"A NATION SAVED

 CLEVELAND H. DODGE
New York Business Man De- soribes Vast Armenian Work
 of Near East Relief.

Cleveland H. Dodge, New York bank CT and business man, director of the National City Bank, and treasurer ea The Russell Sage Foundation and of the Near East Relief, declares that "a nation has been saved by American philanthropy, and the generosity of the American people through the Near East Relief. In It's work for the Ar menians.
 ''The lowest official estimate indi- cates that one million persons are liv' ing today who would not be alive had it not been for this relief" MT. Dodge continued, T have an autograph letter from Dr. H. Ohandjanian. president of the Armenian Republic, in which he writes: America literally saved us from starvation.'
 "Wholly aside from adults who have been saved from starvation, we today
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1921-02-04

have in orphanages and elsewhere un- der our care 10000 homeless, father less or motherless children who are absolutely dependent upon us. This is exclusive of 63 hospitals with 6,552 beds, 12S clinics, rescue homes for girls and unnumbered thousands of refugees who are being helped through our industrial relief and in other ways.
 "The Near East Relief has during the past four or five years commission ed and sent to the Near East more than 1000 American relief workers, of whom 800 are still iR the field, all of them working at great financial sacri- fce-the standard of salary being s5e per month and maintenance-and many of them facing great personal danger and hardship in the perform. ance of their life-saving service. A score of them have died from typhus or other diseases more or less related to their faithfulness in the perform. ance of relief service.
 "Nor Is that all.. We have raised and disbursed during war times and in a war-torn area, in large measure under enemy control, more than $41,- 100000 in cash, and, including flour Red Cross and other supplies admin istered by our agents, a total of cash and supplies in excess of $5O,OOO,O 900 The official reports show that on June 30, 1920, we had in orphanages 54, ,00G children, and that we are partially supporting outside of the orphanages 56039 children, making a total of no, GOO boys and girls now under the care of the Near East Relief"
 MT. Dodge considers the work Of the Near East Relief one of the most stupendous undertakings of disinter ested philanthropy the world has evel seen.
 "In countries whose population to .tals more than 3OOOO,OO0 souls, Ameri. can idealism exemplified by the work of the Near East Relief constitutes ! today torch of enlightenment and SD influence for peace throughout the whole Near East" he maintains. "Oul American ideal of liberty, industry and | helpfulness has brought us as people happiness, prosperity and fulfllment 1, Out of the fullness of this heritage we are furnishing a faithful and un. daunted Christian people the brotherly aid which will enable them to reach the same fulfllment that God has given us.

directoring MT. Staab has directed numerous productions in the West for the past eight years, every one or which has been huge success.
 We need only to mention Easy Street" the Vagabond's last years at traction to. demonstrate MT. Staab's ability, he having been director of music and dancing of that production. This year he comes to us as Director in chief, and we are expecting even greater thiigs of him.
 The success of a musical comedy depends upon it's directors as we'll as the actors. The name musical comedy would imply that the success or fail ure of such a production may depend largely upon it's musical instructors. The Vagabond Players have secured the services of Mrs. Gene Burnham Routledge as direcrUr of music. Mrs. Routledge is especially fitted to fill this highly important position, both through training and experience. She is a graduate of the Pomona Conser- vatory of Music and Expression Here she specialized in Glee Club work and has met with wonderful success in her chosen vocation since graduation Perhaps. her best known accomplishment was the organizing and training of the famous Oakland Girls Glee Club" which organization gave as high as six consecutive con certs.
 Among the fifty people comprising the Vagabond Players there is not a poor voice, each character being specially selected by the director from among only those whose voice and expression is adapted to the part. The songs are catchy and have brought forth encore after encore whenever | they have been sung before an aud. ence.
