When Federal Food Administrator
Hoover reached the other side. and

sufferings Of the peoples Of the small

ate action that practically places the
United States Government behind the
Armenian and Syrian Relief Cam,
paign, Feb. $40.
First there was q large cargo OF
flour on the Mediterranean destined
for II of the European Countries.
Hoover diverted this. He cabled the
National Armenian and Syrian Com.
mittee. and urged that this he bought
to give immediate relief in the Near
East. 1t was locked at Port Said.
The committee responded by cable.
The $50. 900, 900 to be raised Feb $40
was anticipated. Wealthy men con
nected with the Armenian and Syrian
Committee advanced the money, and
the cargo was bought. and the food
is now being issued under the com,
bined direction of Food Administrator
Hoover and the Armenian Committee.
PresideLt Wilson, realizing the dis,
tress, was not satisfied with the proc.
lamation lie had already issued urg.
ing the people to contribute to the
campaign. but he calls IN Congress to
appropriate 800, 900. 900 for the same
purposes that the Armenian and Sy.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels has
placed at the disposal of the commit

the cargoes Of food and clothing with.

900 that would have been expended
for freight now Is being used for ac.

Thus the peoples in the lands made
