are volunteers serving with high
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet It,
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field of
famine and desolatlon. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens of thousands of women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept
alive and whom they are determined
to save for better future.
A dozen cables are on my desk from
various centers In Armenia, Anatolia
Cilicia and Syria pleading plteously
for the lives of hundreds of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty-five thou
sand refugees Constantlnople alone :"
Refugees aocking into Aleppo;"
Twenty thousand refugees Mt Ismid :"
Zone hundred thousand people at
Alexandropol will starve unless relief
is provided" :" Refugees arriving from
Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked,
destitute Urgent need to save most
of them from DEATH" Two hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
Alexandropol Severe winter adding
to Distress"
Above all towers the mute appeal of
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless. whom these Amer
lean relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. If we do not provide,
they perish! And with them dies the
hope of a New Near East.
The Easter season Is here-the sea-
son that commentaries the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America is known
as Christian nation. She is also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name of Christian II we turn
deaf ear TO the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, in behalf Of the Near
East Relief has sent forth broadcast
for Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Landsf

100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation OF effort In the
history of American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out of the
disaster which threatens 3,50c, 900
European children this winter. To the
headquarters of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track of war; will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When DIR. Livingston Farrand, chair
man of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, returned from
recent trip abroad his report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the feeding stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort. The Pro-
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
OF starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life of Europe is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power of American charitable
thought and effort behind 1t, has been
formed. 1t consists of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee; Wilbur X. Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty. represent
ing the knights of Columbus; DR.. c.
V. Hibbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
1t is the purpose of the Council to
raise 100000, In an appeal center
Ing at the Christmas holidays, TO the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met In every town and
community of the nation. 1t is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
cooperating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitally necessary funds.
or the amount sought. S23,000,00O will
be used for basic food. For every one
of these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, in the form
of transportation. labor, guards, cleri-
cal help cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining s10,00o.O00 of the fund is
just as urgently needed for medical
service TO the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising of the childsaving fund
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencies. keep a constant
eye on the administration of America's
merciful gift, in order that there shall
be no wastage and NJ tendency toward
pauperlzaton.
