SELL CHILDREN TO SAVE
THEM

Women are selling their chill
dren to save them from starvation
according to a recent report re-
ceived from Persia. The report
follows:
Typhoid and typhus are ter
ribly prevalent. The camels who
bring in our bags of rice kneel
down and eat greedily the raw
grains that leak out of the sacks.
Women who get rice eat some
of it raw. A laborer came in two
days ago and said: Please give
me some rice to chew. I am so
weak. have had nothing since
last night. I get thirty cents a
day and 7 have a wife and chill.
dren. My wages will only buy a
pound and a half of bread. I am
faint with hunger. He got a
handful of rice and put some into
his mouth and commenced to
chew while he dug feebly with his
shovel. r.. -F

RELIEF WORKERS FOLLOW
ARMY

considerable difficulty has been
experienced by myself and others, who
were interested in the fate of the Ar
menian peoples, with the Ottoman
authorities. who prevented the dis
tribution of relief among the sufferers
by foreigners" declared Henry Nor
genthau, former ambassador to Tur-
key, a few days ago.
The opposition was at first very
strong, so that our consuls and mis-
slonaries could render only clandes-
tine help to the needy people. The
Turks insisted that l should turn
over the funds to them and that they
would see to their proper distribu-
ton. | emphatically refused on the
ground that the donors would not au-
thorize me to do that The attitude
OF the Turkish government, however,
was later modified and our workers
are able to reach the victims eyery-
where. Their ability to save lives is
limited only by the amount of relief
funds placed at their disposal"
With the war now at an end, the
relief workers are following the Brit
1sh and French armies of occupation
into the Ottoman empire and are con-
tinuing their relief work among the
refugees left in the towns. British
and French military men are assisting
the American relief workers.
British and French military leaders
IN the occupied territory of Turkey
have stated to their governments as |
well as to the United States govern
ment that the American Committee
for Relief in the Near East, because of
its complete organization and work.
ers, who are familiar with the LAM
guage and habits of the peoples, is
best. prepared to conduct relief work
among the suffering people.

THE PEOPLES OF WESTFpn
d ASIA NN
The Armenians

Armenia was the first nation to EN-.
brace Christianity as a national r..
Iligion. Apostles Thaddeus and Bar.
tholomew preached the gospel ther.
The Armenian Church has had la
Pontiffs in unbroken succession
whose seat, since 309, with Occasional
transfers elsewhere has been at Ftch'
miadzin, the Great Monastery in Rus.
sian Armenia.
Of the estimated 100000 Ar.
menians lin 1879 100000 lived Il
Turkey, about 100000 in Russian
Armenia, and the remainder were
scattered over the world.
In Turkey, despite the oppressive
and obstructive rule, the Armenians
have been one of the principal Cor.
structive forces.
The Syria.
Syria occupies a strategic position
in the map of the old world, being
connecting link, a bridge, as it were
between Europe, Asia and Africa.
Syria is the birthplace OF two Mono
theistic religions-Judaism and Chri-
tianity, and is closely related to the
