VICKREY ACCOUNTS
 SCENES OF HORROR
National Relief Leader Views Relics of Near East TTage-
 dies; Pleads for Help.
BY CHARLES V. VICKREY General Secretary Near East Relief, 15l Fifth Avenue, New York.


 the heart of Armenia l have seen the dead and dying of starvation. walked through streets of once pros porous cities, where not one particle of worthwhile merchandise could be seen for sale. Streets and market places are used chiefly as bartering places where people endeayor to eX- change a secondhand garment, or other personal property for food with which to satisfy hunger.
 This was last August. Ones imagin- ation recoils before the picture of what conditions will be in February and March!
 The question naturally Occurs-are the people to blame, and why do they not regain self-suppOrt?
 One of the main reasons is that these lands were occupied by enemy forces until the Fist of April, 1921, with no transportation or communication to the outside world. After April 2l, it was impossible to procure sufficient seed and plant enough land to pro- duce adequate food supplies. Then, too, the fact that I have stood beside heaps of human bones and half-decomposed bodies representing the remains of 500 women and children killed in one spot within the year-and these were only part of the 12,OOO non-Combatants who perished in that vicinity-sug- gests the reign Of terror that has para lyzed all normal selfsupporting activi- ties.
 These people are trying to help themselves and the existing govern meut is doing all that is humanly pos sible for a government to do under present conditions, but without outside help-help from the whole of America there will be a death rate in the Caucasus during the coming year com parable only with that which many of our workers witnessed three years ago.
 Happy In Ameriea's Care.
 Of course there is a brighter side within our orphanage compounds, where the children are no longer hungry, and where they laugh and sing and play. It is a gratifying sight to see these children, thousands of them, at work making their own clothing for the winter from cast-off American gar' mpnts and empty flour sacks, and otherwise bending every effort to meet their own needs.
 These children we will probably, on present prospects, be able to keep alive, but We must face the question of how much we can do toward taking in those naked, starving little orphaned crea- lures outside. Because funds so far received have not come in sufficient quantity, we cannot salvage these hu- man atoms who are pounding at our orphanage gates and on our hearts.
 Americans, in your after-war calm, l plead with you, stretch out a hand to these victims Of relentless war, beside whose tragedies and sufferings our graveBt problems here at home are trivial. To the land where there Is no food to be bought, nor money with which to buy it, I ask you to send your practical American dollars to save from death this remnant of suffering human,ty that is struggling SO bravely Nd s5 5esperately to. save itself
