now exist. have been spared that.
But the reports which have been
brought in by agents of the Near East
Relief and by representatives of the
Peace Conference paint picture OF
wretchedness inconceivable to those
who have not first hand impression
Of the savasery of the Mussulman.
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, 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-"filthy inf
dels" to the Turk-were good cEOugt
to exert their poor might in our be-
half while the war was still in the
balance. Massacres of a half century
had not 50 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-
ton in his own personal affairs to ex-
clu,le consideration Of his neighbOr's
well beng. No honorable man can
knowingly allow his neighbor to hun
