The Fastest American Destroyers.

All American records for speed were
broken by the torpedo boat destroyer
Satterlee during her standardization
firing over the measured mile of Rock
land, Me-, when she made a mile at
the rate of 1926 knots. The best pre-
yious record of 37.04 knots was held by
the American destroyers Dent and
Wickes. The boat also established a
new record in her class for horsepow-
er. developing a maximum of 31,223.
The Satterlee, which has been in COM
mission six months, was built by the
Newport News Shlpbuilding and Dry
Dock company.-Scientific American.

Assyrian, Greek and Armenian, Jew
and Christian-all rescued from the
fear Of the Turk and under the care Of
American men and women.
Most of the children are cared for in
229 American supported orphana ges.
The first ceremony in receiving these
starved, almost naked children, is to
clean them up. They are not only ema-
ciated, but dirty with sores and YER
min-69 hospitals and over 5000 beds
are kept full of the little sufferers.
But the children keep changing. Last
year they were all thin and pitiful /;
now it is the newcomers who are thin.
The orphans who have been from six
months to a year in American care are
well fed and well clothed.
Best Of all for a new Near East
which surely must come out of all this
distress. every child old enough is be-
ing taught a trade which will make
him self supporting.
They are a thrifty lot, these little
parentless exiles. From their scant
store Of bread they always carry a
portion in small bag about their
necks-they fear the day OF another
killing, another drive into the desert
They horde the shoes sent from
America until snow tiies-they remem-
Der their barefoot pain in the SHOWS
last spring.
They cling to their new found
friends. Every day other little waits
find place in the orphanages and are
told of the generous people of the
United States Soon the entrances will
be crowded with children frozen out
from their temporary summer quarters.
Then the table of the Near East Re-
lief must be extended-many, many
new leaves will be needed, and Amer
lea is asked to set the table.
