Year by year thelr SuTcrlnEs nave 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-"tilthy 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 d half century had not so broken their spirit that they dared not fight for right and for democracy when justice was the issue We accepted their aid then. Surely we shall not pass them by without compassion now.
 The day has passed when any self respecting man dares permit absorp- tiOn in his own personal affairs to eX- clude consideration of his neighbours well being. No honorable man can knowingly allow his neighbor to hun ger or to go unclOthed. The Christian peoples of the Near East are our neighbOrs. The money needed to re- lieve them can be spared without causing any man, woman or child in the United States to suffer.
 Must Not Rest on Past.
 In other years of our own free will we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our schools and colleges and hospitals have played a wonderful role in hu- manizing that dark spot in the world. Our ideas, our educational resources, our material equipment, have been leaven in the Near East. Because we have done well in times past we have this great opportunity for the present.
 The ArmenianS have been treated as perhaps no people in history have been treated because they are the spiritual brothers of western races.
 Will America help them? There can be but one answer. Their neces- sity is dire, but our power is great We are wealthy. We are a member of the family of nations. Our brothers call us. Food, clothes, money, are i'm mediately wanted. If ever unmerited suffering called for succor the plight of the Armenians should be needed now. A few months more and it may be relief will be too late for those whom only we can save. We shall not fail them.

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 reach cd 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- tiOns 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 Orphanage. Since that time the death rate has been greatly reduced. Given good food and care the children are quickly returning to normal physical and mental condition.
 It is estimated by persons who have made survey of Armenia that 12OOOO children will die during the next year unless they are given food and care. Near East Relief is the only Organf- 1atiOn now operating in Western Asia and it is making an appeal to save these Christian children.

GERMANS BUY FOOD
FROM u. s. ARMY

COBLENZ- Civilians in the Ameri-
can occupied areas Of Germany have
bought nearly 100000 marks worth
If food daily from the United States
army supplies. The amount sold to-
tails 100000 marks. Germans in
Treves and Coblenz have organized a
non-profit association which deals with
The inter-alied military commission on
food, the supplies being distributed to
the consumer through the retailers
who are allowed limited profit on all
sales.
Such staples as bacon, rice and
canned milk were sold at first. Later
when thousands of American soldiers
were homeward bound, the commission
opened certain army stores to the Ger
mans, owing to the fact that there
was more food than the army had use
for.
Much of the food is brought to the
occupied area from the army depots
in France, the Germans buying at a
small profit to the American army
plus the transportation charges from
the United States.

CAR WRECKED; LADIES HURT

From Pittsville Record
The Ed. Clack car was overturned
between here and Babcock, near the
Scott place, Tuesday forenoon and as
result Mrs. John Ebbe and Miss
Ethel Clack were both hurt seriously
enough so that the attentions of a
physician were needed. Mrs. Ebbe
was bruised about the shoulder and
arm and Miss Clack got bad cut on
the knee
Others in the car were Lael Ebbe
and Cloie Barto Neither was hurt.
The party were going BURBERRY pick
ing in the Clack car with Miss Ethel
Clack driving. At the place where
the car was wrecked the road is in
poor shape, deep ruts having been
gouged out by the immense traffic of
berry pickers. In getting out of one
of these ruts the driver pulled the
steering wheel too shortly, starting
the car for the ditch. Another pull
the other way with the car slanted
toward the ditch overturned the car.
The car rolled over on it's top and the
occupants were pinned within. Their
position might have been serious but
for the timely assistance of autoists
,coming along at that time who helped
the ladies eXtricate themselves from
underneath the car. The car is badly
damaged, especially the top and wind
shield, and the occupants can feel
mighty lucky that they escaped as
they did.
