NEW COIN FOR CANADA

New Englanders who visit Canada,
as many OF them do and as more of
them should, will be glad to Learn
that the Dominion is about to mint a
new one piece which, the Off
Gals say, will be slightly larger and
somewhat thinner than the Decent
piece which Canada now has, and
which is a twin of the United States
dime. This description indicates that
the new cent will be OF the SIZE Of
that common in this country
This will relieve the Yankee visitors
of the physical labor and mental
anguish attendant upon filling their
pockets with the immense cents
which Canada has hitherto produced
and which must have contributed
much to the scarcity of copper and
alloys containing copper now noticed
IN America. They were l1uchs too
large, for with a dozen of tflenr on
his person the tourist felt over
loaded; with 8, hundred he was ad-
mirably equipped for suicide. by
drowning. Nothing more exasperat-
ing in the way of coins of little value
could be thought or except : the
minute silver scent piece which
Canada continues to issue.
To retire the mammoth cent is GER
tainly step in the right direction.

Just received from President Woodrow
Wilson, now in Paris, has been sent
to the Rev. DR.. Sherman L. Divine,
chairman of the intermountain branch
with headquarters at 546 Peyton

forth that the $100,000,000 asked of
congress is entirely apart from the

ian drive.
The cable follows: 1.-THE appropria-
ton Of congress for handling food re-
lief is not intended, in any way, to
take the place Of the subscription be-

Our Allies in the Near East
By CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

Probably at no time in the history of the world
nave there been SO many fatherless and mother
less children as there today. Tens of thous-
ands, probably hundreds of thousands in Ar
menla, Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Palestine are not only without parents but
are without any strong parental government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children of other lands enjoy
American ConsulS and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Relief in the Near
East, almost daily regarding the situation One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for
the support OF 10000 children at an average
expense of two dollars per month per child
Another from Tiflis reports 10000 children in
one region waiting for an answer to previous
cabiegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions Among the
many appeals it is possible for this committee to
assume responsibility for only the most pressing
cases, and it is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention of the American peo-
pie. Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in other lands but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charity. It is the duty
of Americans, as we'll as a privilege to respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia has developed
All expenses of administration for this relief
are privately met SO that every dollar sent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing food and supplies for the needy Who
according to the best advices and from audited
reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent
them
Out of the horror and nightmare through
which these people have passed comes the crafty
ing word that we can be of assistance; that our
efforts will prove awaiting and that we can share
with these orphan children the bounty which we,
as Americans, have enjoyed for years. The work
done by this committee has been most unselfish
and effective under conditions of great personal
sacrifice. May America respond to their appeals.

The food administration has sem
kilograms to state federal food admin
istrators asking them to request all
county food administrators to lend
their support to the Armenian fund
in every way possible.
In his appeal at the opening of the
campaign, which runs from January
IL to 10, Rev. Divine said: 1.-THE appeal
for relief of the starving and home
less people of the near east is a most
worthy one. These Armenians,
Syrians and Asia Minor Greeks have
paid terrible price for their loyalty
to their convictions. Practically all
men of military age have been ruth
lessly slaughtered; their women have
been subjected to torture and vilest
indignities; their children, four hun
dred thousand of them orphaned, are
as outcast dogs in city streets and
country highways. The American COM
mittee for relief in the near east is
the only agency covering this field and
to this people The Amer
lean Red Cross has Endorsed the work
by contributing over $4,000,000 during
the past year, and commencing in
highest terms the efficiency and con-
structive character of our work.
