! AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT !

American diplomatic and consular
representatives. and other American
residents recently returned from
Western Asia assure me that many
thousands of lives were saved from
starvation by the gifts of the Ameri-
can people last winter. They also
bring full assurance of the continued
effective distribution of reliefs and re-
port that the suffering and death from
exposure and starvation will inevitably
be very much greater this winter than
last unless the survivors can be helped
by further contributions from Amer
lea.
Reports indicate that of orphans
alone there are more than 100000, be-
sides women and other dependent
children, reaching total of more than
100000 destitute survivors. The sit
uation is so distressing as to make a
special appeal to the sympathies of all.
In view of the urgent need l call
again upon the people of the United
States to make such further contribu-
tons as they feel disposed, in their
sympathy and generosity for the aid
OF these suffering peoples. Contribu-
tons may be made through the Amer
lean Red Cross, Washington, D. c.,
or direct to the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief,
Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, One
Madison Avenue, New York City.

people ana speak tnelT languages, and
all official representatives Of the Uni
/ ted States had been organized by the
! American Committee for Armenian
/ Syrian Relief. Channels of distribu-
/ ton were we'll established And the
| Red Cross asked the Committee to
/ carry on all relief work in the Near
/ East territory, in order that there be
! neither duplication nor lost motion.
/ The territory is Asia Minor, the eau
/ casus, Armenia, Persia and Northern
Egypt.
Every dollar you give, goes to the
| Near East.
OF the $l2,32l145.92 collected before
/ Sept 80, $l2,37l,14592 was sent to
the field. The increase Of $4,000 over
collections was interest accrued from
| daily balances.
! Your $30,000,000 will go in full to
save the lives of individuals and OF
/ whole countries.
Fun government approval and CO.
operation is given to the Commits
sions work. All funds are transmit
| ted through the Department of State.
The Shipping Board and all consular
agents Of the United States Govern
il4NlL give CNGl 'OSSlDlC dlU.
There are 3,950,000 souls, 100000 OF
whom are or0hans, all in desperate
need. II cents per person per day is
the estimated expense Of giving them
food.
Catholics, Protestants and Jews
alike have been the victims of Turk
ish oppression and of Turkish gov
eminent order to exterminate or drive
from their homes and industries every
other people in the Near East. Cath
olics, Protestants and Jews alike are
receiving every help within our power.
The Commissions work is one, not
only Of relief, but of reconstruction.
Our budget includes seeds for next
years crops, farm implements, cattle
and sheep. These people are freed
from their opDressors, but shprn of
homes and property. Our part is to
set them on their own feet.
A cablegram signed by Stovall, Uni
ted States Minister at Berne, Switz-
erland, follows:
Refugees from all countries and
many deported Armenans drifting
back. Their homes in ruins, lands laid
waste. cattle and implements gone.
Need help to reestablish. Need much
help for they have lost everything.
Heroic men and women who have
strained every ENERGY to save lives
now have task of picking out those
who shall perish. Can you not cable
that promised monthly appropriation
is certain till end June, 1919? Such
action would double value of gift"
The Near East looks to America as
the defender of liberty, the big broth
er to little peoples America has
given them their greatest uplift--their
colleges, their chief encouragement to
progress and generous help through
their crises. The great war has re-
suited in their liberation.
Shall they lack our support for eff
fectual rehabilitation?
Shall we fail TO save them from inn
mediate starvation.
c. Y, Vickrey secretary of the Com
mittee, said;
we, OF course, cannot meet the
need as outlined in this reduced bud
get on a $30,0O0,000 basis, and are
earnestly hoping for oyersubscrip-
tons that will provide for the addi-
tional need. If oyersubscriptions are
not given to us it means that some Of
the destitute people must continue to
suffer while we help as many as pos
sible with the resources placed at our
command"

Financial Statement.
$7,780,991.5s

We gave relief to about $4,000 in
the mountains and Beirut district. The
people bake their bread in loayes
which weigh about one and a half
pounds Every individual gets a
quarter of loaf day Fifteen thou
sand people were receiving this ration.
They had to make breakfast, dinner
and supper of it. 1t was not much,
but it kept them from starvation.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-01-10

We are glad for the funds that are
coming. They relieve lot of distress.
1t is a great satisfaction to know that
some thousands have clothing and
bedding and other thousands food,
much of it earned in our own shops.
By this means the women are free
from temptations which are terrific,
as well as being assisted in forgetting
the horrors of which they have so re-
Gently passed through.

America did not realize the hunger
that existed in some parts OF Turkey.
| can best illustrate it by telling you
about a little boy who was brought
to one OF the hospitals. His condi-
ton was such that he could not eat
solid food, but he cried for a piece Of
bread When the physicians told him
he couldn't eat bread he said he didn't
want to eat it, he just wanted to put
it under his pillow so that he could
feel that food was near.

SOLDIERS HELP ORPHANS

The British army in Mesopotamia,
which was victorious over the Turk
ish forces, was responsible for the
saving of the lives of many of the
Armenian children, who were orphan
ed by the wholesale murder and de-
portation of their parents at the hands
of the Turks, according to advices re-
ceived from field workers.
There are two small boys, named
Pat and David, respectively, aged APP
parently about four years. who were
picked up by the British soldiers and
carried along with the regiment until
place of asylum was found" says
one Of the workers. "The children
salute in the most approved fashion,
and are only just getting over their
sorrow at parting from the soldiers,
to whom they owe their lives. For
months they were cared for by the
'Tommies' and were found wandering
about, too small and wretched to be
able to tell any story, even had their
Arabic been understood by Tommy
Atkins"
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-01-10

The army ration department is al
lowing us to purchase most of our
food at the military rate, which will
save considerable sum each month.
Lastly, we have obtained first order
of work from the ordnance depart
ment, for the washing and mending of
large quantity of army clothing. We
hope to give the satisfaction necessary
to obtain further orders. Everyone
recognizes the necessity of getting
work for the bigger girls, in order
that they shall not only assist in their
own support, but also that they may
not remain unoccupied during a great
part Of the day. OF course the little
boys and girls go to school AS a
number OF the inmates OF the orphan
age are reported to be skillful with the
needle (many of the Armenian women
of the North do extremely fine work.
they will begin to prepare articles for
a sale of work later on in the year.

Natural Resources Of China.

One reads In Chinese history that
several centuries before the beginning
OF the Christian era the banners of
China were carried to the Caspian sea,
there to meet the banners Of Rome,
and that the way was thus paved for
China's silks and iron in European
markets. The Shansi iron industry is
claimed by a Chinese writer TO be the
Oldest in the world. Like many others
Of the great resources OF China, the
country's deposits of iron ore have
heen but little developed. DR.. II. Fos-
ter Balm, assistant director OF the
United States Bureau OF Mines, who
spent some time In China investigating
its mineral resources, estimates that
China has 100000, 900 tons of iron ore
available and suitable FOR modern fur
mace reaction and an additional 3OO.-
100000 tons that might be treated by
native methods.
