START DRIVE FEB. IS
FOR NEAR EAST FUND

The week of February 16 to %, in
elusive, has been selected for the
drive to raise Washington's quota of
s150,G00 toward the thirty million
dollar relief fund for the starving
people of the near east.
Announcement to this effect was
made last night by Gregory Doyle OF
the American committee for relief III
the near east, which is conducting
the nationwide campaign.
Headquarters for the local cam
paign have been opened at 1886 New
York avenue northwest, and an
nouncement will be made as rapidly
as possible of the personnel of the
local committees now being Or
ganized. Prominent citizens of the
city have signified their willingness
to serve. and 1t is the intention to
make the appointments in such way
as to carry the appeal to every sec
ton of the city and to every element.
Emphasis will be laid on the fact
that the purpose for which the
thirty million-dollar fund is being
raised will in no way be met by the
appropriation of Sl00,000,000 which
the American government proposes to
make for relief work in Europe. With
regard to the latter, the money is
to be advanced in loans to the Bel
gian, Serbian and other governments
for use in relieving distress among
their peoples. The 100000 is to
be distributed in gifts of food and
clothing among destitute populations
in the near east, such as Armenians
and Syrians, who can look for aid in
no other direction. For this reason
both the American government and
the American Red Cross have off,
cial1y Endorsed the thirty-million-
dollar campaign.
Leaders of various national colored
organizations. in conference here in
CONNECTION with the national cam
paign. have agreed to cooperate in
the local drive through their
branches in this city. At this con-
ference were representatives of the
federal colored women's clubs, repre-
senting 1900 local organizations
throughout the United States; the
women's auxiliary to the national
Baptist convention, representing
$1,000 local missionary societies of
the country; and the Home and
Foreign Missionary Society OF the
Afro Methodist, Episcopal and the
Afro Episcopal Zion churches. DR..
A. c. Garner was appointed to
organize the colored churches of the
District of Columbia for the coming
