<"<Auert Tragedy Lnconceivable,''
81 8eE Pleads Navy Secretary's Wife

BY MRS. JosEPHUS DANIELS,
Wife Of the Secretary of the Navy.
THE plight Of the people of
- Armenia presents tragedy incon-
ceivable. Hundreds of thousands Of
the descendants Of the earliest Chris
tian race are now, because of their re-
ligion, undergoing sufferings beyond
the Imagination Of civilized America.
During the war it is estimated that
100000 Armenians, third of the to-
tai population, We're massacred. No
barbarity in human history exceeds the
gross cruelty of that destruction.
Thousands were driven out upon the
desert, there to die from hunger and
thirst under the pitiless rays of trOp-
ical sun.
Such was the price which the Ar
menian people paid for their Chris
tianity and their loyalty TO the cause
of justice and democracy during the
world war.
Armenians from the Turkish prov
ince are refugees in the Russian Cau-
casus and in Syria. For five years
these small farmers have been nomads,
driven out of their homes without
means of self sustenance Today moth
ing but American relief stands be-
tween them and destruction.
One-quarter of a million children,
chiefly orphans, whose parents perish
ed In massacres, are utterly dependent
on American charity.
Many thousand wOmen-Dr. James
J.. Barton, chairman of the Executive
Committee Of the Near East Relief,
who has lately returned from Armenia,
estimates them at 60,OO0-who have
fled from persecution, can live only if
American men and women give for
their needs.
