SELL CHILDREN TO SAVE
THEM

Women are selling their chill
dren to save them from starvation
according to a recent report re-
ceived from Persia. The report
follows:
Typhoid and typhus are ter
ribly prevalent. The camels who
bring in our bags of rice kneel
down and eat greedily the raw
grains that leak out of the sacks.
Women who get rice eat some
of it raw. A laborer came in two
days ago and said: Please give
me some rice to chew. I am so
weak. I have had nothing since
last night. I get thirty cents a
day and have a wife and chill
dren. My wages will only buy a
pound and a half of bread. I am
faint with hunger" He got a
handful of rice and put some into
his mouth and commenced to
chew while he dug feebly with his
shovel.

Ernest E. Lazy writes from Bagdad:
"The stories of horrors, etc, are SINH
lar from all quarters. There is no
need for one to say over again what
has often been. said before. But it is
impossible to exaggerate the cruelty
and fiendishness of the deeds perpe-
trated."

AMBASSADOR ELKUS

"When I left Constantinople, owing
to the breaking of diplomatic relations
with Turkey, the work of relief car
ried on by the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief was
so thoroughly organized that arrange
ments were easily made for continuing
that work in every department, even
in the absence of the Embassy and the
United States Consuls at different
points in the country. The work is
now being carried on effectively at all
of the centers under increasing friend
illness on the part of the Turkish Of
ficials, and with a need that is con-
stantly growing greater"

THE PEOPLES OF WESTERN
ASIA
The Armenians

Armenia was the first nation to EN-
brace Christianity as national re"
ligion. Apostles Thaddeus and Bar
tholomew preached the gospei ther :,
The Armenian Church has had lo|
Pontiffs in unbroken succession;
whose seat, since 800, with occasions
transfers elsewhere has been at Etch-
m;adzin. the Great Monastery in Rus-
sian Armenia. -ooooo A.
menians lin 1919 100000 lived IN
Turkey. about 100000 in Russian
Armenia, and the remainder were
scattered over the world.
In Turkey, despite the oppressive
and obstructive rule, the Armenlans
have been one OF the principal con
structive forces.
The Syria.
Syria occupies strategic Posl''oh
in the map of the old world De'hs
connecting link, bridge, as IL WERE
between Europe, Asia and Africa
SYRIA is the birthplace oil two Mono
theistic religions-Judaism and ChTi-
tianity, and is closely related 10 the
birth and development oil thIrd'
M ohammedanlsm.
The country has five provinces;
Aleppo, one OF whose cities is
Antioch; Damascus. whose capital by
the same name is reputed to be the
oldest city in the world; the Lebanon
famous for its cedar trees. beirut
whose capital by the same name is the
seaport Of Syria, and Jerusalem.
The Greeks.
The Greeks in Turkey are confined
mostly to the shores OF Asia Minor
and the adjacent islands. They are
direct descendants of the Greeks who
held sway in Constantinople until its
capture by the Mohammedans in 1883
They number in Turkey about five
millions, speak Greek and profess
Orthodox Christianity. The Greek
element is one of the most progress
i've elements in Turkey and controls
the finances of the empire.
The Assyrians.
The Assyrian Christians inhabit
portion of the territory known to
ancient history as Assyria, including
a part of Mesopotamia Kurdistan and
northwestern Persia. They are also
sometimes designated HISTORIANS.
Syriac is their mother tongue. They
number about 100000 persons. 1t was
Assyrian missionaries who carried the
gospel of Christ to Arabia, India and
China. The Occident is indebted to
this church for preserving the divine
message and transmitting it to the
modern world.
The Jews.
The historical status of the Jews
and their contributions to the civiliza-
ton are we'll known. A great many
of the inhabitants of Palestine and
Syria are Jewish.

apostles, our religion, our Bible, our
Savior are some of the incalculable
gifts of these great peoples. We will
not forget, that in the early centuries
the ancestors of these sufferers I'M
stintedly gave their tears and blood
for the preservation of great intel
lectual and spiritual sources of wealth.
Without these great blessings and
their implications the broad plains of
America would still echo the war
whoop of the savage Indian. If the
ancestors of these people have made
such great contributions to our history
and civilization, is it too much to ex-
pect that we shall arise and discharge
a little of Our great debt by supplying
their children with bread2"

new ORGANIZATION
FOR RELIEF WORK
Prominent Men of Country to
Help Sufferers.

