PRESIDENT WILSON, IN
PROCLAMATION, STRONGLY
URGES NEAR EAST RELIEF

For more than three years Ameri-
can philanthropy has been large fac
tor in keeping alive Armenian, Sy-
rian, Greek and other exiles and refu-
gees of Western Asia.
ION two former occasions have ap-
pealed to the American people in be-
half of these homeless sufferers, whom
the vicissitudes of war and massacre
had brought to the EXTREMIST need.
1.-THE response has been most gener-
Gus, but now the period of rehabilita-
ton is at hand. Vastly larger sums
will be required to restore these once
prosperous, but now impoverished, ref
ugees to their former homes than
were required merely to sustain life
in their desert exile.
at is estimated that about 100000
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other
war sufferers in the Near East will re-
Quire outside help to sustain them
through the winter. Many of them are
now hundreds of miles from their
homeland. The vast majority of them

Guiding 100000 orphans.
THE American Committee for Re
lief in the Near Hast is appealing for
a minimum of $S000O,000 to be sub
scribed January 1919, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
Il, therefore, again call upon the
people 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 OPP
pressed people in their former homes
on a self-supporting basis.

If Constipated, Bilious

"CascaretS"

Sick headaches, biliousness, coated
tongue, or sour, gassy stomach-always
trace this to torpid liver delayed, fer
menting food in the bowels.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system is reabsorbed into the
blood When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
ton and that dull, throbbing, sickening
headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all the
constipated waste matter and poisons in
the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep.-Adv.

 DENIES IMPLICATION
 IN MONGOLlAN AFFAIR

TOXIC, May 15 Correspondence of the Associated Press) ).-The Japanese government has issued denial of re- ports that Japanese are implicated in the Mongolian independence move ment. The statement characterizes as gross canard" the charge that Jap anese military officers are taking con- joint action with Colonel Semenoff and declares that from what Japanese mili- tary authorities have ascertained that Colonel Semenoff, the Cossack leaders, emphatically denied all connection with the independence movement.
 Two leaders of the Mongolian inde- penencc party arrived in Tokio in the latter part of April to inaugurate a movement for the political independ- ence of Mongolia and Manchuria and to unite those two Chinese provinces in one state.

 San Francisco, May 25, 1919. To the Editor:
 Dear sir:-That the Victory Liberty Loan met with the same gratifying success as did the four preceding loans was due in a great measure to the loyal support of practically every newspaper and magazine in the United States.
 We are indeed grateful to the pub fishers and editors of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district for their gen. erous contribution to the government of space both in their news and ad- vertising columns during the several Liberty loan drives and particularly during the Victory loan campaign be- cause the sacrifices of peace times in behalf of the national government in dicate a higher type of patriotism than is prompted by the hystAia of people at war.
 "Now that the last popular loan has been successfully floated we want you to know that we fully appreciate the great service you have rendered our government. In our humble way we thank you.
 It is quite beyond our power to compensate you for your efforts in be- half of war financing, but the enclosed medal made from captured German cannon may serve as a pleasant re- hinder of our gratitude for your able cooperation with us.
 Very sincerely yours,
