CALL-WILL MARY.
LAND ANSWER?

while the Peace Conference
is planning to give the Armenians
their independence after hun
dreds of years Of oppression by
the Turks America must immedi-
ately give large supplies of food,
clothing and medicine to these
people or they will not be alive
to enjoy their freedom.
Thus was the Armenian situa-
ton summed up last Monday by
former Governor Phillips Colds
borough who is but one of the
many prominent citizens of Mary
land taking most active part in
the work of raising Maryland's
$500, 900 quota of the $50, 900, 900
national relief fund asked by the
American Committee For Relief
In the Near East.
Governor Harrington this week
also further emphasized the need
of response by the people of
Maryland to the appeal when he
said There are four million of
these unfortunate people in
Armenian and Syrian who are at
the point of starvation. They
are asking charity-they are ask
ing for the right as human be-
ings to be kept alive by their
brothers until they can once
more get on their feet. There
men fought bravely. 100000 of
them, for world freedom and
their ancestors have fought for
centuries for the principle of re-
ligious freedom. These people
are entitled to aid from US just
as much as are the war stricken
people of France and Belgium. "

AMERICA SEEKING MARKETS.

America is not delaying a Sec
ond for new markets and stimu-
lating renewed buying in markets
thrown open by the war. Every
departing steamer carries investi-
gators sent by the government
and American manufacturers to
report on what the peoples of
the entire earth want to buy.
The Department of Commerce is
expanding 100000 from the
special fund of President Wilson
in this work. The cost of the
present governmental working
force in foreign fields is approx
mately S18O,O00 a year. Within
four months greatly increased ap-
preparations will probably double
the field army of trade boosters.
The United States has sent a
dozen commercial attaches to the
principal nations of the world.
In addition, a score of trade COM
missioners have been sent to far
off lands to study trade condi-
tions, to which they have devot-
ed a life. study. Two new COM
mercial attaches have been
sent to Rome and to Madrid upon
the invitation of Italy and Spain.
Within a few days DR.. l.. E. Van
Norman will depart for Roumania
to report on prospects in the
Balkans. For the year which
ends with July l theiDepartment
of Commerce has S550.000 for
trade promotion. For the year
beginning July next it is practi-
cally certain that $3.50, 900 will be
available. Officials believe the
machinery for stimulating inter-
est in American goods can be
more than doubled through the
larger funds promised.
