partment, and all expenses in
cident to the administration of
the work have been provided for
by private means. AS a result
every dollar contributed has
been sent to the relief of the
suffering Christians of Armenia
and Syria.
The American Red Cross has
not been in a position to take up
this work. 1t has too much to
do in Europe, it is unable to get
admission to countries con-
trolled by the Turkish govern
ment, and it lacks the organ
iZation necessary to carry on the
work properly. It's officials are
in thorough sympathy with the
American Committee, and the
Society has made contributions
amounting to $2,200,000. Many
Of the Red Cross workers of
New Jersey, who realize there
will be no big drive for that or
ganization when the member
Ship campaign is finished, and
approaching the fact that this
work is equally as important, are
railing to the support of the
committee in many places.
In spite of the ending of the
war press dispatches indicate
that the Christian Armenians
are being killed and tortured by
the demobilized Turkish soldiers.
The Turkish government does
not seem to have much control
over these troops and they are
robbing the homes of Christians
and killing them at will.

M|NOTTO CLEARED
OF GUILT SUSPICION
IN CA|LLAUX PLOT.
Becker Says He Was Not a
Conscious Agent of Germans
and Is Loyal to u. S.

Alfred l.. Becker. Deputy Attorney
General of New York, issued state
ment to-day. intended. as he said, TO
clear Count James Minotto of any
possible suspicion that his association
with the principals in the Caillaux-
Luzburg conspiracy to bring about n
separate peace between France and
Germany in 1915. pointed to his guilty
participation in the plot.
Elaborating his announcement OF
yesterday that Minotto had talked
with freedom IN preparing a sworn
statement for tho French Govern
ment. in the prosecution OF Joseph
Caillaux. former Premier, on a charge
OF high treason, Becker declared that
Minotto's deposition was made vol
UNFAIRLY and with a desire to aid the
American and French Governments.
He also expressed the belief that
Minotto never was "A conscious agent
OF the German Government. and
though interncd as an enemy allen.

Minotto. who married "A daughter OF

Argentina In 1915 as foreign repre-
sentative of New York bank. There,
according to Mr.. Becker. he naturally
met the German Minister, Count Won
LuNburg, as his bank dealings were
largely with German financial and
commercial Institutions When Call
lauN reached Buenos Aires on a spe-
cial mission for the French Govern
mcnt, Minotto also made his ac-
quaintance.
Subsequently he carried between
Caillaux and Luxburg oral messages
relating TO the alleged conspiracy to
restore CaillauX TO power I'm Paris and
| align France with Germany in war
against England and Russia. Though
MlnOtto did not attend an actual con-
| ference between Caillaux and Lux
berg, Becker said, his evidence re-
garding their conversation was i'm
portant as part of the case against
the former premier.
Becker added that Minotto'a testi-
mony was corroborated not only by
Americans but by evidence gathered
through official sources in the Argsn-
tine capital.
Mlnotto, Mr.. Becker said earlier in
the day, probably would not be re-
turned to the internment camp at Fort
Oglethorpo, Ga. owing to the possible
feeling toward him among other Ger
mans interncd there.
