Homeless Waits at Erivan Rail
road Station.

Time after time since the outbreak
OF the world war, the Armenians have
made a brave attempt to cultivate their
land. And time after time some new
disorder has prevented them from gather
ing their crops or laid waste their fields
before the grain has ripened and been
gathered in.
After two years OF American relief
activity 1t seemed last fall as II we would
be able to reduce our program IN Russian
Armenia to the care OF the children we
had gathered into our ~orphanages. But
then came the new invasion, crops were
trampied Town In the fields. live stock
was carried off, and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save all Of the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
In this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in our orphsnages
or under eur protection in the Caucasus,
Anatoiia, Cilicia and other devastated
areas of the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, 5000 Of these
children died out Of a total of 10000 in
one OF our orphanages. These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and will perish ii our aid is
with held.
Next year, II further. chaos can be
avoided, possibly we will be able to
reduce our program, but prompt action
is necessary now or for thousands there
will be no next year"
