10000 Armenian Girls
Held Captive by Turks
Commission Just Back From
Near East Seeks Aid in
Rescuing Them
ulng 4 hem
Sprtc1 Correspondence

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-Ffftv
thousand Armenian women and girls
are held captive by Turkish Moslem
houses IN Syria and Mesopotamia alone.
More than 100000 Armenian children
are orphaned as a result of deporta-
tlons and massacres
These two statements will form part
OF report on conditions in the Near
East by a commission of editors and
religious leaders who have lust re
turned to this country after a four
months tour Of the old Turkish En-
pire.
DR.. Paul S. Leinbach, editor Of the
official organ of the Reformed Church
in the United States, was one of the
commission Of eighteen men chosen by
the American Committee for Relief in
the Near East to investigate conditions,
he expressed the opinion to-day that
the Turk is only waiting for an op-
portunlty to oppress further the peo-
pies under Turkish yoke. He declared
that Armenia and other lands in the
Near East are looking to America to
prevent repetition Of the horrors.
"One outstanding fact" he con-
tinued, "is that tha Turk has never
been soundly PUNISHED for all of his
crimes. Despite repeated massacres,
Jealousies of the great powers of Eu-
rope always have prevented just oun
ishment Of the Ottoman Empire. To-
day, as we have observed all indlca-
tions, the Turk expects that by hook or
crook he will escape.
Zone Of the reasons why so manv
women and girls are still in captivity
is that there are not enough rescue
houses" said DR.. Leinbach The
work of rescuing these women would
be fastened il more of these houses
were built The British government is
willing to cooperate in gaining the re-
lease OF these women as soon az places
for sheltering them are constructed

Cire a Thought to
Delancey Street
IOPKEEPERS along Delaney

&HOPKEEPERS along Delaney
~ Street are unanimous In their
praise Of the traffic regulations on the
street. 1t IS one Of the best regulated
thoroughfares in the city despite the
fact that more traffic passes over
William sburg Bridge than over any Of
the other East River bridges.
Beginning al the Bowery. Delancey
Street is divided into eastern and
western runways, separated by wide
parkways. The children use these for
Fairgrounds. At the Clinton Street
approach the police have zoned OF
large safety area and accidents at this
crossing are reported 20 be very few.
During weekdays" says the po-
iiceman stationed at the cornaV OF
Clinton and Delaney streets, 'trolleys
pass by at the rate Of 100 an hour.
Automobiles come by two abreast
proach. These, together with the hun
dreds Of thousands who cross the
streets, make this place a mighty busy
corner"
r Trachtenberg, photographer at
"a Delaney Street, suggests that more
attention be paid TO the policing Of
lower Delaney Street. 'Regulation
near the bridge" he says, is excel
lent. But down here near The Bowery
1t isn't quite as good. Many down
anc-outers come around and sit down
on the benches in the parkways. They
scare the children away and frighten
many of the women. They ought to
be cleaned out regularly"
Delaney Street has become one of
the finest in the city" says I. Hoch-
man, manager of the Rambler Shoe
Store. on the corner Of Norfolk and
Delaney streets, but it seems to me
that the large entrances 20 the under
ground trolley stations which obstruct
the south side of the street between
Norfolk and Clinton streets should be
removed and simpler kiosks erected"

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The bill
introduced in Congress to create de-
partment Of public health with a Secre-
tary in the Cabinet will be amended to
include bureau OF public health nurs-
ing, according to a letter from Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma, to Miss Katherine
Tucker, acting president Of the national
organization for public health nursing,
made public to-day. A public health
nurse is to be named as the head Of
such bureau if the bill is passed
Senator Ovens letter followed ono
from Congressman McDuffie, Of Ala
bama, giving the same assurances IN
regard to similar bill introduced by
McDuftle In the House.
In both bills, such bureau would,
according to the Recommendation Of
the national organization for public
health nursing, "stimulate and promote
public health nursing, and would assist
in the maintenance of high standards
Of personnel and service in this branch

The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund

The picture recites the epic Of the
summer streets.
His pail
The guy" who trails with the "feller"
who needs q friend
The dribbling hydrant and the gutter
puddle, the only balm for-his pavement
scorched feet in hot weather.
The little makeshift boat, plaything
or lad who knows Of boughten TOYS
by hearsay alone
The cop who looks askance at sur
reptltlously opened hydrants and lads
wadlng in fountain basins.
This pal is the lad who has nowhere
to go but the streets He's the ragged
flttle tyke who caught hitch the
other day behind a mail wagon on
Nassau Street, and, when he was scare i
or, tell under an automobile and both
his legs were broken
Lugs Home Firewood
He's the serious-faced lad vbo
haunts warehouse doors toward even
ing and later staggers homeward with
load OF klndlings on his head-fuel
Tor the family cooking. The son
whose mother sometimes hasn't the
quarter for the gas metre when the
flame dies under the evenings kettle
of stew.
That same mother who used to do
your washing and scrubbing until your
family and your neighbours family
went TO the country last week or last
month and knocked two or three days'
wages OFT her weekly income.
This is the boy for whom there are
no such things in all the world as roll
er skates, velocipedes, footballs, sure
enough baseballs. To ease his hunger
for them, he contrives the boat in tba
puddle, whittles out the "catty" and
pats 1t about with a stick from his
head load of kindlings.
But there is a bright side to this
picture. 1t was drawn several days ago
by J. L. Severe, of the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company. Then it was sent
around among the employees Of the
company, with the result that las
week check big enough to provide
fortnight vacations for nine "fellers"
came to the Tribune Fresh Air Fund.
"Pal' Is Left Behind
And that's the reason we call the lad
in this picture "his pal" Ever since
the latter part of June the fund has
been sending the "feller" by the thou
sand off to the country for his fun.
But his pal" has been left behind az
yet.
Stop moment to imagine how he
feels as he sits on his curb and thinks,
" Gee, he's lucky. Wonder if I'm gonna
git a chanct"
He need not be left long in doubt if
every man and woman in New York
and the surrounding region who has
81 to spare would contribute it to buy
vacations for these pals"
The Tribune Fund knows where the
are; it has accommoda-
lions in the country for them, but it
has not the money to pay the expense
Of bringing the two together
In this weeks parties 1,143 boys and
girls will be sent away to begin coun-
try vacations. More may be added
For next weeks parties as many more
are scheduled. The fund has the
money to meet this weeks expenses,
out not those of next.
