MOBILIZE CLOTHING FOR
NEEDY IN ARMENIA.

Clothing is needed for the suffering
orphans in Armenia, where the people
shiver six months in the year. These
homeless children want food and
medicine, which are being supplied
10 them by the Near East Relief,
through the generosity of the Ameri-
can people, but a special appeal is
made at this time for the mobilization
Of clothing by the people of Illinois
through P. J. Byrne, Executive Sec
rotary Of the Illinois Near East Re
lief organization. Mr.. Byrne said:
Colonel Jackson, who was with
General Harbord on the Military Mis-
sion that went to Armenia, said that
when he was in the Near East year
ago he was none too warm in hsi reg
ulation army uniform, with great coat
and leather boots, and yet he saw wo-
men and girls of delicate breeding in
the scantiest of clothing, many of
them in rags. This was where the
winter climate is as rigorous as that
Of the American Rockies.
The Near East Relief is one OF
the two agencies incorporated by act
OF Congress to conduct relief work in
Armenia, Cilicia, Syria and Persia
During June and July the Near East
Relief will collect clothing for the
thousands OF poor, ragged and almost
naked refugees in the Near East, who
look solely to this organization for
the necessities of life. The poor and
the formerly well-to-do viii have no
clothing, unless the American people
come to the rescue with what they can
spare. The following are wanted by
the needy over there: coats, dresses.
sweaters, skirts, blankets, petticoats.
overooats, wooden shirts, and scarfs,
heavy hose, underwear, wrappers,
wooden gloves and mittens, boots,
shoes, slippers and ehildren's clothes
Of every sort.
1T is requested that bundles of
such clothing be delivered to the min
lister, a neighborhood church, or the
county chairman of the Near East
Relief. If sent direct to Chicago,
these bundles should be prepaid to
the Near East Relief Office, 10 South
La Sale Street. Chicago. Illinois"

The atmosphere Is believed to eI.
tend much more than 100 miles above

creases rapidly for the first few
