Call to the Children.

II HE NEAR EAST RELIEF has taken over
the famine region of the Caucasus and ex-
IRENE southern Russia. 1t is useless to picture
the distress in all that region and in Armenia. 1t
could not be exaggerated. 1t is quite the death
of people, unless help goes to them in generous
quantity Armenia could have cared for herself
this winter if she had not been robbed of her
crops by the Bolshevik and the Turks.
This is children'S relief week for children. The
N. z. R. is asking funds to support its orphan
ages where the children gathered. The ex-
pense is nearly all food. The rest is there.
Washington's quota is 1866 children, and the
children of the city are working and saving
$4,000 of them-to their lives. On Friday
all of them are asked to take their gifts to the
schools and possible these will be
translated into food and shipped for distribution
from Contantinople.
1t is a. good lesson for children. They learn
to work. save and give. They will be impressed
with how much they have, even the poorest
of them than the children OF that distant region.
1t will make them thoughtful OF others and realize
that this is not country set apart from the rest
of the world to grow fat while other countries
grow lean, but that Americans have common
responsibility and obligation with all other nations,
as to all others.

ARMY AIRSHIP c.
At ABERDEEN.

Through the efforts Of the Ord

airship hangar Of sufficient capacfry
to house a C-type airshIp or APP
proximately los. 900 cubic feet Of
gas capacity and having a useful
lift in excess OF 1000 pounds az
bombing attitudes, has been erected
at Aberdeen. Md. At the present
time the airship CO Is housed in
this hangar and is successfully
operating therefrom. A suitable
bombing rack and suitable sights
are being installed on this ship for
the dropping of bombs up TO 1000
pounds in weight.
The purpose Of the Ordnance De-
partment in requesting the assign
ment Of this ship TO Aberdeen was
to carry on extensive tests with
bombs. Being able 70 hover and
thereby capable Of making a very
high percentage OF hits, the air
ship in this respect is superior TO
planes which have heretofore car
ried out experimental bombing with
larger sized bombs

Among these refugees, Mr.. Crane
said. are many former college pro-
fessors-men of great erudition and
ability. Some of these have been
taken care of in other countries
The rest certainly should be, he
stated, until conditions are ripe for
their return to Russia.
The former Minister made the
cross-continental trip in a party of
FIVE. When asked of his treatment
by the Soviet government, he re-
piled that he had so little to do with
1t that he could not speak authori-
tatively on its attitude toward
Americans.
"The starvation there is very
real, however. But it is more than
a mere lack of food. 1t is intellec-
tual, artistic, and spiritual starva-
ton as well. The great era of Rus
sian art, literature. and drama
promised at the outset of the Soviet
regime did not materialize"
Mr.. Crane disclaimed clairvoyant
powers, and hence could not predict
the end of Lenine's reign. The
present is more than enough to oc-
cupy ones attention, he said. 1t Is
Infinitely worse than the imperial
regime, even of the days of Ivan
the Terrible.
Here. we think that 1t takes
years of apprenticeship to make a
good carpenter; still more years to
make an able lawyer or physician.
But. according to the Soviet idea,
anybody in the world can become q
politician or statesman. and govern
vast empire. with no training at
all. The result Is Russia today"
