DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanases, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks Because of lack of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these insttu-
tions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty II day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became In
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made survey OF Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
Near East Relief is the only organl-
zation now operating in Western Asia
and 1t is making an appeal to save
these Christian children.
