SEEKS MONEY

American Who Flew From
Turks With Refugees
Tells of Needs.

A remarkable story of the ro-
mantle career of 10000 Assyrians
and several thousand Armenians in
the refugee camp at Bacuba. Meso-
potamia, will be related today by
DIR. Isaac Yonan. twenty years a
professor of medicine at the Amer
lean college at Urmia, Persia, and
now representing the cause of
Near East relief organization.
DR.. Yonan will speak at the First
Church, Tenth and
G streets northwest. this morning
at 1890 o'clock: at the Mt. Vernon
Methodist Episcopal Church, Ninth
street and Massachusetts, and New
York avenues northwest, at noon;
and again at the First Congrega-
tional at p. m.
DR.. Yonan, with his two sons,
aged fourteen and eighteen. took an
active part in the war from the first
to the last. A 50O-mile march or
$4,000 Assyrian men. women and
children to escape the numbering
Turk, during which 10000 died OF
starvation, thirst, disease. and at
the hands of the pursuing Turks.
constitutes a graphic portion of the
tale DIR. Yonan will include in his
story of the refugees at Bacuba.
When the Russian collapse came, in
1917. and the Assyrians and other Near
East peoples were thrown open to the
marauding Turks and Huns, a valiant
little army of Assyrians and Arme-
mans organized and. with little mu-
nitions or other supplies, fought four
teen battles with the Turks. After
seven long months of terrible siege,
the Assyrian army. outnumbered ten
to one. its supplies exhausted. and
expected British help not arriving,
The miserable march OF
the refugees from Urmia to the Brit
ish lines at Hamadan. which required
days. was started at
July %. 1918.
Arrived at Hamadan, they found
in the land. The British told
them to push on to Bagdad. twenty
days march away. The refugee camp
at Bacuba is not far from Bagdad.
The refugees have been cared for by
the British. but now help Is needed
from the Near East Relief to aid them
in establishing homes.

osfty and Willingness to give all the
boys an equal show.
Had our Government done as IL
should have done as soon as the armi-
stice was signed, or before, and
promptly enacted legislation that
would have opened opportunity for
all demobilized soldiers and war
workers TO get employment there
would have been no need OF a bonus
bill and in all human probability no
call for one from the men who served.
But the hardship and embarrassment
that has resulted to ex-soldiers from
the failure OF the Government to open
opportunities for employment has
made the payment OF at least 5000
bonus to many of them an urgent
necessity at this time. in this second
winter OF unemployment, uncertainty
and hardship and the ever-climbing
cost Of living facing them.
These returned soldiers are no
mendicants seeking a gift of little
money. Give these 100000 veterans
fair play and an equal opportunity on
the millions OF acres OF unused lands
OF the country where they can employ
labor and they will want no money.
They will produce ten billion dollars
of wealth every years for themselves
and the nation.
But the enactment of a fair and
just land law for soldiers is big
problem in legislation that for many
reasons will take much time to &C
complish. In the interim they need
the $500 bonus-this little help from
their country. which they have help

TOXIC Foreign Office
May Ask Delay If
California Acts.

TOXIC, September % (by the AS
sociated Press).-Authoritie at
the Japanese foreign office declined
to discuss negotiations with the
United States relative to anti-Jap-
anese legislation in California. All
they will say is that everything
possible is being done to find an
amicable and successful solution of
the problem. which they admit is
difficult.
In well informed circles there
is an impression that the plan of
proposing a joint commission to
study the subject is considered as
one possible means of reaching an
adjustment. 1t is remarked here
that precedents exist for such pro-
cedure, the Newfoundland fisheries
and Alaskan sealing questions be-
ing cited
Should the referendum measures
be carried in California, it is be-
lieved. the first step of the Japa-
nese government would be to ask
Washingtn to postpone the opera
tion of the laws. pending official
negotiation, as Toxic cannot. of
course, negotiate with California.
Responsible circles voice the
conviction that Washington is sim
cerely desirous of reaching sat
isfactory settlement of this ques-
ton, which Japan regard; as of
great Importance because it affects
the rights of her people residing in
friendly country.
Newspapers have reported that
Japan would seek to revive the
racial equality proposal made dur
ing the peace conference at Ver-
sailles. but the foreign office re-
fuses to male any comment.
