The second vacancy on the board OF

by the resignation of Gwynn Gardner

AMERICAN RELIEF
SUPPLIES RIFLED
EINROUTE TO EAST

CONSTANTINOPLE. September IL
tby the Associated Press).-Supplies
valued at many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been stolen
from the American organization for
relief in the near east recently, ac-
cording to evidence placed before
Charles Allen. American consul here.
These losses have been partly due to
the work of dishonest employees in
Asia Minor and Armenia, but there
also are indications that while the
goods were in transit from the United
states they were subjected to theft.
Cases of condensed milk taken over
from army contract supplies in the
United States have been found to
contain only three-quarters of the
number of cans called for in the bill
Of lading. The spaces in these cases
have been filled with American news
papers of recent date. 1t is related
that on the body of an Armenian
chauffeur who had been shot by ban
dts was found letter from relief
worker to a superior officer. stating
that in one shipment of supplies there
was a shortage of goods valued at
$4,000.
