the cargo was bought, and the food

President Wilson, realizing the dis

WILSON SEES NEED
FOR QUICK ACTION
President Asks Congress for Large
Sum to Aid in Saving Lives
in Near East.

Sevei,l weeks ago President vii.
On appt0,ott- the campaign fus an
appeal to the people Of this country
for funds to aid the starving in Asia
Minor.
Since he has been in Europe, where
the problem is even closer at hand
than here In America, he has seen 1T
to urge upon Congress the immtdi
ate necessity of quick action in the
appropriation of $lOO,O00,O 600 to aid a
war torn world to relieve the imml
nent suffering that is even now being
felt in Asia Minor, Europe and else
where as a direct result Of four years
Of war.
The T. S. Food Administration has
ranged itself behind the appeal of the
American organization that is seeking
10 raise $3O,000,OOO for the saving Of
tie lives of nearly 100000 people
in the Holy Land, the Caucasus and
Syria.
Food is the desperate need of these
pepole. They are in a far worse sit
uaton than Belgium ever found itself
They are far more needy than the
suffering peoples in Europe where
an effort is being made by the various
governments to furnish food in order
to prevent starvation and to keep
anarchy down.
in Asia Minor the sufferers are be.
yond anarchy or rioting. They are at
the door of death and untold thous.
ands of them have already died.

A certain series Of maps that have
made their appearance in many store
windows, at postoflices, railroad sta
tons. and in churches and school
houses, Is arousing in both old and
young an interest in the geography OF
the Oldest country of which most of us
have not even a vague knowledge.
This map contains a line at the top
that reads as follows: "Where mil.
lions OF human beings are starving

gin to tell the story alone. The tele.
graphic renorts in yo.r daily papers
tell OF the suffering aud dying. The
map merely iascinates one with the
Dames that he became familiar vita IN
childhood and that even now fill him
with reverential awe when he sees
them beckoning to him from the map.
For it is the Holy Land that is
shown so conspicuously in the very
center Of this modern chart. There
Appears Jerusalem, the magnificent
city of David, the city around which
the Bible is written. Directly north,
and not far removed, Is Nazareth,
where Jesus grew to manhood and be.
gan his work Just a few miles south
west OF Jerusalem is Bethlehem, where
the angels rejoiced when He was born

At other points on the map are
shown Damascus. said to be the Oldest
city in the world, and Tarsus, where
the Apostle Paul lived before he be-
came Jesus most devoted follower.
And. while the map with the familiar
names arouses memories of the sab,
bath School and the lessons taught at
mothers knee, one wonders why the
map now IN this twentieth century
takes on new interest.
And that is the pity of It. In all Of
those sacred places grim want and

Are Now on the Scene.

From the time the United States
entered the war it was impossible for
the Red Cross to carry on It's work in
Turkey, With other organizations
they were forced to leave the Otto.

During all the latter part of the

had been eyicted from Turkey the
American missionaries stayed.

Assyrians, the Greeks and the Jews,

ers Of Christ, driven from their homes
by the Turks in the world war, bereft
Of all their possessions, are dying from
actual starvation. and the stricken
lands around them are unable to ex.
tend helping hand.
Jesus is not there in body to perform
the miracle OF the loaves and fishes,
nor to change the water into wine. The
places where Christ pressed his feet
are now abodes of dire distress. The
stricken millions reach out their hands
to America for the things that will
save their lives.
America, the land OF plenty, un.
scathed by war and with her unlimited
financial resources undrained, is the
only country that can give the re-
quired aid, The government cannot
do this officially, for there Is no nation
to deal with-only helpless millions,
President Wilson, in an official proc
lamation, has endorsed the Armenian
and Syrian Relief Campaign that will
save these starving peoples. An ap,
peal is made to America for S3O,OO0,0 900
to perform the task Missouri is asked
TO contribute 100000, and the East
arn District, comprising "a counties, is
asked to meet a quota of S7O0,O0O Of
this ST. Louis will give s45O,0OO, leav.

rest of the district. This county's
quota is so small that II should be
raised on the first day Of the cam.
paisn, which begins Feb. and ends
Feb. 10.
Thus this new and proud land Of
ours. with its inestimable resources, is
asked to aid the stricken people of the
land with the divine history. Chris.
tian Missouri recalls the Savior's
teachings and will not withhold the
support that will aid In saving mil.
