Chlldren are DYING from STAR
WALTON in Europe and Asia. The
Turks, feeling that the Armenian and
Syrian people within the borders of
the Turkish Empire We're luke-warm
in their loyalty, thought to, once for
all, rid the land of their presence,
and decided to deport them en- masse.
The able-bodied men were killed
the boys We're killed down to 10 years
OF age. The women and children were
herded together and driven by brutal
gendarmeS and savage soldiery, out
into the desert of Arabia.
Reports say that in this exodus
there We're 100000 women and chill
dren. l will save YOU the the details
your imagination is sufficient.
Mothers took the lives of the infants
rather than let them starve to death
IN their arms and by the roadside.
The result in general is: that the
men are dead, the women, many of
them in Turkish harems, the children
-SoO,OOO dead-250,O00 in the hands
OF relief workers and orphanages, or
in bread lines DEPENDING ON
AMERICA.
VIII we let them go the way of
their fathers, mothers, sisters, and
brothers? Surely not!
Only debased peoples or peoples
who do not know of these conditions
could permit that.

GATE would be established and that
the U. S. government would assume
police duty and care for these unfor-
tunate Innocent peoples; but we have
not seen tit to take a mandate. This
is likely a wise insight. A mandate
means European policies and might
involve the U. s.. later in war.
The result is that What is NO.
6ODY'S Business is not done.
The U. S. has recognized that Al
menia is Il republic, but the recogni-
non is empty. 1t is like saying 'How
do You do" to a drowning man.
Political machinery moves slowly
in time things will adjust. AT the
same time HUNGER MOVES FAST.
CHILDREN MUST EAT and they
must be CLOTHED-and the REST
mandate in the world is SYAIpATHY
AND UNDERSTANDING n TuE
THINGS THAT GO WITH TUESF-
SOMETHING TO EAT n SOME
THING TO WEAR!
Remembering that 100000 of these
cold hungry orphans are DEPENDING on
