MANY GIVING
To ARMENIANS
Sunday Schools Contribute
TO Relief of Children
in Near East
THOUSANDS DIE
FOR WANT OF FOOD

Sunday school students Of Whining
ton are interested in the emergency
Christmas appeal sought by the Near
East Committee for immediate relief in
Armenia. The committee has issued let
ters asking for aid at this time and the
response has been splendid so far.
Some OF the Sunday school classes are
planning TO switch the benefac.ors OF
their benevOlences this Christmas and
instead Of making a present TO teacher
are going TO give the money that would
have gone into such a gift TO The Near
East fund. J. II Burns, who is I'm charge
OF the Near East special fund this
Christmas among the Sunday schools,
reports that he has obtained upwards
Of $500 from various schools. An ltal-
ian Sunday school that had planned to
make Christmas happy for a group Of
unfOrtunates here, have changed their
plans and will give SO TO The Near East
fund. All Of the expenses OF the Christ
mas appeal are being borne by private
philanthrOpsts, so that every penny
contributed goes directly abroad TO help
the hundreds Of thousands Of starving
and destitute Armenians.
There are a number Of Armenians in
Wilmington and these are remembering
their less fortunate fellow-countrymen
and are subscribing literally to their
help.
Showing how deeply some have been
touched by the appeal, was indicated in
a letter that came TO headquarters in
the Church Building yesterday. The
letter read as follows:
Enclosed you will find five dollars
for the Near East relief I will not be
able to subscribe largely, as l am a
widow with three small children, but
IL the five dollars will be Of any benefit
in helping 10 feed one little child, l
give Il gladly, in memory OF my little
boy who died four months ago.
There are 100000 persons who will
have TO die for want Of food and cloth
ing In Armenia before relief raised in
this country can reach them, but the
five dollars given by the loving mother
noted above will help feed some Of the
children Of 10000 other Armenians,
whom 10 IS possible TO save now.
Mrs. Eugene A. Ellis is acting secre-
tary at headquarters Of the Delaware
committee in the Church Building, and
all checks and contributions should be
mailed or brought TO the headquarters
so that a receipt may be given.

grRECHT. Holland. Dec. i9.-The
story Of the exile lives Of former
Kaiser Wilhelm Of Germany, and Crown
Prince Frederick Wilhelm is one Of
contrasts. For one who has not had the
opportunity TO study the surroundings
of both. IL is impossible to imagine
how little the crown prince has, and
how much the kaiser has, in cOmpari-
son. And still The wing-clippod war
eagle OF q fallen empire does not enjoy
those things which make life worth
living-liberty Of movement and lib
erty OF speech.
Many years ago one Of the popular
songs was entitled, She's only Bird
in a Gilded Cage" And so it is with
the kaiser. lie reminds one very much
Of the eagle in its great cage I'm the
zoo. Proud and defiant, he lives his
lonesome life. The kaiser meets an
acquaintance now and then, takes an
occasional walk or automobile ride,
saws wood and sends souvenirs Of his
labor 10 his friends, but he still is
merely a prisoner Of the better class,
unable 90 20 where his desires prompt
him and unable 90 say the things
which are in his heart and mind.
And richly he deserves it, too, many
people say. this man who set out 10
conquer the world, stubbcd his toe and
tOppled from what he considered the
supreme heights 10 practical nothing
ness. For over a year the kaiser that
was has been a guest" in the castle
Of Count Bentlnck. and for over a year
he has sawed wood and said nothing
literally as well as llguratiVely.
But let us contrast the lives Of the
former kaiser and the crown prince:
Tile kaiser lives in Amerongcn, i'm the
Of Utrecht, only step
from the German border. AmerOngen
is one Of the garden spots Of Europe.
The estate OF Count Bentinck, sur
rounded by nine-foot brick wall, is
one Of the type one reads about In
story books. The castle itself stands on
a knoll in the center Of a wonderful
park. Il is surrounded by trees which
