INDUSTRY AIDED
BY RELIEF WORK
BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURAL
CONDITIONS IN NEAR EAST
ARE IMPROVED.

The Armenians and Greeks were the
man empire When these people were
rudely uprooted, their homes pillaged
and their stores plundered, business
stopped The early efforts of the Near
East Relief committee were directed
towards the establishment Of native
industries and the encouragement of
all forms Of self-support.
AS far as funds permitted, oxen and
seed were supplied to the farmers, raw
wool and cotton were furnished to the
carders, spinners and weavers, mate
rial and tools to the carpenters to re-
build demolished homes, hand sewing
machines loaned to the women, and
leather was supplied to the cObbler to
make shoes for the orphans. Me-
chaniCs were employed in the trans
pOrtatiOn department. Every means
that an ingenious American relief di
rector could devise was utilized in
finding employment for the returned
refugees and in inducing merchants
and farmers to go back to their for
mer occupations. In the orphanages
the older children are trained along
industrial lines in preparation for
work
The following notes from a typical
station report for one month are sug-
gestive of industrial activity in many
relief centers: $50 employed in weav-
ing; IA in the shoe shop; 16 in the
carpenter shop; IA in the blacksmith
shop; 5 in the tin shop.
It has been impossible to make win
ter suits in advance because of the
late arrival of suitable cloth, but the
tailor shop equipment at present con-
sists Of "A hand sewing machines, 10
foot sewing machines, 2 cutting tables
and pairs Of scissors.
The agricultural department has un-
dertaken the task Of providing vege-
tables and cereals for the orphanages
for the coming year. The method pur-
sued is for each orphanage Of 100 chill
dren approximately, the supply Of
vegetables necessary for the coming
year. About three acres for each or
phanage are being prepared to provide
crops of beans, squash, potatoes, musk
melons, watermelons, spinach, toma-
toes, cucumbers, okra, onions and
other vegetables. In addition to this
the large orphanage farms at Sursuri
Vank and Hoolavank are being plant
ed with grain which will supply con-
siderable part of the needs of the Or
phanages, although it is far from ade-
quate for the entire years needs.

Christmas Number of Scribner'S
Magazine

The December (Christmas) num-
Der of SCRIBNER'S has rather more
more than the usual holiday flavor
this. year. There are several Christ
mas poems, and Henry van Dyke, in
his department known as Guide
Posts and Camp-Fires," writes de-.
lightfully OF christmas Green's"
recalling the old Yuletide customs of
England, and asking the question,
DO you think the World War has
spoiled Christmas ?"-to which he
emphatically replies in the negative.
The number opens with an article
about Robert Louis Stevenson's
Contribution to Literature and Life"
by Lauchlan MacLean Watt, author
of Hills Of Home" and Stevenson's
Pentland Essays
There is one aspect of the effect
OF the war upon civilization that has
probably not been generally thought
OF. 1t is this that LothrOp Stoddard
points out in his article on 1.-THE New
Ignorance" He tells of how the war
has practically stopped the circula-
ton of literature in the world, and
how much is taking place unknown
to millions of people who have no
access to- contemporary periodicals or
the new books.
The short stories of the number
are widely varied in their subject
and their handling The one that
has special application to the Christ
mas season is Candles of Faith"
by Blair Niles
Mary Synon, whose stories always
have an unusual element of power
and vigor in their writing, in 1.-THE
Second Round" tells of how a young
engineer in the face of defeat by
sheer pluck and ability won fame
and distinction, and beat the hard
fates that had been against him.
In "The Trial Of Jonathan Goode,"
by John Preston Buchanan, with il
Illustrations by A. B. Frost, there is
an atmosphere of real Southern hui
NOR.
The alleged dumping" of perish
able foods to keep up prices has al
ways been a subject of popular mis-
apprehension on the part of the gen
eral public. The Bureau of Markets
has made many Investigations of
such rumors, but the only evidence of
dumping" that has ever been found
is where products have been con-
demned by health authorities.

PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN

The war has, we hope, determined
that peoples driven from their coun-
tries by brutal invasion shall have the
right to return, possess their lands in
established peace, and live their own
national and political life
For 5000 years the Armenians, who
are probably the most ancient Chris
tan people in the world, have formed
a barrier against the Plagiarism of the
Orient, and have been for over 500
years the most industrious and in
telligent people in the Turkish Empire.
The refusal of the Armenians to fight
with Turkey against the Allies, let
loose upon these helpless people a
crusade of torture and murder so
diabolical as to be impossible of de-
scription. Over 100000 of them have
been nlassacred, their young women
have been dragged into nameless cap
tivity; and Of the survivors, 100000
are starving to death, dying by the
thousands daily. If we let these peo-
pie perish, we will be completing the
work the Turk set out to do. This for
Americans must be an impossible
thing. At this point the war for us is
not yet over.
There are now 100000 helpless,
starving little orphans in Armenia
with no one to look to for aid but
America. This country has never had
a greater opportunity than is hers now
in caring for these 100000 children,
and in building in the heart of Asia a
nation, the influence of which will
permeate throughout the continent.
With Turkey in unrest, all of Asia is
in turmoil. With Asia in arms, Ell,
rope must necessarily become en-
broiled, and when Europe goes to war,
America now knows only too we'll the
result for her in life-blood and ma.
terial resources. If we save these peO-
pie we save the world; let them perish
and the world will be lost to the dread
of war for another generation. 1t is
not going to be a brief task to make
this nation of children self-supporting
and independent, and to instill into
them idealism of government and life,
but it is task decidedly worth while
To save the life of one Of these
orphans costs only seventeen cents a
day or $500 per month. The Near East
Relief is incorporated by special Act
of Congress, and is responsible to
Congress for report of its work. It's
remittances are sent thru the State
Department; its accounts in Asia are
audited by American Consular Agents.
Wisconsin headquarters are located at
27O Plankinton Arcade, Milwaukee
urge upon every household in Wis
| consin, that can spare the money from
it's own requirements, to give help
ing hand to these starving children
to the extent of agreeing to pay each
month the sum necessary to maintain
one young life. They are truly poor
and they belong to the lowly. Said
the Master: GAS We do unto the least
of these, so do We unto Me-"

Governor.

A Joint Debate Proposed.

This is from Freeport, H.:
"The Freeport Chamber of Com
merce today invited Gov. Cox and
Senator Harding to engage in a joint
debate on the league of nations here
e an" Douglas s debate hare in is5s.1
What meeting that would be!
Could Freeport hold the crowd? Could
it feed the crowd9 Could the rail
roads, the automobiles and the air
craft, combined, transport the crowd ?
And would not the great majority of
the crowd assembled have to trust to
the newspapers for the story of the
debate9 Only few comparatively
word.
Mr.. Lincoln and Judge Douglas
were candidates for the Senate, with
the presidency the ultimate goal.
Judge Douglas won the senatorship,
and two years later Mr.. Lincoln won
the presidency.
In the campaign for the presidency
the two men did not meet in joint
debate. Each had his hands full. and
was busy with matters which a joint
debate would not have remedied.
Mr. Lincoln had won his nomina-
ton over Mr.. Seward, and the Seward
men at the start were not very en-
thusiastic for the ticket They had
to acquire taste for it. This, in the
end, they did.
Judge Douglas was leading fac
ton, not a party. Slavery had at last
divided the democracy, and John C.
Breckenridge was leading the slave
division.
Judge Douglas was a great debater-
considered the democracy's greatest
debater of that day. And yet when
he and Mr.. Lincoln had finished their
tour he confessed very frankly that
his opponent had given him all he
could do, and little more than he
desired. He supported Mr.. Lincoln's
war policies, but died during the
great conflict.
