SAYS BELGIUM LAND
 IF PLENTY COMP PARED
 WITH THE FAR FAST

Belgium, Northern France, Poland and Siberia are homes of contentment and prosperity, compared to the war harried districts of the Near East, where 4, 100000 refugees are facing death by starvation and exposure" stated Char les F. Willis, state director of the Unit ed Drive for Relief in the Near East, February 10-17, at state headquarters this morning.
 The land of the Garden of Eden, of historic Assyria, and Babylonia and Judea,-this ancient home of civiliza- tion has long been the bloody play ground of the Turks. The last four years of world war have only been a climax to years of atrocities perpe- trated upon the Christian peoples by the Ottoman government.
 Tt must be remembered that Bel gium and practically all other war rayaged countries are within reach of governmental aid Not so with the | fugitive peoples of the Near East, who have suffered just as truly for the al lied cause as the nations of Europe that were arrayed against the Hun. l For time, at least, alleviation of the 1 sufferingS of these people must come 1 through private patriotism and gen erosity.
 .'The relief of the Near East is equal l ly important with the relief of Bel gium. The allied governments have sent food to Belgium, but the relief ot the starving and ravaged Near East
 is dependent upon the voluntary or ganizations. We have been unable tc take supplies into that part of tho
 world for so long that it is of utmost
 importance to us to minister now tt
 the need which has increased witt
 every year of the war. Americans
 have responded in every instance tC
 the cry of suffering, but the distress
 in the world is so great that we canno
 stop giving. Although the war i.
 over, we still have sacrifices to make | If we keep to the record that we have
 made so far, after February 10-17, the
 dates of the great triple drive for re.

FEDERAL COURT HALF 1. YEAR BEHIND IN WORK

United States Marshal Dillon and Assistant United States Attorneys John H. Langston and J. NJ. Holub, the former having had charge of the grand jury in Tucson, and the latter assisting United States Attorney Flynn for the last week, have re- turned to Phoenix. The grand Jury has been excused until February r., and Judge Sawtelle is making a strenuous endeavor to catch up with an enormous amount of federal work that has been accommodating for some time. The grand jury practically has completed the hearings on all jail cases and, if convened again the 17th, will have a number of bond and orig inal cases to consider.
 Necessity for an additional federal judge, as proposed by bill now be- fore congress, is shown by the fact, according to Judge Langston, that If there was not another new case to come before the federal court. there still would be work enough to keep l the court in constant session for about six months.
 Tn other words says Judge Langs- ton, the federal court is fully half a year behind in it's labors."
