APPALLING ARMENIAN ENIST

'TWo days travelling about and
observing generally the conditions Of

cicnt to convince Il field man, long
familiar with relief work that it is
not disease which is killing off the
inhabitants Of Erivan. 1t is plain

"OutSine one OF the Near East Re-
licf's soup kitchens | saw shivering e
in the cold and snow hundreds Of
starving children, who cried bitterly
from hunger and exposure. They
kept coming in from everywhere all
day, presenting 4 heartrcnding pie
turc in their Scaniy rags and shOclcSs
feet. Thc Impending end to many Of
their short lives was plainly written
in their CLASSY and staring eyes.
'A!l possible relief is given to
those APPLYING at the Near East Re
