America Their Only
+ Hope
~
By CHARLES ]. ROSEBAULT
of The TigiLanfes

From far-away Asia comes a cry
for help addressed to the wide world.
1t is cry made up of many voices.
1t issues from the desert lands of
Arabia, from the mountains of the
Russian Caucasus, from the highways
and byways of Turkey, of Mesopo-
tania, of the Holy Land. The indi-
viduals who make up the great mass
from which comes this call to the civ
ilized world are scattered far and
wide. 1t includes four hundred thou
sand children in towns and cities and
villages or hiding like frightened rab-
bits In such shelters as they can find
In the open country; women, most of
them gray and beyond the years of
loneliness, and others looking from
behind barred windows of the prisons
called harems; old men and men dis
abled, and a few men still in the
prime of life but hidden in mountains
and obscure places.
All these are joining in the cry that
comes to us across the fertile lands
and the deserts of Asia, the war-torn
countries Of Europe, the vast Atlantic
and across our own great continent
to the very ends thereof. 1t is sad
cry, an agonized cry, made up Of the
treble of children, the soft voices of
women, the harsh bass of men and,
mighty as Is the mass of it, rising
from four million threats, yet has it
the ring of exhaustion, the frenzy of
To the attentive ear it
says: This is the end if help comes
not soon, we will call no more-for
the end will have come for US.
America Must Respond.
Particularly is this appeal directed
to America-the one great country
which is prosperous because it en-
tered the war only comparatively re-
Gently and has had to bear only
small part of the cost of keeping the
world safe for democracy. 1t is Amer
lea which must respond-immediately
and without stint. Later on there
will be time to consider fastening this
cost upon the responsible parties In
the form of stern demands for repara-
ton and indemnity. There is no time
for considering the call of justice
now. One does not think first of pun
Ishing the assailant when one sees his
victim bleeding on the pavement.
If America could only visualize the
terrible situation Here are four mill
lion victims of Turkish villainy and
under the guidance of Prus-
sian efficiency" Here are husband
ess wives and fatherless children.
Never mind the dead men-more than
, million of them, at the least. They

The
Living Monument
4.
By GEORGE BARR Nc CUTCHEON
of The Viglonfes

| In the little Connecticut town OF
Norfolk there is triangular piece OF
ground belonging to the people. For
years 1t stood useless, almost aban-
doned, and to certain extent I'M
noticed. Norfolk sent to France early
In 1918 score and a half Of her boys
to fight with the American armies.
Other boys followed and still more in
due course were called from the small
but hardy class representing the fight
ing quota.
A few months after the first contin-
gent marched out of the town on its
way to the training camp and thence
, to the line of battle, Norfolk began TO
receive it's share of tidings from the
front. Names of boys known to every
one In the town were found in the lists
of those "killed in action" Boys whose
faces were bright and shining and
whose voices were strong and CHEEKY
were never to return. They were lying
In the fields of France, covered with
the earth of France, and over the
graves Of each stood the small but
noble cross Of wood bearing a name
and a date.
The return of these names to Nor
folk instead Of flesh and blood that
went away, gave Norfolk its inspira-
ton. The little green triangle became
tract Of glory. No more will 1t be
looked upon as waste, no more will
the people Of Norfolk call it worth
less bit of ground. For some one
thought Of a way to make 1t rich;
some one thought Of way to make it
the most cherished spot in Norfolk.
Tree for Each Hero.
On Flag day In the year that the
war made heroes Of these lads from
Norfolk the people Of that place dedi-
Gated the point of this triangle to the
Of those who were not to come
back from France. At that time four
Of Norfolk's boys were lying In
France under cheap little crosses OF
wood, and on this day four little
crosses Of wood similar to those in
France, with a name and a date on
each, were driven In the ground at
the point of the triangle, and there
they will stay until they are perhaps
replaced by more enduring and Inn
oressive marks Of tribute. But the lit
tie crosses of wood are not all that |
the people Of Norfolk placed in the
village triangle In memory Of the boys
Who will not come back. Something

