ders are fighting for the rotting meat

that comes to their hands. They are
literally starving.
The sandy trails Of the desert are
lined with the bodies Of the starved.

lean men and women relief workers
have been doing their best there for a
long time. Some of them have given
their lives in an effort to save these
people. The Turks and the Germans
were determined to wipe out these
people while the world was so busy
with war that It could not turn aside
to answer the piteous appeals that
were coming out Of the Businesses OF
the Turkish Empire. Now that the
curtain has been lifted by the ending
of the war, the world knows that they
succeeded all too well.
Christian Missourians are asked to
help save these stricken peoples. The

For Nominal Sum For Worthy
Charity.

Fifteen hospitals, of 100 beds each,
including complete equipment and
200 motor trucks, were purchased by
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com
mittee from the United States Govern
ment since the armistice was signed,
for a nominal sum. Buildings are al
ready available in Armenia, Syria and
Turkey for this equipment, and 1t In
now being moved from France.
More than two million Christian Ar
menians,. Greeks and Syrians, who are
in distress because Of persecution
from the Turks, will thus be provided
for. The money derived from the Ar
menian and Syrian Relief Campaign,
Feb. $40. will cause these hospitals to
be available for the use OF those af-
nicted peoples
The quota for the Eastern District,
outside of st. Louis, is only $3.50, 600.

ALL Will GET JOBS

for Labor.
Devastated Europe Will Look to
United States to Help
Rebuild.

New York.-Jobs for all will be had
for the asking in the period of the
worlds reconstruction. There's to be
no slump in the demand for labor.
1t has been estimated that no fewer
than 100000 men have been killed
in Europe. ThesUnited States, which
has not lost $4,000 men, must make
good this huge labor loss.
Devastated Europe will look to the
United States for help to rebuild. We
must finance this big job and supply
the materials and tools.
According to M. Tardieu, French
high commissioner, 1t will take two
years to get the French coal mines in
working order and ten years to put
them In prewar condition. To recon-
struct private homes alone will re-
quire the work of 100000 men for 20
years.
Prof. Van den Ven of Louvain, now
In the United States, says the war
losses of Belgium total approximately
S4,000,000,000. Before the drive more
than $4,000 buildings had been de-
stroyed. Practically all the important
factories have been robbed of their
machinery, and, in many cases. not
only the walls RACED but the very foun-
| datiOns destroyed.
The machinery was shipped to Ger
many. Towns and villages have been
wrecked. Farms have been robbed of
all live stock. Miles of interurban
railroads have been torn up and
shipped to Germany.
The problem is first to keep alive
the population released by Germany

machine so the people can make q

England also will want food, manu-
featured goods, raw material and ma
chinery In great quantities. So will
Italy and the Scandinavian countries.
George q. Roberts OF the National
City bank maintains that the United
States will pass out of the war period
with more wealth than she possessed
before the conflict began. There has
been much scientific development o.

stimulated as never before.

A certain series of maps that have
made their appearance in many store

lions, and IN churches and school
houses, is arousng in both old and
young an interest in the geography OF
The oldest country Of which most Of us
have not even a vague knowledge.

graphic reports in your daily papers
tell of the suffering and dying. The

For 1t IL the Holy Land that is

appears Jerusalem, the magnificent

where Jesus grew to manhood and be-
gan his work. Just a few miles south
west OF Jerusalem is Bethlehem, where
the angels rejoiced when He was born
In the manger.
At other points on the map are
shown Damascus. said to be the oldest
city in the world, and Tarsus, where
the Apostle Paul lived before he be-

America. the land Of plenty, un

President Wilson, in an official proc

save these starving peoples. An ap
