DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks, Because of lack of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these institu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty a day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge Of the o%rphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and are
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made a survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
Near East Relief is the only organl-
cation now operating in Western Asia
and it is making an appeal to save
these Christian children.

where nearly a million people are
suffering from disease and starvation.
Miss Andrees had returned to this
country after serving for the Red
Cross, but when she read of the sad
plight of the Armenians, she at once
offered her services to Near East Re
lief, the former American Committee
on Armenian and Syrian Relief, which
already has saved thousands Of lives
in Western Asia. Miss Andrees is the
only American woman war worker
who was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal by Congress. Most of
the other members of her party like
wise served with honor for the Red
Cross and other war service organi-
cations.
Among the other members of the
group are the Misses Frances and
Betty Anderson of New Canaan, Coun.,
who were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre by the French Government;
Miss Margaret Milne of Washington,

member of the party, is a daughter
of the lase Ethelbert Nevin, the COM
poser.
Col. William N. Haskell, commits
sloner to the Near East for the Paris
Peace Commission and official repre-
sentative of the Near East Relief, has
cabled that the relief workers now In
the field are overwhelmed by the mag
nitude of their task. Col. Haskell says
100000 ArmeDians will starve before
the next harvest unless they are given
aid and 10000 orphan children face
death from hunger and exposure.
Thousands of refugees are daily be-
ing brought to the relief centers from
the deserts.

a Few DOn'fS
for Christmas

Don't court indigestion.
Don't grumble, whatever you do.
Don't half fill the kiddies' stockings
Don't give presents which will be
useless.
Don't forget the mistletoe. Romance
still lives.
Don't forget that it ought to be a
merry Christmas.
Don't deny the little ones ideas
about Santa Claus.
Don't worry about unpaid bills-at
any rate until tomorrow.
Don't scott at the lingering super
stitions of the good old days.
Don't for the show of things, buy
presents which you can't afford.
Don't expect too many presents.
Take what you get and be thankful.
Don't, if you get up on your wrong
side, make everybody else miserable.
Don't forget to think at least once
during the day what Christmas really
means.
Don't give a present unless you want
to. Better not give at all than give IN
sincerely.
Don't forget that the giving OF
Christmas boxes, like charity, should
begin at home.
Don't, If you are a girl, stand under
the mistletoe until you see the right
chap approaching.
Don't kiss somebody else's best girl.
even though she is under the mistle-
toe. There might be a row.
Don't work on Christmas day If You
can avoid it. If you have to, however.
don't make a song about it.
Don't give Johnnie a trumpet and
Peter a whistle and expect to have a
quiet time. It's unreasonable.
Don't put off buying presents until
the last minute. You'll get better value
and avoid the crush if you shop early.
Don't send an electric %runabout to a
freezing widow with five starving chill
dren. This is like throwing a rope OF
pearls to a drowning man.
Don't look panied when somebody
tells a f~fty-year-old Christmas story.
That's one of the unavoidable circum-
stances of the festive season.
Don't give a new song to some one
who doesn't sing; but be still more
certain that you don't give a new song
to some one who imagines he can sing.
Don't refrain from giving because
you can't afford to give much. The in
trinsic value OF a gift counts for moth
ing. It is the thought which prompts
it that matters.
Don't let the wife give you a Christ
mas present in the form of cigars. II
she persists in doing so, don't smoke
them-give them away again, without
letting her know about 1t, of course.

ExiIed From Homes.
Since the beginning of the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
exiles from their farms, deprived Of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, a year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life of nomads, able to continue TO
keep alive only by virtue of American
philanthropy.
These homeless people-"ilthy inf
dels' TO the Turk-were good enough
to exert their poor might in our be-
half while the war was still in the
balance. Massacres of a half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
