"They Shall Not Perish"

President Wilson has asked all
Americans to rally generously to the
support of the Committee for Relief
in the Near East, whose campaign
comes 1919.
The need is urgent. Four million
refugee women and children, the vic
tins of Turkish lust and brutality,
are starving and dying.
There is only one possible source
of help-America. The other ma
tions of the world can scarce bind
up their own wounds. Upon what
we do-you and depend the lives
of these millions Of helpless women
and children. They must not perish
they shall not perish.
Five dollars will keep the breath
of life in one of these destitute
people a month. Be ready to say
what you will do when the solicitor
calls.
Rev. Charles K. Tracy, Field Sec
rotary, will speak in the R. R. Y. M.
c. A., on this work in the Far East,
Thursday evening at o'clock.

IN THEIR LAST LONG SLEEP
Beautiful Spot In Which Have Bc.n
Laid American Soldiers Who
Died in liberty's Cause.

On the wooded slope of steep hill
that rises high over a great bend in
the River Seine lies a little plot Of
earth that Is as much America as Is
the national cemetery at Arlington or
the hallowed ground Of Gettysburg. It
is a quiet and peaceful spot, for al
though Paris is near-the slender pin.
nacle of the Eiffel tower Is in plain
view over the trees-the city Is sepa-
rated from the American cemetery at
Surnesnes by the green expanse of
the Bots de Boulogne. The heart of
the city that is the heart Of the world
is not five miles away; you would
think 1t at least fifty. 1t is a spot far
removed from war, and yet there are
enough Of the accoutrements of war
about 1t to remind the visitor that the
700 graves here are the graves Of SOL
diers-mostly of soldiers who died Of
their wounds on the journey In from
the front or at one Of the hospitals in
or near the capital. Further up the
slope frown the ramparts Of the fort
Of Mount Valerien, one in the chain
Of defenses that surround Paris. Dur
ing hostilities planes flew from field to
field, the drone Of their motors never
so clear as In this quiet countryside.
And more warlike still, an occasional
cannon shot echoed from testing
ground In the neighborhood. The lit
tie cemetery itself, with its we'll
aligned rows Of white wooden crosses,
will some day be as green and fair
Gods acre as any in France. 1t Is
becoming so as fast as the loving
hands Of the living can convert 1t into
one. Even in these fresh fall days,
the graves are all abloom, and hardy
shrubs add a touch Of somber beauty
to the little corners and round points.
