SPLENDID ORGANIZATION
Red Cross Says Armenian and Syrian
 ReIief Campaign ls Necessary.

The question has been asked why the Red Cross docs not undertake the relief work In the Near East that is being done by the American Commit, tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief.
 The Red Cross found the machin- cry of relief already at worN in the Near East-the missionaries, who know the people and speak their lan. guages. and all official representa- tisrs of the United States lad been organized by the American Commit tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief.
 Channels of distribution were well established. And the Red Cross asit- cd the committee to carry on all re- lief work in the Near East territory, in order that there be neither dup'i- caaion nor lost motion.
 fine campaign to raise $30,000oA5 in America begins F.bssrp 2. The nuota for Arkansas is S1so,0oe and the amount asked of this county is so small that it will likely be raised on the first day of the campaign.

A certain series of maps that have windows, at postofflces, railrIad eta tlons, and in churches and school houses, is arousing in both old and young an interest in the geography of the oldest country of which most of us have not even a vague knoWler5e.
 This map contains line at the top that reads as follows; Where mil lions of human beings are starving Western Asia" This map does not be- gin to tell the story alone. The tel. graphic reports in your daily papers tell of the suffering md dying. The map merely fascinates one with the names that he became familiar with in childhood and that even now fill him with reyerential awe when he sees them becokoning to hi,n from the map.
 For it is the Holy Land that ia shown so conspicuously in the very center of this modern chart. There appears Jerusalem, the magnificent city of David, the city around which the Bible is written Directly north, and not far removed, is Nazareth, where Jesus grew 10 manhood and be- gan his work. Just few mfles southwest of Jerusalem is Bethlehem, where the angels rejoiced when He was born In the manager.
 At other points on the map arc shown Damascus. said to be the old est city In the world, and Tar.us, where the Apostle Paul lived before he became Jesus most devoted fol lower

THE DYING EAST
 DEPENDS ON AMERICA
The Land Where Christ Wac Born, and Where His Miracles Were Per- formed, Now the Scene Of
 Untold Misery.

Get out the old school geography or the new atlas and look for Asia Mi nor. Look at the scale of the map and get some idea of it's size There is the cradle of the race. There i3 the home, the beginning place of the great religions of the Western world. Judaism was revealed there and so was Christianity, It is the sacred place of the Moslem as we'll as inc Jew and the Christian. Three great religions call it their Holy Land.
 In the territory of Asia Minor, from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf, the whitening bones of millions of men, women and children are bleach ing under the desert suns. It Is 8 charnel house that is greater even than that smoking bell of the old Western front.
 These people died without a chance. Never rife or machine gun was In their hands. Cut down by the Turks, deported from their native viii lages and driven across mountains and deserts. thrown into the sea and drowned by" thousands in. the muddy rivers of West Asia, they died with cut chance for life.
 When an American traveller can in days travel count more than 5000 rutilated corpses along a roadway it is evident that nowhere in the world has the great struggle taken a heavier toll. %
 Bat even the Turk, practiced in killing as ne has been for ten centu- ries, failed to wipe out the races of the Assyrians and the Armenlans. 1t & true that the Hstiop is piutRlly q,

 America, the land of plenty. LID scathed by war and with her unl1mi, ed financial resources undrained, i. the only country that can give tho required aid. The government can not do this officially, for there is n, nation to deal with--only helpless millions.
 President Wilson, in an ofYlcia proclamation, has endorsed the Al menian and Syrian Relief Canpaig' that will save these starving peoples An appeal is made to America fo $30, ,000, 900 to perform the task. A kansas is asked to contribute $l50 900 as her share of this fund Pr laski county will be expected tt contribute sS0000, or one-fifth of tn total for the state.
