Arizona republican., 1919-02-09

Save life! Monday morning, the 10th. the great triple dive which will give the people of Arizona real op- Vortunity to save life will be on.
 one hundred and fifty thousand dol lars Is the quota of the state. $30,0OO is Maricopa countys portion. of which s.0.O00 must bo raised in the city of Phoenix
 The United Drive for Relief in the Near East, which has for its purpose the raising of this money for the re- lief and rehabilitation of War-stricken Armenians. Jews Syrians. Greeks and other sufferers Of eastern Europe and western Asia, was established in state headquarters at Phoenix four weeks ago. with David Goldberg as state chairman and Charles r. Willis, state director.
 This movement has the endorsement Of President Wilson. Herbert Hoover and Henry F. Davidson. president of the American Red Cross. It does not interfere with or overlap the relief work of any other organization.
 This is clearly indicated in a spe- cial proclamation issued by President Wilson which reads as follows:
 A9dln make NPPSdi
 For more than three years Ameri- can philanthropy has been a large fac tor in keeping alive Armenian, Syrian, Greek. Jew and other eNiles and refugees of western Asia.
 "On two former occasions I have appealed to the American people and the response has been most generous but now the period of rehabilitation is at hand. Vastly larger sums will be required to restore these once prosper ous. but now impoverished, refugees to their former homes than were re- quired merely to sustain life in ther desert exile.
 "I therefore, again call upon the people of the United States to make even more generous contributions thaI they have made heretofore to sustain through the winter months those, who through no fault of their own. hay, been left in a starving shelterless con- dition. and to help re establish thes' ancient and sorely oppressed people 1T their former homes on a salf-support ing basis"
 Herbert Hoover also is taking keel interest in the rehabilitation of thes' peoples, as will be noted by the fol lowing cable:
 Hoover Adds Plea
 The world relief program now be ing developed by the United States ant the allies contemplatcs that whereve possible relief work will be finance' by the countries affected through tn medium of loans or other governmen assistance Nevertheless distress am suffering exists in many areas wher payment for relief supple scannot b made.
 These charity cases will stil urgently need private benevolenct This is the situation with regard { the Armenians, Jews, Syrians an persians. There is probably no grcate suffering today than among the perse cuted peoples of Asia Minor. who hay no funds and cannot secure govern ment loans and have no credit. lt to aid this distressing situation tha Nour committee is making its appeal tho generosity of the American peopl With your financing accomplishe your committee representing thes stricken peoples can come under th direction Of the new inter allied worl relief organization and will receive q co-operation in the purchasing an shipment of supplies.
 Arrangements are now being mad Co ssxign one complete flour care now enroute for southern Europe the order of your committee and fun ther supplies will shortly be allotted you by the inter -allied committee { soon as we are assured that the ne' cssary finances have been provided"
