PETITION SENATOR
in. AYVASIAN CASE
PATHETIC CASE OF ARMENIAN
MOTHER SEPARATED FROM
CHILDREN

Readers of The Herald may recall
narratives published from time to
time in our columns about efforts
having been made to bring the two
young children of Mrs. Ayvasian, a
resident of Wolf Point, from Ar
menia to this city. The history of
these efforts is long and depressing
one.
Over two years ago, their mother,
Mrs. Aleck Ayvasian, reached
this city from Smyrna, after a hur-
ried departure from that city. At
that time, owing to the troubled con-
dition of that region, she was sepa-
rated from her children and had to
leave without them. Then, over two
years ago, through Secretary Cor
don of the Commercial club, cor
respondence was begun to bring the
two children over here.
Government Officers Aid
The state department at Washing
ton was consulted with the result
that reams of correspondence with
officials of all sorts from Secretary
of State to Vice-consuls accumulat-
ed. U. S. Senator Henry L. Myers
then took a hand and through him
the money for passage of the child
rem was forwarded by their mother
to the consul at Smyrna. Then came
the massacre at Smyrna Tens of
thousands Of people perished and the
city was burned. For months no It'd
ings of the fate of the two children
could be obtained although Senator
Myers never slackened in his interest
in the outcome, until finally one
child, daughter ten years of age,
was located in refugee camp in the
island of Salonika, Greece, where she
now is. The boy, aged six years, had
meanwhile died.
Over 5000 Sent
Again, money for her passage was
forwarded to the director of the Ar
menian relief committee at Salonika
and other correspondence with off
cials carried on, but at this writing
there is no likelihood of the child's

1923. 1t is not matter of money,
the mother is well able to pay the

Ayvasian sent SIS for some needed

going to stay at home and show your
iove and appreciation Of Mother and
Father Make up your mind that you
are going to make this day at home

NAVY ATHLETES
On LAST LAP Of
SPORT PROGRAM
Schedules Of Several Teams
More Than Half Over But
Many Contests Are Crowded
Into This Month--Nine Is
Improving.
THREE DUAL EVENTS
WITH ARMY JUNE 2

Midshipmen athletes have
passed the mid-season point of
the Spring program. Thus far
the several teams have achieved
notable success in their sched-
ules. Even more varied will be
the card afforded sport lovers the
coming Saturday, as an addition
al contest will be staged when
the rifle team will have its initial
engagement with the District of
Columbia National Guardsmen.
Many Events This Month
This month will be punctuated by
an even greater number, as well as
interesting events, than has marked
April, now that the rowing and field
and track schedules are well under
way. Added to this is the fact that
three of the teams have big detectives
for which they are being pointed as
the ball tossers. tennis players and
field and track athletes will clash
with the rival West Point Cadets on
the grounds of the latter on June 2. so
there will be big Army and Navy
day on the banks of the Hudson on
that date. rsr1b
To Row On Lake Carnegie
Considerable attention has been
given to the oarsmen, as two eight
cared crews ARE entered against
Princeton and Harvard oarsmen in
thegregatta on Lake Carnegie Satur-
day. Coach Glendon and followers of
Navy aquatic sport are highly pleased
over the showing of the middies in the
races against the University of Penn
sylvania crews when they made a
clean sweep over crews which Joe
Wright, the Red and Blue coach, ad-
mitted were the strongest that have
represented the Pennsylvania. insti-
tuition for several years. Massachu-
setts Tech proved an easy foe.
Nine Steadily Improving
Though the baseball team has
shown signs of slight unsteadiness
on a couple of occasions, still the nine
appears to be far and away above
Navy teams of the past several sea-
sons. Individual improvement is be-
ing shown all along the line. but most
gratifying OF all perhaps is the fact
that the squad possesses. a greater
number of reliable and stronger hit
ters. Coming along slowly, but surely.
1t is believed the team will be
at the pinnacle of strength when ii
takes the field against the Army, and
that another victory will be registered
over the doughboys.
