SAYS AMERICA MUST
 GIVE AID TO ARMENIA

DT. George E. Huptley of Boston. a HeFqber of the American relief comnis- sisp. to Armenia who recently returned q em that stricken country, gave an inte- rfsting illBstrated talk al. the Church of ue Good Shepherd Sunday evening on hs experiences in that country ani told of what the money that s being sent dere is doing for the people oi that Christian nation.
 In Hhe opening of ais talk Dr. Huntley Said that there gereetwo nations in the world which bear similar names .ona in tf.e East, Armenia and one in the West. Anerica These two nations, said Dr. HHntley, are linked together with the cannon faith of Christianity America be- Hg strong and prosperous while Armenia is bowed low with poverty and suffering ald persecution.
 People have asked me to tell the whole | truth about Armenia said Dr. Huntley. ] hE l cannot because the whole truth is mt known and if it was it would be be- y,pd human conception, it Is so terrible. I can tell you only 9 few things that have come under by personal observation | vhils in Armenia.
 l Dr. Huntley's talk was Illustrated by | siereopticop slides taken by him while in | Armenia These slides showed pupbers | gt orphans scaptily clad. their little B,dies showing the results of continual starving, many of them not knowing their oyn names. having been taken from their parents when mere infants. Many of l tfeir parents brothers and sisters either have been, killed by the Turks. or sold into slavery. Other slides showed the | natural resources of Armenia. if they | eeuldf be developed by the inhabitants l without Yaolestseion from the Moslem. Jill others showed the Kurds and pro- !, ftssional bandits who-terrorize the coun- ! tiy. outrage the young women and ir other ways too terrible to mention, prey spop the land and people.
 Several of the pictures showed blind wo-
 F,en whose eyes had been burned ,out after lde Turk had wearied of them. Other slides showed the colonization or the Ar.
 menians on the het sands of Mesopo-
 tamia and their deportation. The ruin.
 CT cities were sboEn and other slides
 slowed heaps of human bones, and skulls
 of victims of the nlassacTes Young wo.
 Ren with the tattso marks of possession lor rather shame were shown. Dr. Hunt. ley said that there were 1o0. 600 of these
 girls now in captivity and as many mora
 who had escaped and large numbers whC
 died in their bondage.
 In conclusion Dr. Huntley said tha 1 a9w was Americas opportunity to do ;
 great work in the east. FThe European
 e0pRtries are in no position to lend ai, and America with all her wealth shoui, do a great Christian work in this line
 Fhe campaign now on for the raising O . sS0.000,eoO seems g large thing but only goes short ways when one SrealiZe , 1 that if all the orphans should line ul forty inches apart there would be a lin
 25o miles in length. If these orphan should march past one point where ration . are given out and one minute to ge the rations. it would take three month 7 and more to feed them one meal. Ther [ can De nc universal peace while such con ] ditioGs exist anywhere in the world an if we would haze peace America mus
 do something for Armenia
 Following Dr. HIptley's talk sand r viches were served by the committee c the church.
