Syrians. AT this conference the needs
of these people were brought before
us in the most vivid manner and
our sympathies are thoroughly arous
ed.
The campaign of preparation for
this drive is being rapidly organized
and will be pushed throughout the
country among ali races. In, order
that the race may be adequately in
formed as well as given full credit
for its contribution to this effort, fol-
lowing the grouped idea, a Colored
division has been Incorporated and
Adolphus Lewis has been loaned by
the Laymen's Missionary Movement
to serve as director for this division.
This is not merely high personal
compliment, but it is first of all a
signal recognition of the executive
ability and leadership of the race.
During the war period just closing,
no people have suffered more than
the Armenian and Syrians. Many of
these men, women and children have
been deported and eglled by order
Of the Turkish Government, under
the most brutal and horrible CON
ditions. Thousands OF them are many
miles from home in the wilderness,
in homeless, friendless, penniless
condition and will die OF prjvation
and starvation during this winter uD-
less we give them relief. SO great

Representative Colored men from
various parts of the country gather

in response to the invitation of the
American Committee for Armenian

by which the Negroes of the United
States may cooperate as unit with
the thirty million dollar drive for the
starving Armenians and Syrians. Af-
ter due consideration of plans
brought to them by Mr. Adolphus
Lewis, the director of this work

appeal was unanimously adopted, and

Estimate Five Years Required
To Compile War Records.
Washington, D. G.. Jan. 1s, 1918.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 16, 1919.
The estimate of the War Depart
ment is that it will take five years
for the women clerks and employees
in the different Washington offices to
complete the task of compiling war
records. There are miles of records,
and tons of data, to be tabulated
before the girls close their desks and
go back to their homes in Michigan
and Texas and Iowa, from whence
they came in response to the Govern
ment's request for help.
We are beginning to learn that
it takes time to unmake war, just
as it does to make 1t.
But, though the glamor of the
war job has departed from these
clerical positions, the girls will need
the recreational program that has
been planned for them as much, if
not more than ever. Ard the Young
Women's Christian Association is go
ing to go right on looking out for
them. The vacation houses will re-
main open. and the large hotel for
women clerks opposite the Union
Staticp will continue to operate. So
the families back at home don't
need to worry about daughter In

The privilege of continuing your
government insurance is a valuable
right given to you as part of the
compensation for your heroic and
triumphant services. If you permit
the insurance to lapse, you lose that
right and you will never be able
to regain it. But if you keep up
your present insurance-by the regu-
lar payment of premiums-you will
be able to change it into a standard
Government policy without medical
examination. Meantime you keep up
your present insurance at substanti-
ally the same low rate. The Govern
ment will write ordinary life insur-
ance, twenty-payment life, endow-
usual forms of insurance. This will
be Government insurance-at Govern
ment rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury Depart
ment-will safeguard you and your
loved ones with the spirit and pur-
pose of a Republic grateful to its
gallant defenders. To avail your
self of this protection, you must keep
up your present insurance. Carry

and an asset, the continued insurance

end. We herein give an extract of
the same.
ut is estimated that about 4,000,-
900 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and
other war sufferers in the Near East
will require outside help to sustain
them through the winter. Many of
them are now hundreds of miles from
their homeland. The vast majority
of them are helpless, women and
children, including 100000 orphans.
The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is appealing for
a minimum of $30,000,000 to be sub
scribed January 1919, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
|, therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months

own, have been left In a starving,

To be called upon to take part as

movement is an opportunity that
should be eargerly seized by all low
ers of humanity and especially by
people who has suffered as we
cannot better show our gratitude
than by coming to the relief of

In this effort there is to be no
separate organization. But as in the
recent United War Work Drive, the
work will be part of that of the
regular local committees with Col
ored men directing it. AS far as
possible and practical the same
methods on organization that were
used in that drive, will be used in
this.
In view of these things, we recon-
mend that our race contribute two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
as its quota of the sum needed. To
this end We appeal to bishops, pas
tors, churches and Sunday schools,
Secret orders, women's clubs and

zations; schools, colleges and other

tons to cooperate in this great
