u. S. ARMY HEAD
ASKS ARMENIAN AID

Washington. - Major General
James G. Hartford, recently ap-
pointed General Pershing's assistant
Chief of Staff, has gone on record in
support of the work of the Near East
Relief in Armenia. He says, in a
letter to the Near East Relief:
"Of all the heart-breaking distress
that exists in other countries, / be-
lieve hat the Near East situation
should most appeal to our charitable
people. There are many thousands
of helpless orphans-children of
Christian parents in a Moslem land,
who must be helped by our people
If they r to- survive. The Ar
menians have preserved their race,
their religion and their language I'M
der conditions of distress for over a
thousand years. They are worthy
of a better fate than to perish, and
l believe that will be their fate with
out substantial financial and moral
support from the good people of our
country.
~. G.. HARTFORD,
Major General. U. S. Army"
General Harbord is one of the
trustees of the Near East Relief or
~ganization, now making a general ap-
peal for funds to continue its work
among the destitute of Bible lands.

KING AND QUEEN OF GREECE
Near East Relief organization, 1
Madison Ave-, New York City. Her
message reads:
deeply touched your great kind
ness towards Greek war sufferers In
Straits Area and Asia Minor. Thank
you all most sincerely.
" At the same time, the Greek queen
sent her check to DR.. Barton, Chair
man of the Near East Relief Commit
tee. for 1000 francs as a contribu-
ton to what she termed the "beauti-
full work" of feeding, clothing and
housing the more than 10000 little
children who have come under the
care of the Near East Relief during
the past year.
Besides Queen Sophie, Admin al P.
Coundouriotis, of the Royal Hellenic
Navy. who was regent of Greece fol
lowing the death of the late King
| Alexander, on October %, last, has
also cabled to express the gratitude
of the Greek people for the aid fur
nished the Christian populations OF
Turkey by the Near East Relief.
More than 1920 100000 was raised
among the Greeks of the United
States, in two weeks, and sent to the
Near East by the Near East Relief.
to be used in helping the widows and
orphans rendered destitute by the
continuation of disturbed conditions
in the former Ottoman Empire. The
funds of the Near East Relief are
gathered by private subscription not
only among Americans, but among
the Armenians and Greeks In the
United States, whose countrymen in
Turkey and Transcaucasia have been
through indescribable suffering.
In an official report to Charles v.
Vickrey, General Secretary Of the
Near East Relief, Miss Glee Hastings,
of Spencer, Iowa, describes the pitt
able condition of ems Of thousands
of homeless, starving, h~alf-naked
refugees, driven from their homes in
the war area, and huddled in stables
and out-houses, or on the bare
ground, for lack of shelter.
Most of the refugees are country
people with almost nothing except
the clothes on their backs, stupefied
and dazed by their misfortunes.
Bread is given only to women and
children at the rate of one-half loaf
for a person, each day. The milk is
reserved for the babies and sick. The
refugees sit around, huddled up
against the walls-women with dull,
sad faces, little children that are blue
and pinched with the cold, and too
m~iserably ~lifeless to cry. One family
of five sleeps at night on a bare stone
floor, under one thin, ragged half
cotton blanket. In one room several
women are wasting away with tuber-
culosis; in another are some severe
eye cases, including two young blind
girls, who have no n in the world
to care for them. The overflow from
these buildings live in a wooden shed
with the walls and floors gaping with
holes where the wood has rotted
away and in tents improvised from
rags and pieces of carpet"
A nationwide appeal Is being
made to carry on this work, checks
to be sent to Cleveland H. Dodge,
Treasurer, 1 Madison Avenue, New
York City.

WORK AT SHIP YARDS

Reports are that there will be busy
winter at the ShipyardS, particularly at
the big steel yard where there are
prospects of a quantity of work in re-
building locomotives. Last week the
Manitowoc Ship Building corporation
delivered to the Indiana Harbor Belt
Railway three big freight engines that
had been rebuilt and also two engines
that had been overhauled for northern
logging companies. There arrived at
the yards one day last week five big
locomotives, the property of the Chi
cago and Great Western road, Two
are of the Santa Fe type of passenger
engines and three are Mikado freight
engines. They will be entirely rebuilt.
More are expected
The winter fleet will be smaller than
is usual, but the company is assured of
considerable repair work
