Mr.. Daniels Speaks for Near East
Relief; Mr.. Gerard Refers to
Critics as "Soviet Board"

NEY YORK, February (by the
Associated Press).-The past year for
the United States has been one "of
fiddling and delay" and was character
lied as the tragedy of tragedies" by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
addressed the opening meeting here
yesterday of the campaign for the
near east relief fund. Although Amer
lea had not kept faith with the allies,
he said. he had confidence that the
American people would do their duty
"One of the beliefs that carried US
into the war;" added Secretary Dan
iels, was that small peoples have the
own destines. Shall America alone fail
now in sustaining that principle? I do
not believe it. / am confident that the
American people will respond to this
call. Give to Armenia present relief
from the perils of starvation and then
provide for the freedom of the coun-
try from the rule of the Turk. They
will respond to this call as they have
responded to every call made upon
them since April 6, 1917"
Secretary Daniels in speaking of the
Navy said that the popular idea of
fighting machine. This, he added, is
it's chief mission, but If 1t had not
proved a powerful agency in protect
ing the people and upholding the dig
nifty OF the nag at all tiHncS IL udu
failed of its mission.
There was nothing the matter with
the American Navy during the war"
James w. Gerard. former ambassador
to Germany said in a brief address.
THE trouble with the Secretary Is
that he is too good-n4tured." added
Mr.. Gerard. IF I had been Secretary
of the Navy and a bunch OF admirais
! or anybody else had formed soviet
board of criticism, / would have had
| them on the slide and their heads In
| the basket inside of twenty-four
! hours"
Not far from a million Christians
have been murdered by their Turkish
| oppressors," Henry Morgenthau. for
| mer ambassador to Turkey, declared:
Hungry. terror stricken hundreds OF
! thousands of refugees now look to
| the United States for succor."
| There has already been $1.000,0eO
! subscribed to the relief fund in New
| York city, it was announced during
| the meeting.
| Seventy-five bishops Of the Ameri-
can Episcopal Church have protested
| to President Wilson against the ten
| tative action of the peace conference
| in depriving Armenia of an outlet to
the sea, it was announced here last
! night
