SPEAKER TELLS NEED
OF NEAR EAST
RELIEF

Miss Elsie Truran of Akhalkalaki,
Russia, spoke yesterday at Ell Centre
churches on the Near East Relief work
impressing her audiences with the
need of such relief without delay if
thousands of lives of little children are
TO be saved.
Miss Truran has been engaged in
this work since the war and made vivid
the atrocities of the Turks which have
orphaned Armenian children and made
desofate their homes. The Relief Com
mission, she said, is chartered by and
works under the direction of the Unit
ed States government. The work is
confined to children because it was
early found that the task of saving
the men and women would be too great.
The appeal to people of America will
be made for money, old clothes and
such other things that can be used.
Committees in Imperial county will un-
dertake the soliciting plan. Turkish
butcheries of the Armenians has left
but a remnant of this people "who are
now beseeching the League of Nations
to send ships to transport them beyond
the reach of their hereditary enemies. -

ment that they could hardly drag
themselves along the ground, crying
for something to eat at the gates of
Near East Relief orphanages in
Alexandropol and Erivan. The in
stitutions are already overcrowded,
and unless additional facilities are
provided, no more can be admitted.
This means a situation so horri-
bic that l hate to think of it, for
winter is coming, and winter in
Transcaucasia is bitterly cold and
the starvation and disease that is
now carrying off scores every day
will grow worse.
IF more American women could
only see the sights that l saw, of
babies dying in their mothers
arms; of youngsters who still need
a mothers care scratching in refuse
for a morsel of something to eat;
of others so shriveled up from
starvation that they more resem-
bled mummies from some ancient
Egyptian tomb than anything hui
man; if they could only see these
sights, and worse, / know they
would see that America did not
forsake task that up to this time
has been so wonderfully done" {
Mrs. Duryea was the only woman
member of the Commission to visit
Transcaucasia, where she was the
guest of the various local govern
mentS.

WELL KNOWN COUPLE.
I WE'D IN SAN DIEGO

CALEXICO, Feb. 27.-t became
known here today that Lieut.. Jack At
kinson, war time flyer and aerial scout,
and more recently captain of the Den
yer Aerial Police and first fire patrol
flyer in the government service, was
quietly welded last Monday, to a beau
tiful young FL Centre girl
The bride was Miss Lurline Me
Pheeters of well known FL Centre
family and just past her 18th birthday.
Captain Jack, as he is known in the
valley, and Miss McPheeters slipped
quietly away to San Diego, in his big
plane, and flew to the coast city, where
landing was made at the army field.
They then secured the license and
were united in the Methodist parson-
age, after which they airplaned it
back to Ell Centre and are now domicil-
ed in the bridal suite of the Barbara
Worth hotel
Within the next few days Captain
Atkinson and his bride are to leave
for Omaha, but this time by common
railroad as flying across the Rockies
at this time of year is too perilous to
risk a bride of two weeks. They will
visit friends and relatives there for
time while Captain Atkinson packs
big six passenger plane to ship back
to the valley for passenger service
along the coast.
