have greatly increased. Col. Coombs,
managing director at Constantinople
commends the spirits Of sacrifice
among American relief workers. which
more than Offsets the lack of some in
experience.
When Americans became beleaguered
in the banditinfested interior, Col.
Coombs wrote circular letter inform
ing the personnel that they were free
to leave when they felt conditions
warranted it, but only three former
soldiers quit their posts. Even after
Adana was surrounded Miss Doris Ne

Pittsburgh, and Miss Ruth Henry, OF
Amherst, Mass. voluntarily braved a
journey through the Turk lines to
take charge of that branch. This was
only one of several similar incidents.

ARMEN|ANS HAIL
AMERICAN PEOPLE
AS THEIR SAvl0RS
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE
LIVING TO-DAY BECAUSE
OF u. S. AID.
MAKE BRAVE FIGHT THEMSELVES

New York.-Charles V. Vickrey.
secretary of Near East Relief, has sent
the following cable message from Con-
stantinople to Near East Relief head
quarters in this city:
Have just returned from a thor
ough inspection of conditions through
out Armenia. The premier, president,
governors, mayors and all authorities
agree that Armenia was saved last
year by the -four and other foodstuffs
sent from America. Hundreds of thou.
sands are living today who would be
dead had it not been for American re.
lief. They are devoutly grateful to
their saviors in the United States.
THE Armenians are thrifty, hard
working and industrious. Considering
their handicaps they have made re-
markable progress towards self-sup.
port. Hundreds of thousands of them
are still homeless refugees from Turk
ish Armenia.
Without modern agricultural i'm
plements, with an insufficient number
of oxen and with an inadequate supply
of seed wheat they have succeeded in
raising food supplies that will carry
them until mid-winter. Supplementary
supplies must be provided until the
recently signed peace treaty with
Turkey can be made effective and Sc
curity given under which they can re.
turn to the site of their ruined homes
and regain full selfsupport.
Everyone joins in high praise of
the magnificent life saving-if not ma
ton saving-work of Col Haskell in
the -four distribution of last winter.
Since the withdrawal Of Col. Haskell
and the American military mission
last August the relief work is being
continued under the civilian direction
uf Capts. Yarrow and Strong.
THE American civilian personnel Of
Near East Relief operates one orphan
age at Alexandropol that contains ap-
proximately ten thousand Armenian
war orphans. Another orphanage at
Kars accommodates six thousand or. =
phans. There are three thousand at
Tic FL ivan oIpHdudSc anu biudiiSI VI
phanages at other centers.
These orphaned boys and girls
constitute the hope of the future for
the Near East. American philanthropy,
through Near East Relief, Is render
ing an inestimable service in promot-
ing good will and international
friendship. A few millions of dollars
today in the form of food, education
and industrial training for these Or
phans may save billions of dollars to-
morrow in warfare and international
strife"

Some day her hand shall clasp in ours,
And we shall never say farewell.

There will be glorious dawn,
When we shall meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection MORN.
But when the sun in all its state
Illumined the eastern skies,
She passed through glories golden gate,
And walked in Paradise.

CITY OF DEATH
IS TRANSFORMED
AMERICAN PHILANTHROPY &C.
COMPOSITES WONDERS IN
SHORT TIME, NURSE

american charity is Transforming
normal people, dying by the hundreds
from starvation. into nation OF
sturdy, normal, well fed citizens"
Miss Blanche L. Knox, u Philadelphia
nurse, told officials of Near East Re-
lief on her return recently from
year and half Of service In Trans
caucasia.
THE transformation of Armenia Is
best illustrated by that OF Alexandra
pol, its largest CITY," she said. "Whsn
we arrived there early in 1919 condi'
tions were horrible. More awful than
the city itself were it's inhabitants.
Their grain.sack clothing was mud
dyed. Along the streets half-mad
creatures were digging in the mud for
something they could eat, or else laid
down in the mud to die. Before we ar
rived there seemed to have been little
or no attempt to bury the bodies OF
the dead.
"Alexandropol was a far different
city when again passed through 1t on
the way home. The streets were
cleaned and the people were well
clothed in old American garments or
in suits made at the Near East Relief
industrial shops. The ragged, abnor-
NAL orphans had been gathered In
Near East Relief asylums. The mud
colored town that had seemed death
itself few months before was hardly
recognizable.
= ITO make this improvement per.
manent relief activities must be con-
tinued until the political situation
clarifies"
Miss Knox's work overseas was not
without its thrills Once she was
aroused at midnight by Kurd machine
gunners firing on the city of Igdir,
and was compelled to flee with the
orphans under her care In that city.
Last May, In the Caucasus, her train
was held up for six hours by Rolshe'
visits.
Miss Knox served. during the war
with the Red Cross.

ARMENIAN REPUBLIC NOT
TAINTED WITH B0LSHE vISM

Reports that bolshevists are pen
etrating Armenia. based on the re-
cent establishment of soviet gov
eminent in the provinces Of Kara
bakh and Zangezoor are mislead-
ing, according to a statement is-
sued by Near East Relief. The two
provinces in question are inhabited
largely by Armenians, but are not
a part Of the Republic of Armenia.
They consist of mountainous re-
gion, the richest mineral district OF
the Near East, known to possess
gold, copper, sulphur, iron and zinc
mines, but which Is cut Off from
the Armenian Republic by lack of
roads.
The Armenians, the statement
goes on to say, have been opposed
bitterly to bolshevism from the
start and are now calling all men
from Is to As to arms to fight the
advance of soviet troops, should
any campaign against Armenia be
attempted. A brief bolshevist rev.
olution in Alexandropol, Armenia,
on May / was put down by the
government within few days. The
menia lies in the possibility ora
only danger of bolsheyism Is Ar
cessation of the relief work now
being conducted by the Near East
Relief in Transcaucasia, with its
resulting starvation Of the iRhabi-
tants Of that country, which might
conceivably force them into the
arms of Soviet Russia.
AS there Is no intention on the
part of the Near East Relief to
cease its activities, this prospect is
considered very remote.

VoshelI Alexander Among
Survivors After Beating
Vandeventer Brothers

to the four survivors in the semi-inal
round on the Crescent Athletic Club
courts yesterday, and in every case
favored teams came through success
fully. In the upper half of the draw
s. Howard Voshell and Frederick B.
Alexander, third on the national rank
ing list, advanced at the expense of
Ludlow and Philip Vandeventer who
gave a mighty good account of them
selves, while Lyle L. Mahan and Alrick

victory over Willard Botsford and
Frank I. Anderson. In the lower
half the semi-fnalists are Harold A.
Throckmorton and Charles NJ. Bull jr.
and Walter Merrill Hall and Leonard
Beekman.
Voshell and Alexander encountered
sterner opposition than they had bar
gained for in their match with the
Vandeventer brothers yesterday and
had to keep going at top speed to
end their match in straight sets. For
time in the second division of play
