DEAD OF STARVATION
10000 PERSONS PERISH IN PER
SIAN CAPITAL ALONE.
Has Lost Nearly Half Its Entire Popu
lation, and Nation Suffers for
Remaining Neutral While
Turkish Threatened

People all over Persia are falling
dead as fast as autumn leaves from
the trees 10000 persons have died in
the past year in Teheran alone from
starvation and the diseases which fol-
low malnutritiOn. Unless help on a
large scale is prompt, the entire cOun-
try will be threatened, is the substance
of unofficial letters just received by
Mira Ali Kuli Khan, ND, Persian
Charge d'Affaires to the United States.
In making this information public,
DR.. Khan stated, "The Persian Gov
eminent has not officially asked for
help This is not an official appeal for
help for my cOuntrymen. AS a human
being, however, my conscience com
pels me to call to the attention Of the
generous American public that nay
country-men are facing the prospects
Of the coming winter with shudder.
At the time the letters were written
thousands lof dead awaited burial at
Teheran"

sentative of the American Committee

ing a great service with the 100000 a
month which is sent him, but this
does not begin to meet the need.
Workers, food and medical supplies
must Immediately be sent to Persia on
a large scale if the cradle of the white
mans civilization is to be saved from
utter ruin. 1t is for Persia as well as
Armenia that a $30,O00,O00 campaign
is now in progress.
In light of the fact that Persia has
rendered great service to the allied
cause by remaining neutral, and that
now famine and plague threaten to
wipe her out of existence, DR.. Khan
was asked what part his country
might take in the coming peace con
ference, but on this he only said
'"That will be settled later. Now, how.
ever, my poor starving, plague strick
en- country must be helped. AS con
sequence of the War, Persia's com
merce has suffered seriously. The
government and leading people have
done their utmost to relieve the stu
alton but without further aid, food
and medical supplies, the coming win
ter will cut off large sections of the
surviving population"

FOOD SCARCE; PRICES
RISE IN TURK CAPITAL

The urgent need for immediate out
side aid to the starving and destitute
peoples of the Near East is empha-
sized in a recent report received from
the Ottoman Empire by DR.. William
w. Peet, of Washington, d. c., repre-.
sentative of the American COMMITTEES
for Relief in the Near East formerly
the Armenian and Syrian Relief).
The report states that, owing to adj
vance of food prices in Constantinople
to twenty times above those obtain
ing before the war, food supplies will
have to be purchased in the United
States. The abandonment Of the ra
ton of cheap bread which the gov
eminent issued during the war, neces
STATED by the Reorganization of the
railroads in Asia, has also increased
the need of immediate aid to keeI
refugees from starving.
The following cable, received from
Teheran by DR.. Peet, shows the urg
ency Of their need.
'Two hundred thousand refugees
are outside the Caucasus. Those from
Salinas and Van number 10000
Those, now in Hamadan, from Baku
number 10000. The soldiers have
evacuated Petrowsk and Enzelle
They will be transported to Armenia
There is great need of relief from
some source for the repatriation OF
refugees and orphans. 1t is very nee
essary that the troops for the occupa
ton of the six Vilayets be increased
The Armenians even in the Caucasus
are in great need of medicines and
clothing. Relief can be sent via Ba
toun for the refugees

Correspondent Finds Little
Tendency to Blame Senate

LONDON. December 3.-Authorita-
tive assurances as to what will be the
attitude of the leading British states
men toward the American Senates
reservations directing the league of
nations covenant cannot be obtained
to believe that these officials will ap-
proach such reservations as the SEN
ate may vote in a broad, trustful
spirit. That Il good many of the most
tOrceful men in the cabinet will do so
is beyond doubt. Some first-rate stu
dents of the situation predict that
the allies will be only too glad to well
come America into the league on her
own terms.
1t is an amazing fact that some of
the most famous statesmen in Europe
appear to have negotiated with Presi-
dent Wilson in Paris asif the Consti-
tuition Of the United States did not ex-
list. There is no evidence that it en-
tered their heads at the conference in
the French capital nor that they
thought of it until confronted with
the actual temporary defeat of the
covenant in Washington. These men.
though they have democracy on their
lips almost daily. seem to cling to the
ideas of the old diplomacy. Confident
that they could commit the British
parliament and people as they liked.
they assumed that President Wilson
Souii w iihc"lSe Win lHc american
people. They are getting seemingly
their first lessons in American con-
stitutional procedure. and in the devo-
ton of Americans to the theory and
practice of democratic sovereignty.
Some of them. though only a few.
take these lessons with ill-concealed
Impotence. But they will take them.
nevertheless because. there is Moth
ing else for it. Enlightened men and
women in England. both in the gov
eminent and out of it. are coming to
see that the movement for reserva-
tionS does not owe it's vitality wholly
to resentment against President Will
sons manners and methods, nor even
mainly to these, but that it springs
chiefly from the determination of the
American people to keep control of
their affairs. both national and inter-
national.
1t is most generally felt. and I be-
lieve among the working masses uni
versally felt. that America will do
more for the world by jealousy
guarding the forms which preserve
the essence of her democracy than by
taking any step in the direction of
empowering ENJOYS or officials of any
sort to go off into conference cham
bers and commit the American people
in matters touching their lives. for
tunes and honor. America will enter
the league, but she will enter it and
behave in it as her people dictate.
This is the view of the best English
opinion, which approves this course.

Former President William Howard

day. Endorsed the Red Cross Christ
mas seal sale. which began Monday.
re calls upon the people of the United
states 70 support the campaign from
the Platform, the pulpit, the teach
ers desk and from the stage. He
urges. that the lesson of fresh air,
nutritious food and of proper care
ana rest be brought home to the peo-
pie OF America as the best remedy
for tuberculosis prevention. He says
in part:
Tuberculosis is a kind of subma-
rine warfare and we must attack it
in return for it's attack on US. We
must drive it from the tenements. the
factories and the schools as we drove
the submarine from the deep. We can
best do this by preventive and edu-
cat1onal measures, and l heartily ap
prove of the national tuberculosis
campaign. both educational and finan-
cial.
II hope that the campaign to finance
the community tuberculosis work of
the country by the sale of Christmas
seals will prove successful to the
highest degree, for the funds realized
by this sale enable the tuberculosis
nurses to discover the early cases, to
give them treatment, thereby remov-
ing them from being a menace and a
danger to the whole community"

FRANCE SOLVES PROBLEM
OF SYNTHETIC AMMONIA

PARIS, December 3.-The industrial J.,
use of pressure above a thousand at
mosphereS in the production of synthetic
ammonia, something never accomplished
heretofore except by the Germans, is
promised in paper read before the
Academy of Science by Prof. George
Claude.
Prof. Claude told the members of the
academy that in the near future he
would show them a small installation.
capable of producing 200 liters (212
quarts) of liquid ammonia daily He
declared he was able to get twenty
times as much ammonia from the sam,
amount of primary matter as was pro-
duced by the method of the German
chemist.
