| Everywhere in the fields there were people down on their knees searching for grasses to eat. Those near the railroad lifted their heads and gazed at our train as 1t rushed past, and caught glimpses of terrible faces. An old man sitting at the top o1 an em- bankment waved handful of grass at me where I stood at the car window, then threw his head back and laughed maniacal laugh. I began then to feel the cold chills with which l was to shiver for days on end"
 Of Kars she writes:
 Tt had been raining for days, and wherever one looked one saw nothing but misery and mud. Between the rail- road tracks were unsightly pools and puddles, through which many human scare-crows trudged back and forth.
 "They were a multiple Lazarus, and the train was the rich mans table. They were begging for crumbs. I be- gan to hear for the first time the whin- ing indescribable phrase that sounded to me like 'O-na-ne, O-na-ne.' It was so feebly, so plaintively murmured, 'O-na-ne.'"
 Mrs. Egan asked what it meant and was told the nearest equivalent was "Oh, my soul !" But" she says, lit was more than that; it was prayer for mercy"
 Describing a makeshift hospital be- fore the arrival of the Near East Relief workers, Mrs. Egan writes:
 "The sick in their unbelievable rags were lying around on the floors-bun- dies of unimaginable wretchedness. The doctor was not doing anything at all for them. What could he do? He had not so much as a single ounce of medicine of any kind. The little peo- pie were more pitiable than the adults. The ward, if I may call 1t that, had in it not one stick of furniture of any kind, end the children were all lying on the dusty and rubbish-strewn floor with nothing under them and no covering save the rags they wore"

American Women Stirred,
 by Armenian Horrors :.

"RHERCIFUL GOD, it's all true !!
 AVA Nobody has ever told the whole truth Nobody couldp"
 Thus Eleanor Franklin Egan, in the Saturday Evening Post, quotes How ard Heinz of Pittsburgh, Herbert Hcovers representative in the Near East, on the real conditions in Arme- mia as he saw them with his own eyes.
 MT. Heinz had been one of those who had believed the stories of star walton and death in Armenia had been exaggerated. Not until he went him. self to the Caucasus did his views change Then he was shaken to the foundation of his soul by what he saw.
 Fearful Awful Horrible! Unbe- lievable!" are some of the adjectives Mrs. Egan says must be used in speak ing of conditions in the Near East, where Near East Relief, 1 Madison Avenue, New York, supported by con- tributions from the American people, is conducting the only organized. effort to, save the lives of these utterly desti tute millions. Everything she saw and heard justified the necessity for quick and generous aid from America. Her story. of what she witnessed re-en- forces the call of the Near East Re lief for aid for stricken Armenia.
 "The Hunger grin is everywhere evident" Mrs. Egan writes. "The pitiful hundreds seemed to me to be weeping constantly. Not profoundly as in grief, but whimperingy, ap- pealingly as in unbearable physical distress. A terrible population. Un- speakably filthy and tatterdemalion throngs; shelterless, death striSken throngs milling from place to place, children crying aloud, women sobbing in broken inarticulate lamentation men utterly hopeless and reduced to staggering weakness, needless of the tears rolling down their dirt-streaked faces"
 That is her picture of the Arme- nians most in evidence in Armenia These are the throngs. Then she turns to the mobs. Large numbers here and there, wide-eyed, eager, hands | outstretched in wolfsh supplication l; teeth barred in a ghastly grin that had long since ceased to smile-an emaciat- ed skin-stretched grin, fixed and un- comfortable"
 "Is 1t any wonder" she asks that | could not swallow my food? I threw 1t to the children in the ravening hordes and started small riots The | children fought together, snarled and clawed at one another for small bits of army biscuit or morsels of bully beef.
 And then I was told that many of them were so starved that solid food

 was likely to kill them instantly This was too terribly true. Yet in the whole length and breadth of the land there was not an ounce of food of the kind necessary for such cases. At Kars saw one man die with bread in his teeth. And if you will consent to look with me upon too awful thing I will add that he showed evidence of having eaten too much grass.
 q went hungry in Armenia, and I associate remembered bangs of my own with all my recollections of the terrible land. 1 had plenty of food with me, but for days on end I could not eat. It was a physical impossibil- ity.
 "And came to point, too, when to look upon things that had to be looked upon set my heart to auaking in a horror difficult to describe"
 Of her first sight in Armenia of the terrible condition of the people Mrs. Egan writes of the scenes on her way to Kars:
