wife, Lady Anne, and french Esther
Araxie Azgapetian, whose baby eyes
opened upon scenes of horror and later
through them saw much of the suffer-
ings Of the people Of Armenia.
The family are making their tour un-
der auspices of the Near East Relief,
the big organization which has saved
hundreds Of thousands Of the people
In that part of the world from death
by hunger and cold and Is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur
vivors, more than a half million of
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America Is their only hope.
General Azgapetian served CALAMITY
In the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks. His wife, who &C.
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
It was while In this service that her
baby was born In hospital tent during
a battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles In one corner Of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tians returned to Armenia for brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell of conditions and needs In Armenia
Is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria.
Turkey and Persia are more than 25O,-
600 orphans, helpless little victims OF
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
is a bowl of hot bean soup every day.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup
porting. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
die of starvation unless American AID
is continued.

Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become Independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves And the Christian
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people OF
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
81 hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results"

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Nervousness over
bearish opinions current regarding the
economic outlook had a depressing ef-
feet on to-day's wheat market, notwith-
standing export business on a large
scale. The close was heavy. at the same
as yesterdays finish to a cent lower,
with March s1.5S to $1.5SA and May
s1.52A to s1,521a Corn lost Nc to
] &c. and oats &c to &c. In provisions
the outcome varied from 12c. decline to
soc. advance.
1t was clearly shown that the major
ity of traders lacked confidence in the
bull side of the wheat market Even
after the fact was widely known that
to-day's export purchasing of domestic
wheat amounted to 10000 bushels. up
turns in prices failed to hold. A reduc-
ton of 100000 bushels in the esti-
mated surplus of Australian wheat also
counted, but only as a temporary slim
illus. On the other hand, continued no
tice was given to unemployment figures
and other adverse aspects of the bust
ness situation, Liquldating sales by
holders became general in the last hour,
especially after word was circulated that
the Governor of North Dakota would
request farmers to sell rs per cent Of
their wheat to diminish strain on banks.
Corn and oats were ruled mainly by
the action Of wheat. Deferred deliv-
cries of corn touched the lowest price
of this season.
Provisions sympathlzed with grain
weakness. but that influence was partly
offset by late steadiness In the hog
market.

QUAKER CITY BOND BIDS
CHECKED BY LAWYERS

Total bids received yesterday by the
Mayor OF Philadelphia for the offering
OF S7.000.O0O nifty year per cent
bonds were $3.50, 500. including a bid
for 100000 at par for the city sink
ing fund. There was an absence of
syndicate bids, although much figuring
on the issue had been done by Phila-
delphia and New York syndicates
When Kuhn, Loeb * Co and William
A. Read & Co. were informed that the
sale had not been a complete success
they telephoned TO the city authorities
OF Philadelphia and offered to take the
unsold balance of about S1.700.000 at a
substantial price. but the offer could not
be accepted under the legal require
ments, which provide that an unsold
balance must be readvertised. Conse-
quently the amount subscribed for was
allotted and the balance Will be offered
at a later date.
The purpose of the new financing,
which is part Of an authorized amount
Of S50000.000 to $65,000,000. is 10 pro-
vide funds for rapid transit improve
ments as needed. The failure of syndi-
Gates to present bids was not a reflection
on the credit Of the city of Philadelphia,
which has now and always has had a
high credit standing. but 1t was a failure
OF the leading municipal lawyers OF
Philadelphia, who we're consulted. either
to affirm or fail to affirm that the pro-
posed Issue was constitutional.
Bids must be unconditional and per
cent of the bid must be paid in adj
vance Until the lawyers are in posi-
ton to affirm the constitutionality OF
the Offering the syndicates feel It adj
visable to refrain from bidding.

SpecIoI Despatch 10 THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 16.
Passage of a bill to control importh-
ton Of German dyes is more imperative
than ever before, Representative Long
worth (Ohio). who has sponsored such
legislation IN the House since the arrnis-
tice said to-day.
Resumption OF trade with Germany
would allow a huge flood Of dyes to enter
the country at prices that would wreck
the infant American dye industry, he
said In addition to an accumulation or
DIVES in storehouses because of the war,
reports which Mr.. Longworth has re-
ceived show that virtually all German
factories are now running to capacity in
anticipation Of an early entry into the
American markets.
Conferences are being held by Mr..
Longworth and others to determine
whether his bill to provide a license sys-
tenn to prevent importation of German
dyes will be passed at this session. Last
session opposition arose in the Senate
because of the licensing sections which
provide that no importations could De
made except under a Government IL
cense.
Mr.. Longworth believes his dye bill
will be incorporated in any general re-
vision of the tariff that will be made
but since such legislation canot be
passed for nine or ten months he viii
endeavor to have his bill passed at the
short session. It is one of the few Re-
publican measures which President Will
son would be virtually certain to sign,
he having advocated protection of the
American dye industry in two or his
messages to Congress
"The American dye industry has made
rather rapid progress since the war,
said Mr. Longworth to-day but it had
long way to go. 1t was necessary to
build from the Very bottom. At present.
however, the American industry can viz
tually make all dyes with the exception
of few of the highest grade. It's prog
ress and development have been based on
assurances that Congress will grant the
necessary protection. The development
has been a costly process and the fac
tories Of this country are not in a condi-
ton to compete with the flood Of Ger
man dyes which are ready to be sent to
this country.
IF we are to have a dye industry,
whichA has been proved so essential in
time Of war. we must allow the start we
have made to grow. Nothing Is more
imperative and believe the dye bill.
which would keep out German dyes ex-
cept those which are not made in this
country, should be passed at the short
session of Congress, The moment trade
with Germany is opened the German
dyes will be started on their way here
in large quantities"

STANDARD TO DRILL
FOR PHILIPPINE OIL
Wildcat Outfit Is on Way
Refinery in Manila Probable.

To relieve the pressure on It's Call
fornia supplies made by it's Oriental
trade. the Standard Oil Company has
made plans for drilling operations on
the Bondog Peninsula, Island of Luzon,
Philippines. A party of drillers, with
full equipment for validating, includ-
ing tools, boilers, lumber, &C., has been
started for the Pacific possessions of
the United States, the actual drilling
work to be done by the Richmond Pc
troleum Company. the subsidiary which
has been doing the Standards wildcat
work in New Mexico and Colorado.
II the Standard of California is sue
cessful in developing oil in the Philip
pines in quantities sufficient to make
the exploit commercially successful, 1t
will be the only American company pro-
during oil in the Orient The old Stand
ard OIL Company of New Jersey prior
to the dissolution of the trust drilled
in Japan, but subsequently sold all of
its holdings to the Nippon Oil Company,
withdrawing entirely from the Japanese
Empire The Standard of New York
some years ago drilled wildcat wells In
China, but failed to get oil in CONNER
cial quantities and besides was unable
to get satisfactory permanent con-
cession.
iahS WnlcH uePenu upon the outcome
of the drilling operations include the
erection of refinery, probably at Ma
Mia, where 1t Will be the closest one to
the Chinese market, with the exception
OF those in Japan. 1t will also be closer
TO Australia and New Zealand.
1t is the intention to construct roads
In the Philippines. The Bondog PENN
sula is virtual jungle, with no roads
except native carabao trails, and no
equipment can be moved inland until
roads have been built. There is no har-
Dor and all supplies will have to be
transferred by lighters from the steam
er as it lies at the mouth of the Pag-
sanghan River.
