the American people. They look to us
as the human agency to extricate
them from the frightful situation In
which they have been left as a conse-
Quence of the war.
If we should fail to aid them, starva-
ton and the winters cold would go far
to completing the work done by the
unspeakable Turk.

Exiled From Homes.
Since the beginning of the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
exiles from their farms, deprived of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, a year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life of nomads. able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue of American
philanthropy.
These homeless people-"filthy inf
dels" to the Turk-were good enough
to exert their poor might In our be-
half while the war was still in the
balance. Massacres Of half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
We accepted their aid then. Surely
we shall not pass them by without
compassion now.
The day has passed when any self
respecting man dares permit ABSORB
ton In his own personal affairs to ex-
clude consideration of his neighbours
well being. No honorable man can
knowingly allow his neighbor to hum
ger or to go unclothed. The Christian
peoples of the Near East are our
neighbors. The money needed to re-
lieve them can be spared without
causing any man, woman or child In
the United States to suffer.
Must Not Rest on Past.
In other years of our own free will
we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our
schools and colleges and hospitals
have played a wonderful role in hui
manizing that dark spot in the world.
Our ideas, our educational resources,
our material equipment, have been
leaven in the Near East Because we
have done well In times past we have
this great opportunity for the present.
The Armenians have been treated as
perhaps no people In history have been
treated because they are the spiritual
brothers Of western races.

can be but one answer. Their neces-
sity is dire, but our power is great.

PRIZE OFFERED BY ANTI
SEMITE WON BY JEW
ISH ATHLETES

Vienna.-"Das Neue Montag-
blatt", an official anti-Semitic
newspaper offered a silver loving
cup to the victor in the athletic
contests which were held before
Passover. The contests were ar
ranged primarily by Austrian and
Hungarian athletic clubs, but a
Jewish club also participated.
Certainly the anti-Semitic publ
cation did not expect it's prize to
be won by Jewish Zionist Ath-
letic Club, passing under the He
brew name Of s'Iakoach."
It was this very same Jewish
group of athletes who defeated
the German Club 'Germania," in
a football contest last Christmas.
In the recent matches it's accom-
.plishments were even more spec
tacular since it had to compete
with two first class clubs, a Hun
garian and an Austrian. More
over, while these latter clubs par
ticipated one day each, the Jew
ish club played and defeated the
Hungarian organization one day,
and without giving it's members
any rest, defeated the Austrian
athletes the next day.
"Hakoach" is now recognized
as the champion athletic club of

Mr.. Louis Rosenb1um Of Brigh-

more than $4,000. Mr.. Rosen-
blum has left $1,000 to the Fund
for erecting a Hebrew university
in jerusalem. His dwelling
house and landed estate are to
be used for a Jewish orphanage,
in which Hebrew is to be spoken.
The remainder of his estate falls
to the Jewish National Fund for
the purchase of land and for set

family in Palestine.
Two further sums of some
10000 lire (Ital.) were left in

ANNIHILATION OF GER
MAN JEWS.

Frankfort a. MA newspaper
Of this city declares in an article
that with the closing of the doors
of Germany to Jewish immigra-
ton the Jews of Germany must
soon disappear altogether. Birth
control, baptism and intermar-
rage are given as the prime fac
tors in the complete annihilation
of German eJewry. Thru birth
control the size of the average
Jewishcfami1y is becoming small
er and smaller and conversion to
Christianity also removes a very
large number of Jews each sue
ceeding- year.
Then again intermarriage has
been on the increase in recent
years and in the last few years
has equalled if not surpassed the
number of normal Jewish mar
riages.
There are official statistics re-
lating to this process of assimi1a-
;tion, that date only rnap to 1916.
These show a tremendous con-
trast between the first and sec
ond decade of the Goth century.
For example: In 1908 there took
place in Germany seventeen in
termarriages to every one hun
dred Jewish marriages, while in
1915 there were more intermar-
riages than normal marriages,
with a ratio of 1O4 to 100. In
1916 this ratio dropped to seven
ty-fve intermarriages for every
100 Jewish marriages.
In commenting upon these fig
ures the same newspaper gives

Everyone is familiar with the great
the great war, both at home and on
the battle front, and the great work
that the army is carrying on through
out the world, and no organization is
more deserving of the whole-hearted
support by every community than this
splendid band of men and women.
The state of Arizona is called upon
to subscribe the sum of $4,000, and
of this sum Pinal county's quota is
$1,000, a small sum when viewed in
the light of the great bond issues
put over during the great war and
we can easily put the Salvation Army
subscription over if we take hold in
the manner the army deserves.
