PRESIDENT ENDORSES THE
NEAR EAST RELIEF APPEAL

hingtOn.-President Harding has
given his hearty endorsement to the
appeal being made by Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood on behalf Of the Near East
Relief, Madison Avenue, New York
City, for a nationwide Lenten Sacri-
flee Offering to save the starving
Christians of the Near East.
The Presidents letter reads:
"There ought to be no cessation or
relaxation of our sympathetic Ameri-
can efforts to be of service to these
stricken people. One can well believe
that they will not survive if we with
draw the relief which has heretofore
been so generous from the private
American purse. 1t has seemed to me
that all we have done has borne divi-
dends tenfold in the consciousness that
we have done an humane thing for 4
people well deserving our generous
sympathy.
Il wish you the very greatest sue
cess in furthering the great relief
movement to which you are now giving
your attention

Lansing insists that, to make the
