Suffering Armenia Calls
For Instant Aid Now

NnaS. II. CurfenS, SCaCe director
for Near East relief, informs this pa.
per he has received from Marash
Turkey, cablegram as follows:
Situation in Marash most desper-
ate Since January 81 there has been
reign of terror. Every day hun.
dreds of people of both sexes and all
ages are massacred. French ere only
on the defensive and there is 10 pow
er to put an end to these ects. NUM-
tons and forces are not adequate
Roads towards Marash are reported
barred by large forces and there can
be no assurance of help. Everything
possible must be done to relieve the
situation, because there is serious
danger to the lives of all Christians.
American institutions are under fire
and there are many orphans and ref
ugees among the wounded. Food sup
plies are running low"
Another .cablegram from Colonel
Haskell, high commissioner for the
Allied powers in the Near East, states
that Armenia can not exist one week
if American assistance is withdrawn.
He says: "It's salvation rests upon
our ability to keep our organization
operating and the line Of communica-
tions open for supplies to reach the
people. Twenty-Five thousand or
phans attend our schools h.lf Gay
and work a half day, learning trades
in shops. Near East relief is now
saving hundreds of thousands from
death by starvation and exposure"
Vermilion parish has small citi-
zen with a great big heart. A few
days ago, ]. C. Rosseaux, Jr., 5 years
old, happened into the Near East re-
lief state office, Room NJ, in the
Grunewarld hotel, in New Orleans,
and after looking at some of the pa
thetic photographs of starving girls
and boys in Armenia, showed how
big he really is by emptying his small
trouser pockets of all their pennies and
saying to State Director Chas. H.
Correns, "Send these to the starving
people of Armenia" Little j. C. is
the son of Rev. and Mrs. Rosseaux of
AbbeviHe, La. No doubt many older
men than our little friend would catch
the vision as he did if they could only
see the photographs of the peoples
who have been so violated by the in
human Turk.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. NJ. Milliken of
Crowley, La, have just had report
from Mrs. Milliken's two sisters who
are engaged in relief work under the
Near East relief committee in Cons
tantinople in Turkey. These young
women both assure their Louisiana
friends of their delight with the work
Of rescuing starving people from
death. They havee established num-
Der of industrial centers where thou
sands of the unfortunate people are
given employment in weaving cloth
and the manufacture Of other neces-
sites. Although the term for which
;hese young women had arranged to
remain has passed, the appeal of the
work is so great that they have con-
.luded to remain indefinitely.
In the campaign for relief to the
tarving people in Bible lands, Lin
oln parish is making magnificent
howing. Rev. R. H. Wynn, pastor Of

IS THREATENED


Tiflis, Dec. 1.-(Associated
Press) Russian bolshevik forces
appear to be concentrating for a
campaign which will eliminate the
republic Of Georgia from the map
OF the Caucasus region. Heavy So
Wet forces have been concentrated
At TuaDse, a port on the eastern
shore of the Black Sea, and at
Gagri, port still further to the
southeast toward the Georgian
frontier. Other bolsheviki detach-
ments are reported at KAYAK,
southeast Of Tiflis, while the tenth
bolsheviki army, which has been
operating along the Armenian from
tier. is said to have passed through
Karakl.ss, moving toward the
Georgian republic.
Independent Georgia has been
tolerated by the bolsheviki because
Of the trade advantages offered at
Batum. which has been regarded in
Moscow as a corridor which per-
mitted the bolsheviki to bring in
supplies from Europe. Reliable in
formation from Batum, however, in
dicates serious disturbances, the
Georgian garrison there having r.
volted. This resulted in a panic
and people stormed the ships in the
| harbor. seeking to escape before
the arrival Of bolsheviki troops,
/ which were reported in the neigh
bOrhood.
/ 1t is understood the allies regard
the situation as SO serious that they
/, have considered sending warships
/, to insure the evacuation of allied
mission In Georgia.

rectly in line with the explosion. 1t
was more than two hours after the

Aside from a few bits of wood, the
up was a bottle of pills the driver
evidently had been taking to relieve

A fire scare added to the panic of
the tenants in the Iselin building
just after the shock. All the avn

were ablaZe.
A tenant on the thirty-eighth floor
of the Equitable building notified the
police that a piece of wagon axle

How to Treat
A TORPID Liver

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body. and
when the liver refuses to act, ii
causes constipation. biliousness,
headaches. indigestion, gas. sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs. on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immediate
ly.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble. and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nights.
Calomel or other ordinary laXatives
do not go far enough. If you would
treat. your kidneys and blood while
your entire system in order and fire.
quent purgatives would then be un-
necessary.
DR.. w. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts facts -, and after much study and
known as DR.. Hitchcock's Liver.
Kidney and Blood Powders. three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctors favorite prescrip.
ton for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success
1t is harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking It.

druggist or dealer for Csc, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
