DIRE NEED
FOR HELP
Conditions in Near East Relief
Appalling Beyond
Belief

Columbia. Dec 2O.--E O. Back.
treasurer of the Near East Relief. has
received telegram from Henry Nor
Santhau, former ambassador to Tur-
Key, telling of the deplorable condi-
uons now existing in the Near East
and making an earnest plea to the peo-
pi. OF the United not to abandon the
little orphans who are now being TAX
en- care OF by tn" contributions Of the
people of this country
America won the admiration and
gratitude of the Near East by disintcr-
ested altruism and philanthrophy dur
lnG The past four years Peace and
order have not been restored. These
people are still helpless. Their land
has again been the battle ground of
contcnding forces. Their efforts TO
maintain independence have partially
1alled owing to the superior forces of
their ncighbors.
Large numbers of refugees hove
been dspossessed OF their temporary
homes. Recent cables state that the
roads leading to various places of
satety are crowded with refugees. A
hard winter has begun. The snow is
knee deep in many places. These
helpless refugees are again thrown
upon our mercy. Unless we heed
their cry they will perish this winter
by the thousands.
THE situation today is worse than
1t was last year. The Near East Re
hef is the only organization whose
FUNDS are used for this work. Hun
dreds of these people are living today
who would have persisted had it not
been for American relief. Large
numbers of orphaps now in the more
than two hundred orphanages main
tanned by the Near East Relief arc
totally dependent upon the Near East
Roller for the simplest necessities of
life. They must not now be left 10
perish after being rescued by us. no
matter where these people arc or
which faction claims the right to gov
ern them the refugees are homeless
orphans and helpless. Their faces
are turned toward us in despair and
expectancy. They are the Tiny Tins
of the holiday season"
