LEST We FORGET

A few years ago, when, in the
darkest moments of the war, the
Germans were passing through
Paris, and the Turks under Ger
man tutelage were cutting their
way to the East, two. nations
came to the rescue.- On the
Western front American man
hood broke the deadlock. In
Asia Minor the small Armenian
army threw itself across the en-
emy's path and saved Asia to the
Allies.
Today the children of. this
brave eastern army are on the
verge of starvation. More than
100000 orphans have been res
cued by American funds, but for
each of these fortunate children
there are three helpless waits
hiding in mountain caves, or
ruined hoveis and feeding upon
grass or refuse. d
Surrounded now by enemies
the Turks and Kurds-part of the
Armenian Republic has been
overrun and thousands of people
who were reestablishing them
selves have been driven from
their homes. The roads to all
large centers are jammed with
refugee women and children,
shoeless, almost naked and with.
out food.
The Near East Relief is appeal
ing to Arizona to care for 1,50C
children located in the orphan.

ly helpless, no government to
grant them aid, no fathers to
give them bread, no mothers to
love them and nurse them tc

Five dollars a month, sixty
dollars a year, will. provide one
of these children with three
meals a day. Bread with tea,
sometimes soup, even an occas'
ional onion, is the diet three
times a day for these helpless
children. We, cannot give then
less. They depend upon Americt
for their very life.
Besides the orphans, there are
some 500, 900 Young women anc

BOY.
SQOU S
Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts Of America)
WHY | AM A SCOUT

The following statement, written by
boy scout, appeared In Chicago
newspaper In connection with a cam
Palgn for scout funds:
u am boy scout because believe
In the doctrine Of the Boy Scouts OF
America-America first. believe In
the service to others which the boy
scouts have made the premier Issue,
and l believe that the future Of this
government, If not Of the world, rests
In the hands Of the boy scouts Of to-
day.
"But what have the boy scouts done
and why should they be helped? Dur
Ing the war they were ready to an
gwer the summons Of their country at
any time. Being too young to shoulder
gun, they set to work at home to
raise money for the Red Cross, to sell
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps,
only In the last few days Of the cam
paign, to the few who were not
touched before. They were ready to
respond to their country In giving first
aid, carrying messages, or doing any
thing they were called upon to do. For
this they received only word OF
qualification from their government,
but they were not after praise.
1.-THE boy scout Is trained to rescue
a person In danger, and to apply lirst
aid to his wounds until the doctor
comes. The doctrine Of service Is ever
prominent, for the good turn daily Is
put into practice all over. A scout
can be trusted and will never break
his word or commit n theft. A scout
Is loyal and Obedlent to the right, kind
to dumb dnimals, Of service to man,
friendly toward others and cheerful
in .bis actions, He has to pass certain
tests which give him greater knowl-
edge and a broader view.
'"You are now being asked to con-
tribute some money to the boy scouts
IN order that they may continue their
good work. What Is your return? A
safe government for your children,
based on the principles Of love, un-
self1shness and common sense. There
need be no fear for the future Of
America II placed In the hands Of the
boy scouts"
