destruction, wrought by a war that
has never ended and that today is not
even ended. 1t Is starvation following
pestilence, and stalking hand in hand
with death from exposure, from vio-
lence or from disease.
I'm 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 nightmare. Unless they
are succOred 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 1,600 years, and to become
pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the
generosity of strangers for life itself.
In Cilicia, $1,000 Armenian refugees
have crowded into the coast regions
seeking safety from the anarchy which
reigns in 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 7,790,490 Armenians the re-
mainder of n nation of 100000, who
have neither government, country,
homeland, shelter or hope of regenera-
ton, save that which lies In the great
heart of America.

Save the Children!
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 I'D
the nucleus of new generation in the
Near East, with the little children
that 1t 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-

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?
"The Near East Relief is appealing
to the American people for the money

little ones alive and to save this
martyred Christian people. Sixty dol

3 IN FORGERY TRAP
HELD in HEAVY BAIL
100000 Fixed for Each to
Cover Amount Alleged to
Have Been Stolen.

w. E. Roosevelt Alleged
to Have Been Used.
MAY REACH $500, 900
Police Say They Have Caught
Resourceful Band, All With
Criminal Records.
MAY REACH 100000

An indication of the importance of
the capture Saturday of three alleged
forgers was seen yesterday when they
were arraigned before Magistrate Rob-
ert c. Ten Eyck in Jefferson Market
Court and held in 100000 bail each.
Bail that high in such cases is so un-
usual that 1t Is almost unheard OF.
The men are Terry Tellergrino of
% Bedford street Alexander J. Ma
honey Of PIT Walworth street. Brook
lyn, and John Ryan of 744 Greenwich
street. They were arrested Saturday
after an exciting chase and held with
out bail. One was caught in a subway
station, another in a manhole and
third was chased to a housetop before
he finally was captured.
In asking that bail be fixed at $780,
200 each, Henry Goodman, Assistant
District Attorney told Magistrate Ten
Eyck he wanted the bonds to cover the
amount of money the prisoners are al
legged to have obtained through forgerfes.
In fact the police assert that the three
probably will be found to have COM
nitted forgerles amounting to 100000.
Inspector Coughlin said that all three
have records for burglary. forgery and
pocket picking Their activities during
the last few months led to a score Of
detectives being placed on their trail
Mrs J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. W.
Emlen Roosevelt are among the prom1-
nent persons. according to Mr.. Good
man, whose checks have been raised or
whose names have been forged on
checks.
Mr.. Goodman said that at least sixty
banks, and POSSIBLY as many as one hun
dred, were the victims Of Tellegrino,
Mahoney and Ryan. They are described
n experts both in the writing Of false
signatures and the planning and execu-
ton OF elaborate schemes. Their meth
DDS, though old for the most part. are
said to have been very effective. They
would steal checks from mail boxes, &C
cording to Mr.. Goodman, and then, by
carefully practising writing the sigma
ture, would reproduce it on a blank
check obtained from the bank on which
the original was drawn.
When one Of their checks was ques-
toned at bank a telephone inquiry
70 the office of the drawer OF the
original check would be answered by
confederate who posed as a telephone
inspector. This confederate, while os-
tensibly testing the telephone, would
notify the bank that the check was all
right.
The arrest Of the three was made
after Detective Sylvester Brierton. In
charge of squad of detectives from
Police Headquarters and Pinkerton's,
watched the cashing of a raised check
ut the American Union Bank, 10 East
Twenty-second street The man who
cashed the check was trailed a short
distance and was seen to join the other
two. One OF them caught sight Of the
detectives and the chase which resulted
in their capture then ensued.
II was said at the District Attorneys
office that an indictment Is expected
against the three to-day

AUDIENCE IGNORANT
OF FIRE IN THEATRE
Sit in Patience While All
Broadway Gathers to Watch
Firemen.

Fire started at 10 40 o'clock last
night in the property room of the New
Amsterdam Theatre, where sally" is
playing. but nobody in the audience
knew anything about it until they went
out on the street after the show was
over and saw the firemen packing up to
leave.
All Broadway, however, knew that
something was happening on the inside.
The crowds which surge nightly along
Forty-second street were startled when
they saw the fire engines arrive and
the police had a hard job keeping
clear space in front Of the theatre. Fire
apparatus was son both Forty-second
and Forty-first streets and there was an
air Of impending tragedy about the
building, but on the inside the full house
simply sat and wondered foolishly why
the orchestra played so long during the
intermission and why the curtain never
went up.
The property room is over the stage
on the Forty-frst street side. When the
intermission came the stage hands dis
covered that the automatic sprinklers
had been running for some time and
that a stream of water was coming
down from the room. Climbing up the
iron ladder they found a fire had been
making pretty goodheadway. An alarm
was sent in and the Fire Department
answered with a roar that made all the
white light district believe they were
about to see a mighty confiagration.
Somebody tipped off the leader Of the
orchestra and he passed the order to
his gallant men to play until the ship
went down. The firemen fought both
fire and water back in the property
room. but the curtain kept the smoke
from reaching the audience
When 1t was seen that the fire was
under control the fans were started to
sweep the back stage of smoke and Leon
Enrol and Marilynn Miller, with tue
others Of Mr.. Ziegfeld's cast came out
to put on the last act Then the au-
dience got up and went out to the street.
