ARMENIANS LOYAL TO ALLIES
None Of the Conquered Peoples Have
Shown More Devotion to Cause
Of Liberty Than They.

It has been the Armenians who have
been most constant in their loyalty to
the allies, and eight months ago, from
the city Of Van, 100 of them went forth
to take up positions which had been
vacated by Russians.
After the Turks took Erzerum last
February they swept on against the
national armies of the Armenians and
Georgians through to Tabriz in north
western Persia, threatening the south
ern Caspian ports and wiping out all
Armenians they met, Maynard Owen
Williams writes in Asia Magazine.
They boasted that they would keep on
until they met the Russian army, then
nonexistent. The fight by the Armen-
ians and Georgians, lacking allied sup
port, became more hopeless. The
Georgians bravely declared their in
dependence last May; but hardly a
month later 80 Georgian and Armenian
delegates in Constantinople were ut
terly unable to do anything but ac-
cede to the Turkish demands that they
withdraw their troops. 1t is evident
that the Georgians are now complete
ly dominated.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion of the 20,000,-
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help In the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer

THREE NOTED FRENCH TOWNS
Will Live in History as Having Given
Their Names to Articles of Every
i Day Commerce.

Three towns in northern France
have given their names to articles Of
everyday commerce-Cambrai, from
which "cambric" is derived; Arras, q
term applied to a certain kind Of
tapestry, and Valenciennes, noted for
its lace in olden times. Cambria, too,
is associated with the name Of the
great French ecclesiastic and moralist,
Francois Fenelon, a statue of whom
stood in the cathedral before the Ger
mans captured the town. Fenelon
wrote one of the most famous novels
of the eighteenth century: "The Adj
ventures of Telemachus," an account
of the son of Ulysses. At Cambria was
concluded a very curious treaty, the
so-called Ladies' Peace" between
Louise of Savoy and Margaret of Aus
tria, representing France and Austria,
respectively, in 1929. At Arras was
born the celebrated leader of the
French Revolution, Macmillan Robes
pierre, who organized the Reign of
Terror by which he himself was finally
to fall. Valenciennes no longer made
the beautiful lace which its name sug-
gests, but was a center for the manu-
facture of hosiery, trimmings, and
handkerchiefs. 1t was the birthplace
of two famous men-Watteau, whose
paintings are regarded as perhaps the
most characteristic products of French
art in the eighteenth century, and
Froissart, whose chronicles of the
wars of the Middle Ages are full Of
movement and color. Near by is an
other famous town-Douai-wh
name is Joined with version in Eng
fish of the Bible prepared for the
special use OF. the Catholic church.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL help
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the. Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reatiOnal problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result of community organiZa-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.
