That thousands of refugees in
iible lands VINO have died from the
ravases of the Turk since the first
OF January last are in imminent dan,
ger OF death from starvation, expo.
sure and disease is the story con
tained in a letter to W. $. Hopkins,
State Director of the Near East Re
lief, from Miss Elisabeth S. Webb of
Alexandretta, Syria.
Miss Webb left this country on
February 18th last to do missionary
work in Asia Minor, but has been
compelled by the situation to de-
sote all of her energies to relief
york among refugees who fled from
the Turk after the French with
travail from Silica in January.
From the city of Tarslls alone
thousands of refugees escaped and
are now living in want and destitu-
ton in Syria. This the same Tar
aus from whence came the Apostle
Paul.
In Miss Webbs letter she states
hat sThe condition of the refugee
iquatters is growing steadily worse.

y suitable clothing. AleXandretta

can be done quickly u large part
of these refugees will die. In this
,ne city alone there are $4,000 rcfu
gees"
Miss Webb states further: " But
SO SIMPLY must have money to care
or these helpless people. In some
,;ay cannot $4,000 be found?

attcrs IN six months, but the need

the French withdrawal of troops and
the consequent unhindered ravages
by the Turk in Asia Minor: but

of food and clothing among the refu-
gees in the Caucasus mountains:

Appreciation

| have more than the usual reason
for being grateful to those who have
extended me very liberal courtesy
during the past two years. The CIR
numstances which led to my need for
extensions on my accounts were very
much out of the ordinary and | think
t is understood that they were beyond
nv control and something for which
was not to blame. This view Of
the case has led the people with
whom l have had business relations
to be especially kind to me. Through
their aid | have been able to make
due progress toward the discharge Of
my Obligations and | have arrived at
point where | feel splendid conf
ance as to the future. | feel can
hardly express sufficient gratitude for
this sympathy and encouragement.
