BUNDLE Day RUSH

MILLIONS ARE DESTITUTE

This is the eve of ''Bundlc Day
when the residents Of Philadelphia and
its suburbs are to decide il they will
help to preserve the lives Of 1.O00. 900
Armenian families who have escaped
slaughter by the Turks. only to put
themselves in danger of death from cold
md hunger in the mountains of the
Levant.
In more than 400 public and pri-
vate schools of the city and the Main
Line receiving stations have been set
up for bundles Of warm clothing sent
in the care Of the children. Other sta
tions hav~ heen opened in all branches
Of the y. W. G. A.. in some church

According to returning travellers the
need of the refugees who have taken tc
this country cannot be exaggerated.
Many Are Naked
Edward Fox. a field worker, recent

found in snow filled gully 10000
men. women and children who were GOV.

entirely naked.

Commission. made his final statement
regarding Bundle Day
1T should be remcmbercd.' he said,
that the clothing collected tomorrow
Is the last that can be got 10 these
people before he mex winer Is over.
Failure on the part of our people to be
generous once more means for thou
sands of these Armenians' death from
cold.
II have, however. not the slightest
doubt that the people here will un-
derstand and give. In the last coilec-
ton. some eight months ago. Phila-

other section Of the country. ! am

Of the major results of the Washing.
ton Conference. Already the Chinese
Government has requested the Powers
to postpone the inquiry looking to aboli-
ton Of extra -territoriality. Pekin has
suggested that the International Com
mission which was to examine that
solution Of which the Chinese lay great
stress. shall for the present make no
preparations to carry out It's duties. 1t
was expected the Commission might get
to work in China during the coming
summer.
The Powers are hardly likely TO look
with favor upon any early withdrawal
of their troops from China. while the
scheme for reforms of the Chinese tariff
system and postal service also must
inevitably be delayed pending res,tmp.

central seat Of government.

clined to be a Chinese delegate at the

that General WI Pei Flu, scenting
from that episode an impending alliance
between Canton and Chang. decided to
