ment in regard to news dispatches

charges that officials of the organiza-
tion expended relief funds for enter

served at dinners given by relief Of
ficials.

the Near East Relief of seven ex-
service men formerly employed by the
organization in Constantinople, Mr..
Nickrey. who has just returned from
the Turkish capital, said:
These men who make these allega-
tion of extravaganza and waste on
The part of officials of the Near East
Relief are now being tried on the
charge of stealing supplies destined
for the relief of starving women and
children of the near east.
I'VE were perfectly well aware that
the men charged with these thefts
would seek to defend themselves by
bringing counter charges against the
relief organization in the hope of ex-
cusing their offense. but we deter
mined to clean house and to pursue
the investigation to the very top. We
shall do that, whatever comes out in
this trial"
