destruction, wrought by a war that
has never ended and that today Is not
even ended. 1t Is starvation following
pestilcnce, and stalking hand in hand
with death from exposure, from vio-
lence or from disease.
"In the mountains between Kars
and Alexandropol there are 100000
human beings without clothing food or
shelter in the bitter winter, who are
wandering from place to place like
people in a nightmare. Unless they
are succeed before the end of an
other month, they will all be dead.
In southern Persia, the remnant of the
ancient family of Chaldean Christians
have been forced to renounce forever
all hope of ever returning to the home
land where they have dwelt and flour
ished for 1000 years, and to become
pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the
generosity of strangers for life itself.
In Cnicia, $4,000 Armenian, refugees
have crowded into the coast regions
seeking safety from the anarchy which
reigns Ia the interior, in terror for
their lives. They live from day to
day on the food which is given them
In the soup kitchens established by
the Near East Relief. Scattered
throughout the Near East, there are
some 7,790490 Armenians, the re-
mainder Of nation of 100000, who
have neither government, country,
homeland, shelter or hope of regenera-
tion, save that which lies in the great
heart of America.
"It is a tragedy so stupendous that
it is difficult for us to grasp its mean
ing. A whole nation, living, Christian
people, face to face with extermina-
tion today, unless we help. We shall
see an entire nation disappear from
the face of the earth before our eyes
If we withhold our hand now, when
the call comes to us to save by giving,
or by inacion to condemn to death.
Save the chiIdrenI
"Perhaps we cannot save all the
grown people Of this Oldest Christian
nation in the world. But at least we
can save the little children who hold
the future in their hands. They have
wronged no one. They have harmed
no one And they have suffered
through the precious years of child
hood calvary of agony and wretched-
ness. For three years the Near East
Relief, an American organization, in
corporated by Congress, has built up
the nucleus of new generation in the
Near East, with the little children
that it has taken In from the roadside
and barren places, and nursed back to
health, fed, clothed, housed and edu-
Gated, in the name of the American
people who have furnished the funds
for this great work.
"This has been our signal contribu-
ton to the worlds future peace-that
tens Of thousands of these little ones
shall all their lives look to us with
gratitude and faith. 1t is a seed of
world brotherhood that we have sown.
Shall we let it die now?
ssThe Near East Relief is appealing
to the American people for the money
to go<on with this work-to keep these
little ones alive and to save this
martyred Christian people. Sixty dol
lars per year-$10 per month-feeds a
child. We have taken this great re-
sponsibility upon us. A whole nation
looks to us in faith and trust.
I'VE cannot betray them now"

The old Shellpot schoolhouse was
built in 1898. About eight years
ago, the State Board urged the resi-
dents Of the district to improve the
school so as to make 1t suitable
place to house the children. Acting
under authority given in the school
code, the school house was closed
by the County Board and during the
past two yaers. children in the dis
trict have been obliged TO go TO the
Mount Pleasant school on Philadel-
phia pike. This made It necessary
for parents residing in the north
end of the district. to send their
children about a mile and a half to
the trolley. Many Of the children
were obliged to travel along the dan
gerous Philadelphia pike. Others
were sent to the Wilmington schools.
When the old school building was
closed one OF the heaters was remov-
ed to another school, one OF the
commissioners was obliged to re-
move the phonograph to his house
for safe keeping, and the building
was left to the mercy of vandals who

Postal Savings Card

The United States postal savings sys-
tenn is marking its tenth anniversary
by issuing a new postal savings card.
which will displace the Decent postal
savings card In use since the estah-
iishment of the system January !, 1911.
The new card will be furnished free
Of cost and when ten 10-eent postal
savings stamps have been affixed to IL
it will be accepted at any depository
office as a deposit of 81 or IL may be
redeemed in cash. The outstanding
feature of the new card is the transla-
ton into twenty-four foreign lam
guagcs of the statement that the faith
of the United States is solemnly
pledged to the payment Of deposits
made with the system.
The service was first established al
forty-eight postoffices, one in each
state, January j, 1911. and, although
hampered by many restrictions as to
rate of interest and maximum amount
allowed on deposit, it has shown re-
markable progress. Postmaster Cen
eral Burlcson announces that the
amount on deposit today is more than
SEE, coo, 600 and its depositors have
long since passed the one-half million
