Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support it's
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become Independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts Of humanity
which have prompted the people of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially Of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
II hope we shall all unite In this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. ! call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results"

the troops of those categories which
had received even partial training in
the United States were practically ex-
hausted. Moreover, the strain on our
services of supply made it essential
that early relief be afforded by increas-
ing it's personnel. The final agreement
was cabled to the war department on
June 5, as follows:
1.-The following recommendations are
made on the assumption that at least
100000 men can be transported in each
of the months of June and July by the
employment of combined British and
American tonnage. We recommend:
"For the month of June: Absolute
priority shall be given to the trans
portation of 10000 combatant troops,
%, 400 men for the service of the rail-
ways, the balance to be troops of
categories to be determined by the
chief, American expedi-
tiOnary forces.
For the month of July: Absolute
priority for the shipment of 100000
combatant troops, the balance to con-
sist of troops to be designated by the
commander-in-ch American expedi-
tiOnary forces.

troops to be dispatched in July may

the present emergency is such as to
justify a temporary and exceptional
departure by the United States from
sound principles of training, especially
as similar course is being followed
