THERE'S goin' to be many a
l. sad heart at Christmas time.
It's always so. The sleigh bells
tinkle for some of US and the church
bells toll for others. Perhaps there
may be comfort in the thought that
on the day that Jesus came to us
he gathers to Himself the weary
and the blessed. What a Christmas
gift is Death! The passing into
the glory Of the morn-the smooth
ing of the furrowcd brow, the end
of earthly care. In mournful tones
we hear the preacher cell us that
the moment a man begins to live
that moment he begins to die, but
amid the Christmas laughter of our
children we seem to think the mo-
ment nan begins TO die that
moinent he begins to live.

1t is reported that Greece needs
10000, 600 with which to feed her
people this winter. The supply Of
wheat is nearing exhaustion, and there
are no funds to buy more abroad.
What more natural under the circum-
stances than that the United States
should be looked to to supply the
necessary credits? The Greek minis
ter Of supplies declares he does not
see how Greece is to get through the
winter unless there is a loan forth
coming from the American treasury.
Greece is in her present plight be
OF the wars of aggression she
has been waging. Encouraged by
certain other nations, Greek armies
have been in the field for the past two
or three years trying to grab terri
tory from the Turks which the latter
have held for over 500 years. The
attemrt met with dismal failure, and
now the Grcel want the United
States to rcplcnish the stores of food
consumed by their army. Such a
request is not going to be received
with much enthusiasm in this country.

waste their substance in war and de-
pend upon the United States to make

WORLD WAR VETERANS
REFUGEES IN ARMENIA
American Aid Needed for Relief
of Destitute This
Winter.

Several score Of American sx-ser-
vice men, veterans OF the World War,
are among refugees In ruined Armen-
ian farm villages. according to workers
of the Near East Relief.
They returned TO their native homes
from the States In 1920. hoping to find
or, In some cases, wives and
from whom they had becn
cut OF by tho outbreak OF tho world
war in 1914. They came. each with a
thousand dollars or 80. prepared to
take back to the safcty OF America
such immediate relatives as they
could find.
But they were caught in another
! $40, and lost all. barely escaping with
their lives.
The majority were able to rescue
their mothers or wives. In fact. with
out the former soldiers, 1t is doubtful
if the women would have survived
their flights to mountains and wander
ing which followed.
For this reason. the refugee vets
take their troubles philosophically
