ing their crops or laid waste their fields
before the grain has ripened and been
gathered in.
"After two years of American relief
activity it seemed last fall as if we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care OF the children we
had gathered into our orphanages. But
then came the new invasion, crops were
tramplcd down in the fields, live stock
was carried off, and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save all OF the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
in this territory, but we certainly cannot
dcsert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in DIR orphanages

Anatoia, Cilicia and other devastated
areas OF the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, 5000 OF these
children died out of total Of 10000 in

are absolutely dependent upon aid from

withheld.

reduce our program, but prompt action
is necessary now OF for thousands there
will be no next year"

government prison on McNeil's island,
In Puget Sound, amid a fusiiade OF
bullets.
Twice In his criminal career, before
he was finally placed behind the bars
on the supposed impregnable NcNeirs

shrewdest men the government could
set to guard him on the way to his
prison. Twice he joked with the man

twice he laughed when he was recap

It is set on a desolate isle in Puget
Sound with a wide stretch Of water
running at mill race speed between
island and mainland.
Gardner had been in prison for six
weeks when, on Labor day, the prison
ers turned out to watch baseball
game between two teams of fellow
prisoners. They were in the prison
yard, cut off from liberty by a high
barbed-wire fence, with towers at the
corners, in which sat watchful men
with loaded rifles and orders to shoot
to kill.
The game went on and the guards
became interested in the play. Sud-

Stone AGE PEOPLE
ON SOUTH SEA ISLE

London. July 1o-People who
are still living in the manner OF
the Stone Age are found on Ben
nell Island in the Solomon group.

cote Deck, a missionary.
DR.. Deck says there are only
about 500 inhabitants. and be-
cause of their isolation, through
lack of ships anchorage, even
their dialect has never been stu
died.
The natives only had nipple
ments and weapons OF stone and
wood when Dr. Deck first visited
the island. They showed great
eagerness to barter home made
for anything made of
iron.
The men are great fighters
and wrestlers. Their throwing
spears have points made of hui
man leg and arm bones, and tip
ped with a bone splinter design
ed to break off in the wound"
says DR.. Deck. "They seemed to
feel keenly the nonotony OF their
isolation and showed a settled
melancholy, both in their faces
and the cadence of their voices.
Their only sort of music, toI
which they dance, consists in the
-uneless beating of a log" The
-eeth of flying foxes, which
warm in the caves on the island,
seem to be the only form of cur
-enCy known there.
