one Of the oldest Of all the Chris.
tian reoples OF the earth. That is the
Armenians. They live in a province
that lies TO the eastward Of Asia
Minor, west OF Persia and to the south
OF the Black Sea.
1t is, or would be, a beautiful coun-
try, one Of earth's oldest regions. It
has been under the dominion Of the
Turk for a very long time and what
the Turk touches he p]ollutes and de.
strOys. Despite the Turkish rule and
the constantly recurring massacres
and prosecutions Armenia was enc of
the tairest parts Of the Turkish En-
pire. The Armenians made Of it a
wonderful agricultural country, a gar
den Of the Near East. The land was
fertile and the sheltered valleys have
a wonderful climate.
Armenians have been hated by the
Turks from the beginning. The Mos
lem hated them because they were in
dustrious and prosperous and he hated
with a hatred that occasionally famed
into murder, loot and rape. When
the Great War came and Turkey
threw in her lot with the Germans,
the Turk saw a chance to forever rid
his empire of the Armenians.

were driven into deep rivers, others
were driven into the heart Of the des-

Greeks, and the Jews of Western Asia
the Turks followed the same plan.
Millions OF people died.
II the survivors are not to perish
utterly from the earth America must
give to keep them alive. That is why
America is being asked to give for
their aid. That is who the Armenians
are and that is something Of good.
