HOLIDAY APPEAL FOR CHILDREN
WHO ARE SUFFERING IN The EAST
Committee For Armenian and Syrian Relief
Asks That America Give ofIt's Abundance
To The Little Ones Over Seas

At this season of prosperity and
plenty throughout this broad Christian
land it is meet and proper that we
should give a thought to others not 80
fortunate as ourselves. While we give
thanks around our bounteously laden
boards at Christmas, let us pause and
think of the starving, homeless, freez-
ing little waits beyond seas, and Of
our abundance spare them at least a
1.-THE.
The approaching holiday season Is
the time when our own little ones will
full of the Christ like joy which the
advent of His birth always brings So
for their sake let us all endeavor to
bring some measure of comfort to the
little brothers and sisters of our Chill.
dren whose hardships are robbing
them of the happiness that should be
every child's birthright.
The Committee for Near East Relief
is issuing the following open letter to
the American public, which should be
proud Of the privilege Of assisting SO
worthy cause:
Dear Friend:
The Children Of Sorrow stand before
you! Won't you set place for them
at your table on Christmas Day?
They are ragged, homeless and
hungry. but they are not hopeless. In
their simple faith they turn trusting
ly to you.
The Children of Sorrow! There are
unknown thousands of them: 110,63S
of whom are under American care. II
is an appalling number of pitiful, or.

N'st shelter under its merciful wings,
There is mile after mile of human mis-
cry to be relieved.
Fatherless and motherless these are
the children of Armenians, Greeks,
Syrans and Jews made homeless and
dependent by the atrocities of the
Turks. They will have no place this
year at a family table of their own on
the Great Day we celebrate.
AS you eagerly plan this festival for
the children dear to your own heart
think for a moment what il would
mean if some terrible fate deprived
them of your love and care, left desc

sectiverous birds, In their nesting sea-
said: Apart from birds, wild life still
exists In the Italian Alps. The ibeX is
still protected as royal game. and
though the heads are deteriOrating
owing to the easy life which these ami
mails lead since their natural enemies,
the wolves and lammergefers, have
been killed, they still exist in fair
numbers. The clamois still is to be
found, also few deer; and wolves
and bears are sometimes met with
also the wildcat. Game birds have
been shot and trapped steadily, as
have all other birds, and there seems
to be no way to create a public senti-
ment to save them. In Sardinia the
moullon is fast disappearing, owing
to the demands for its horns
'In France bird life is much in need
of assistance, due to years of non-pro-
lection, though all French scientists
are anxious to have something done.
The only bird we saw In an extensive
r tour of the country was the pie, or
magpie, and now there is talk of put
ting a bounty of five francs on 1t to
get it out of the way. We saw a
hawk kill maggie In the open road
near Arlea, 50 they have their natural
enemies also. The French sporting
papers are deplOrng the absence of
game and birds, and so are the leading
agricultural journals. They advocate
bounties to bring back the game, a
thing which never happened since the
world began. The vanished species
must be restocked by man. Vanished
dead birds never come back them
selves.
"In Paris a few pigeon rainier still
are to be noted in the parks and gar
dens, but not one where there were
ten before the war.
in conclusion, do not think that
the war has changed the condition Of
wild life either forward or backward.
A steady decrease of everything has
been and is going on, due to the vast
army of hunters with improved fire.
arms, who make game laws joke by
the immense volume of their lawful
slaughter. Natures balance has been
upset everywhere by the destruction
of predatory animals and birds, hence
bounties are placed on the animals or
birds which these creatures formerly
preyed on. This means the wiping out
of species formerly overlooked by the
hunters.
For example, In Algeria Tin the
Kabylie country since the forest
rangers have well-nigh cXterminated
the leopards, wild boars have greatly
increased, and now they can be killed
at all seasons. One native has killed
sixty boars this winter, hunting them
with dogs; and 'such slaughter soon
will wipe them out"