Following out the work formerly
carried on by the American Commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, a
new organization covering a wider
scope of territory and taking the
name American Committee for Relief
in the Near East has been formed and
a bill has passed the Senate incorpor-
ating it to do relief work in Euro
pean and Asiatic countries.
The campaign committee appointed
by the organization to superintend
raising a fund of $30,000,000 for re-
lief work between January IL and 10
is composed of Alexander ]. Hemp
hill, chairman; Cleveland H. Dodge,
treasurer; William B. Miller, director
general, and the following;

RELIEF WORKERS FOLLOW
ARMY

considerable difficulty has been
experienced by myself and others, who
were interested in the fate of the Ar
menian peoples, with the Ottoman
authorities, who prevented the dis
tribution of relief among the sufferers
by foreigners" declared Henry Nor
genthau, former ambassador to Tur-
key, few days ago.
THE opposition was at first very
strong, so that our consuls and mis-
sionaries could render only clandes-
tine help to the needy people. The
Turks insisted that l should turn
over the funds to them and that they
ton. l emphatically refused on the
ground that the donors would not au-
thorize me to do that. The attitude
of the Turkish government, however,
was later modified and our workers
are able to reach the victims every
where. Their ability to save lives is
limited only by the amount of relief
funds placed at their disposal"
With the war now at an end, the
relief workers are following the Brit
ish and French armies of occupation
into the Ottoman empire and are con-
tinuing their relief work among the
refugees left in the towns. British
and French military men are assisting
the American relief workers.
British and French military leaders
in the occupied territory of Turkey
have stated to their governments as
we'll as to the United States govern
ment that the American Committee
for Relief in the Near East, because of
its complete organization and work
ers, who are familiar with the Ian
guage and habits of the peoples, is
best prepared to conduct relief work
among the suffering people.

Resident of Turkey, an Eye-Wit-
ness of Deportations and
Massacres.
Today, after over three years of
terrible war, thousands of Christian
congregations are scattered, schools
are closed, churches and other prop
erty lie in ruin and millions have been
massacred, while the wretched rem
nants of the martyred nations scat
tered everywhere, homeless, naked
and starving, are refugees whose con-
ditions beggar description.
We can never forget that this great
martyred throng died for their faith.
This awful storm has been test of
their fidelity and loyalty to Christ and
millions have proved faithful.
Again, no massacre or human
cruelty has been able to crush the
spirit of many who have suffered so
terribly. They are wonderfully brave
and patient in their suffering. have
heard many say: "Never mind what
has gone, what we have suffered, if
only such things are made impossible
for our children in the future"
Many have gone back to their
homes, where all is ruin, and are
ready to begin again and rebuild, if
satisfied that they will be protected.
have heard Christians with
streaming eyes asking God to forgive
those who had so cruelty wronged
them and outraged their loved ones,
and Mohemmadans standing by have
walked away awed, and saying, What
kind of religion is this that enables
them to ask God to forgive us2"
DR.. J. P. McNaughton, for twenty
five years a resident of Turkey, ad-
dressing the annual meeting of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, said !:
THE ancestors of these people
contributed more of the rich content
that has entered into the warp and

