ARMENIAN AND
SYRIAN RELIEF

State Director Robert NJ. Nc
Cracker, who has charge of the
campaign for funds for the relief of
starving Armenians and Syrians in
the Near East has received an urg-
ent message sent from President
Wilsc1 to Cleveland H. Dodge, ma
tional treasurer of the American
Committee for Relief in the Near
East and in which the President
asks America to respond literally
and quickly tc the call that comes
to aid these prosecuted people.
Mr.. McCracken urges all Idaho
counties that are organized and ready
to put On the campaign for their
quota Of the funds asked in this
great humanitarian cause to use
every effort to raise their allotments
during the week as the call comes
constantly to rush help to the hun
dreds of thousands of dying Armen-
ians before it is too late.
If people could only visualize the |
thing that is happening in Asia at !
this very moment" Mr.. McCracken |
said, there would be a quick re-
sponse to the request for Idahos
quota in this drive. Hundreds of
thousands of Armenians-mostly wo-
men and children for the larger
part of tho men have been killed
are starving on the deserts. where
the Turks have driven them. Unless
food, clothing and medicines are
rushed to them quickly the whole
Armenian race is threatened with
extinction. Unless America saves
he pitiful remnant of this, the old
'st Christian race on earth, Turkey
viii succeed in her century long
truggle to utterly destroy the Ar
nenian people. Christendom cannot
olerate the thought of such thing.
Never was there such call for
clip from a people so prosecuted.

Testlna PIeurfsy Win Coins.

A novel method of diagnosing pleU-
risy is described by P. Lereboullet in
the Paris Medical Journal. The eX-
aminer applies his ear to the patients
chest, closing his other ear, while coins
are clinked at the patients back. The
sound of the coins coming through a
healthy, normally aerated lung seems
distant and dull, while through an af-
fected lung through solid or homo
geneous tissue clear, silvery metal
lie ring is heard.

We are prccIudcd from thinking that the United States alone understand, it, own interests and k always ready to safeguard them. It is noncScnsc to suppose that Amcri ca alone k genuinely mcuaccd in some way by the league of nations; for there must be ica- lures in the covenant that threaten some other power if it contains features that seriously threaten us
 There can be only one reason for the present situation which has forced the Pre,i- dent of the United States to take the public platform in a countrywide campaign in be half of the treaty.
