Just what Is the Near East Relief Is the question that many people are asking whose interests have beer

 Most of the children are cared for in 229 American supported orphanages. The first ceremony in receiving these starved, almost naked children, Is to clean them up. They are not only ema- ciated, but dirty with sores and yer min-69 hospitals and over 6.000 beds are kept full of the little sufferers
 But the children keep changing. Last year they were all thin and pitiful; ; now Ii Is the newcomers who are thin. The orphans who have been from six months to a year in American care are well fed and well clothed.
 Best of all for a new Near East which surely must come out of all this distress, every child old enough Is be- ing taught a trade which will make him self supporting.
 They are a thrifty lot, these little parentless exiles. From their scant store of bread they always carry poi HUI III sthoii onS apcoi ''cAi necks-they fear the day of another killing, another drive into the desert
 They horde the shoes sent from America until snow flies-they remem- Der their barefoot pain in the snows last spring.
 They cling to their new found friends. Every day other little waifs find place in the orphanages and are told of the generous people of the United States Soon the entran nces will be crowded with children frozen out from their temporary summer quarters

 Where Money Goes.
 Funds for relief purposes are dis 6fbuted in two ways: First. the vari- GUS relief centers are authorized by the Executive Committee toNdraw sighf drafts on New York for specific amounts each month; second, by sup, piles purchased in America. the najol portion of which are shipped to the committee warehouses at Derindje and the remainder either to Beyrouth or Batoum.

 According to Mir Hemphill. the need for American help to see the destitute peoples of the Near East through the crisis of present conditions Is greater now than ever before on account of the uncertainty as to the future. the trucu lence of the Turkish government ane the danger of bolshevism from Russia which threatens to engulf the whole O Armenia.