nations combined. Our prophets and

INCIDENTS TO STIR ONES
SOUL

1t gives some idea of the appalling
catastrophe that has overtaken this
people when one considers that out of
population of about 100000 refugees
in this province, fully 10000 are
fatherless children. To these must be
added also many more in the Baku,
Kars and Erzroom regions.
An American doctor coming down
the mountain side from the Lebanon
noticed in the distance a throng of
children and wondered why so many
were gathered in one place. Upon
coming near he discovered that a
camel had. died by the roadside and
these famshed children were in dcs-
peration picking the last shreds of
flesh from the skeleton of the fallen
beast. Children eagerly picking grains
from the dung of animals in the street
have become a common sight.
Tender-hearted American Swomen
have been compelled to steel them
selves against the sight of children in
the street dying for lack of food-to
pass by without helping, having no
resources to warrant adding one more
to the number already being fed.
A hard task is assigned the mission
aries, that of practically signing the
death sentence Of children. For ex-
ample, in one case there were 430 chill
dren with funds sufficient for only
seventy. The missionaries were
forced to select the seventy and say
no to the equally or possibly more
destitute 800.
So far as Syria is concerned Beirut,
Palestine and the Lebanon have suf-
tered most. Many villages have be-
come depopulated. An American pass
ing through village last summer saw
only one house open. The people had
either emigrated or persisted In one
doorway sat a little girl, apparently
alone in the world. She kept saying
over and over, Pm hungryl I'm
hungry" The children in all the viii
lagos look like old men and women.
In Alelth no grapes are expected be-
cause children have eaten the shoots
and young leaves. The mulberry
orchards were planted with wheat. but
in many cases children have plucked
the wheat to eat the seeds clinging
to the roots.
Great as is the tragedy of massacre,
greater tragedy was the forced de-
portations, 100000 women and chill
dren from one district alone. 1t is ter
rible to contemplate their fate after
the war. The nations should provide
means for. searching out and restoring
any Survivors to their homes and
loved ones.
1t is hard for decently fed Ameri-
cans to conceive of the horrible denth.
to which helpless Armenian children
have had to go for food" that is not
food American consuls have seen
them IN crowds quarreling over the
diseased flesh left on the carcasses of
dead animals in the streets. Discarded
peelings and we'll nigh unspeakable
garbage are prizes.

HUMAN INTEREST STORIES

The Kurds had looted and pillaged
until one man had % rooms full of
plumber. He soon found he couldn't
buy from the distributors and he was
hungry. The loot would not serve as
bread. and at last he came bringing all
that he had stolen to the relief agents.
Some OF these Kurds instead Of being
robbers became helpers.
Mother" sobbed little child just
outside a relief station, Fdon't God
send us bread?" Eyes, my child, God
makes the wheat to grow and that
means bread. Don't cry; the kind
Americans will give US Gods bread,
we'll have to wait in line
Persia committees ask American APP
proval for the inclusion OF special re-
lief work for another group of 10000
driven from home by war. Villages
destroyed. Extreme restitution. AT
least children should be saved. No
hope except America. Wholesale re
lief is most strategic measure for
pacification and settlement of the local
race problem This the most abject
case Of suffering we have seen. They
come pleading for work until it seems
sometimes as though we must go
crazy from being constantly compelled
to refuse them. 1t is one constant
stream of ragged, forlorn women with
drawn faces, begging with tears, and
demanding work. 1t is impossible for
the people to return to their old
homes; conditions are too uncertain.
Local farmers and merchants feel the
stress of the times too much to en-
ploy help, so the refugees are depend
ent almost wholly on charity. 1t is
pitiful to see people once well now
begging.
1t seems inconceivable that in this
day and age, human beings could
cruelty, drown, tear to pieces and
burn by wholesale other human be-
ings.
| have taken over the wool and cot
ton carding and spinning industries
here in Erivan. We now have 1850
women and about fifty men in the
Erivan carding and spinning alone.
In Aleppo the largest single relief
measure has been an orphanage car
ing for 1000 children. 1t cost about Is
piasters per day per child, and even
then the children work from morning
to night. The orphanage uses its own
flour mill and makes its own bread.
There are shoe making and repairing
departments. Cows are kept and but

about town the vegetables they help

THANKSGIVING WEEK

The Goodrich National Touring Blu
reau has written letters TO all Of the
automobile associations OF the United
states asking that the week Of Novem-
Der 1922 inclusive be set aside as
Farm TO Table Week.
In a communication addressed 10 fne
Wilmington Automobile Club the Good
rich Bureau states that owing 10 the
present high cost Of living II is ND 20
everyone TO do everything possible TO
better conditions. The communication
continues that a great number OF peo-
pie residing in the town often take mo-
tor trips into the country. and sur-
sests that on these trips The motorists
could stop at farmhouses and make
purchases Of quantities Of foodstuffs
which the farmers often think IRE not
sufficient TO sell.
A parafraph Of the letter reads.
"Ihe hundreds Of thousands OF moior
trips taken every week. and which are
taken mostly for recreational mr.
roses. can be turned 10 good account

percentage Of these motorists ever stop
