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
POO American supported orphanages.
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 1t Is the newcomers who are thin.
The orphans who have been from six
months to 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 trade which will make
him self supporting.
They are 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 fiies-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 overwhelmingly, many
new leaves will be needed, and Amer
lea Is asked to set the table.

they will be counted out at the polls

Archbishop of Mexico, announced this
morning that the Church was not inter-

to participate in politics.

The convention voted by a two
thirds majority to bind it's candidate
t. take steps to convoke a constitu-
ticnal assembly to draft a new funda-
mental law as substitute for the
Carranza constitution and to have such
an assembly elected soon. Among the
articles in the present constitution
| VI tni, q
the discussions is Article 81, which is
offensive to foreign interests The
convention did not arouse much en-
thusiasm, and only small number OF
delegates we're present.
The party is composed of civil and
non-military clements. Four aspirants
are prominently mentioned as possible
nominees to oppose Obregon.
Candidates for Congress and the vari-
Gus governorships also are to be
chosen There is a general feeling
that this is likely to complicate the po-
litical situation, possibly resulting in
further disorders. The present gov
eminent, however, has expressed its in
tention to allow fair elections and give
all candidates an equal chance at the
polls.
Zetina a Candidate
One Of the candidates prominently
mentioned for the Republican nomina-
ton for President is Carlos Zetina, 8
prominent business man, who was
leader of the Senate opposition during
the Carranza regime. The others are
Manuel Pe!aez, who is considered in.
eligible, because he holds military
rank; Emilio Pimentel, who was Gov
ernor of the State of Oaxaca during the
Diaz regime, and Alfredo Robes Do
minguez, a leader of the civilian re-
dictionaries during the later days Of
Carranza.
All these candidates are considere,
reactionary and opposed to the present
constitution, particularly as it affects
the rights of foreigners and labor and
agrarian reforms. Among the planks

No Idle Factory Labor in Boston

BOSTON, July 1s.-Reports on the
factory situation in this city, New
Bedford and Fall River show a far
more satisfactory condition than many
dared hope for following the shut
down of the big plants of the American
Wooden Company at Lawrence and
elsewhere.
There virtually is no idle factory
help in this city, no shutting down to
speak of and apparently none sched-
uled for the immediate future. Even
the big Plant shoe factory in the
Jamaica Plain district, which many
thought would be obliged to close on
account of the general depression in
the shoe business, is running regular
ly. Wool men are hopeful rather than
optimistic. Cotton men are confident.
Even the shoe and leather people are
inclined to believe the worst of their
troubles are behind them
Fall River admits conditions could
be better, but see nothing in the mill
industry calling for alarm.