are gone and. though their blood cr,es
to heaven for vengeance. this Is not
the time for thought of that. We have
done but a poor Job In this war II
we do not help its helpless victims.
And who are these victims? Mostly
Christians, like the great majority Of
Americans - Christians who have
could have saved their lives, the lives
and the honor of their wives and
daughters, their homes and their pros
perity by denying Christ and accepting
Mahomet. They have been the most
intelligent, the most orderly and the
most industrious inhabitants of the
Ottoman empire. They were relying
upon the Christians of Europe and
America to protect them when the
avalanche of murderous persecution
burst upon them. They are relying
upon Christian America above all to
save their exhausted and starving
remnants now.
Thoroughly Organized Appeal.
The chance for the American TO do
his bit towards thwarting the fiend-
ish Turco-Prussian policy of EXTERN
mating the Christian Armenians, Sy-
rians and Arabs comes in the $4,000
900 drive between January u and 10.
There will be thoroughly organized
appeal all over the United States. 1t
is supported by the president and by
the Red Cross. 1t is conducted by the
generous and high-minded citizens
who are members of the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, and who are not only donat-
ing their time and services but are
seeing to it that every cent donated
shall reach the actual sufferers, all
the expenses of administration being
already provided by private subsGip-
ton. 1t would be n slur upon the
American nation TO believe that the
fund will not be promptly secured. It
would be unbelievable that any Amer
lean could deny this appeal and sleep
of nights.

Railroad supersedes Camel.

The modern Ethiopian travels from

city of the Philistines In Old Tesla

For each hero tree was planted, and
it will always be known as his tree,
by his name; and long after the great
grandchildren of those who now live
In Norfolk are dead and gone, these
trees will still be standing and they
will be known through all the sunshine
and storm Of the ages to come by the
Ing.
A Fine Example.
The thought is a beautiful one. That
little triangle in Norfolk will have
many trees and crosses, the boys who
died in France will live and grow to an
age far beyond the years of the oldest
of men. The "John Perkins Elm" or
the Henry Smith Oak" as the case
may be, will be living in Norfolk 200
years after the day on which they
were so lovingly named by forgotten
generation.
And how simple, how easy this way
of concentrating the deeds and the
spirit of the boys who went forth to
the war never to come home again. A
little cross of wood for the present, a
towering tree for the future, and the
name of hero preserved for an age
to come.
What better example could be set
for the rest of the country than this
beautiful act of the people of Norfolk
Why not in every community, plot Of
hal,owed ground with its trees bearing
the names of the boys who went out
and did not come back2 A living
green and spreading with
the years, to stand as guardian over
the memory Of him who fell In battle;
not the artificial product Of man, but
he incomprehensible handiwork OF
God who first put life into the body
Of the boy whose death dignifes the
that lost him.

GERMAN MARIN

Hemos tenido ell gusto de recibir EN-
esta redaccion la vista del senior Ger
man Marin, quien nos ha manifestado
que son err6neos los informes dados
por LA Correspondence" en- su edi-
cion del martes.
Marin dice que el no ha sido puesto
bajo fianza nj ha sido procesado por la
Corte Federal.
German Marin nacio en- Venezuela
y siempre ha viajado con pasaporte ex-
pedido por el gobierno de aquella Re
publica, cumpliendo durante su perma-
nencia en- los Estados Unidos Puerto
Rico con todos los reglamentos mill
tareS.
Al separar pasaje en- la New York
and Porto Rico S. S. Co." para venir
a Puerto Rico, su nombre fue include,
por error de los empleados encargados
del negociado de pasajes, en- la lista de
ciudadanos americanos, siendo el Sub
ditto venezolano.
Al desembarcar Marin a Puerto Rico
fue detenido por las autoridades por
no haber nenado convenientemente los
requisites indispensables cuando aleg6
su exencion del Servicio Militar.
Despues de haberse practicable una
investigation ante ell comisionado de la
corte Federal, Mr.. Frazer, los docu-
mentos de Marin fueron examinados Y
encontrados absolutamente dentro de
la ley como s1bdito venezolano, su
case fue resuelto embellishments sin
tener que prestar fianza nj concurrir
ante ninguna corte.
Marin embarcara para Nueva York
el % del corriente, y hace constar a sus
amigos que todo fu6 un simple error en-
ell cual el no tuvo culpabilidad alguna.
