Many Of these children have been grad

were given shelter in Greece eight years
ago already knew the art of carpet
weaving, and that is becoming grow

Mrs. Bassett was one of the first of
a group of American men and women
to answer the cries of thousands be-
wildered children who in 1920 were
made homeless and parentleSs by the
Armenian deportations from Turkey.
She had previously received consider
able experience in welfare work among
the mining districts of Mexico, where
her husband a mining engineer, was
supervisor of mines.
In 1874 MIS-. bdSSelJ WAS given ILlt
position of child welfare director of
Greece. She witnessed, among many
other remarkable sights, the building
Of an orphanage on The Island of Syra
by the children who later occupied the
place.
"The orphanage accommodated 1900
children" she said. THE boys and
girls did practically all Of the work in
the building of the place, even the
smallest of the children helping in the
carrying of stone and sand. Older boys
assisted in the electrical work as well
as the carpentry and masonic work.
after the place was finished the
children carried on the work, making
their own clothes, and even their own
shoes. These are some of the children
who. now grown, have taken their place
as constructive and progressive citizens
of Greece.

ORPHANS REPAYING
GREECE FOR HELP
Near East Relief Worker SAYS
Former Refugees Become
Good Citizens.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Greece is now beginning to reap her
reward for the charity which she ex-
tended eight years ago to the thousands
Of refugee orphans who poured into
the country after their deportation
from Turkey.
Mrs. Edna Ashley BaSsett. after 10
years spent in the countries of the Near
East, engaged in social service work,
has arrived in Washington with enthu-
siastic reports for assistance rendered
the Near East Relief by the Greek Gov
eminent and the happy outcome of the
work among Armenian and Greek
orphans which started 10 years ago.
With the last orphanage conducted
under auspices of the American Near
East Relief closed in October, Mrs. Bas-
sett, whose social endeavors have been
confined to the refugee children and
orphans of the Near East, has had the
satisfaction of seeing the last chapter
close upon happy ending to her decade
of work there.
Helped Move $4,000.
'"The orphans have become grown
boys and girls" she said. They have
gone forth among the people of Greece,
well educated and with high princi-
Piles. In 1922, after two years spent in
work with orphanages of Turkey,
helped in the transfer of $4,000 home
less and orphaned children from Asia
Minor to Greece, establishing hea /
quarters in Athens.
The Greek Government was Won
derful at that time. 1t placed at our
disposal many of its handsomest build
ings to house the children. 1t gave us
free transportation of the children and
of supplies throughout different parts
Of the country. We were given free
postal and telegraph service and free
importation of foodstuffs.
"But I know that Greece will be re-
paid for its kindness to these orphans.

BALTIMORE, December 10.-Agents
OF the Bureau of Identification of the
Department of Justice Monday placed
with the Baltimore police a detainer on
behalf OF the Government against
Ernest w. Kaiser, who had represented
himself as Maj. Don S. r. K. McLaren,
British World War ace. Kaiser,
sought by the Federal authorities for
two years, has been charged with trans
porting a stolen automobile.
He was indicted in Danville. Ill, last
December, and 1t was said Monday night
by the Federal authorities he would be
given removal hearing as soon as he
was turned over to them. He also is
accused of obtaining $450 from Amy
Wilson at Newport, Long Island, by
representing himself as an airmail pilot.
OfficerS also asserted he married un-
der the name of the British war ace.
Charges of forgery, bigamy and non
support were being investigated. Kaiser

Although the orphanage and relief
work in the Near East is at an end,
important educational work is carried
on by the Near East Foundation" Mrs.
Bassett concluded. 1T is of utmost inn
portance that the boys and girls, still
very young. who have gone forth from
our institutions be guarded and super
vised against reverting to the unedu-
Gated status of many of the villagers
among whom they live. The workers
Of the Near East Foundation will carry
on supervisional and advisory work
which will make this group of erstwhile
orphan refugees a credit to Greece and
the institutions which have cared for
them"
