BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop Of All in Con-
stantinopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training Is aid
Ing prominently In the rehabilitation
of hundreds of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized into scout
troop In Constantinople as the solution
of one OF the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re.
lief workers in that city.
Houaded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence. these boys had
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge Ia the Near
East Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad in rags for
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care of clothes This was Il tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need OF
every pair of shoes and of every suit
OF clothes for new boys constantly COM
Ing In.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms.
They began to be careful of their
school clothes rs well as of their uni
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without c0mpunc-
ton. When they first entered the or.
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became Boy Scout he was obvious
~ uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse in his hand. s W

oil fields of Baku have been ordered by
the Azerbaidiahese to leave the city
because there is no work for them and
food is scarce.
Around every station along the rail-

them too weak even to try to help

the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many OF
these people as possible. AT Erivan,
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from thousand daily to
an average Of twenty. At Alexandra

Armenia were driven by thousands, the
