It Is starvation following pestilence, nnd stalking hand In hand with death from exposure, from vlo lence or from disease. "In the mountains between ICars and Alexandropol there arc 203,000 human hcjngs without clothing, food or shelter In the bitter winter, who are wandering from place to place like people In a nightmare. .Unless they aro succored before the end of an other month, they will nil bo dcud. In southern Pcrsln, tho remnnnt of the ancient family of Chaldean Christians have been forced to renounce forever all hope of ever returning to the home land where they have dwelt nnd flour ished for 1,000 years, and to become pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the generosity of strangers for life Itself. In Clllcia, 15,000 Armenian refugees have crowded Into the coast regions seeking safety from the anarchy which reigns In the Interior, In terror for their lives. They live from day to day on the food which Is given them In the soup kitchens established by the Near Kast Belief. Scattered throughout the Near East, there are some 7,700,490 Armenians, the re mainder of a nation of 1,000.000, who have neither government, country, homeland, shelter or hqpe of regenera tion, save thnt whhh lies In the great heart of America. "It Is a tragedy to stupendous thnt It Is dllllcult for us to grnsp Its mean ing. A whole nation, a living, Christian people, face Jo face with extermina tion today, unless we help. We shall see an entire nation disappear from the face of tho earth before our eyes if wo withhold our hand now, when the call comes to us to save by giving, cr by Jnnctlon to condemn to death. Save the Children! "Perhaps we cannot save all tho grown peopde of this oldest Christian nation ln-thc world. But ut least we can save the little children who hold tho future In their hands. They have wronged no one. They hnvo harmed no one. And they have suffered through tho precious years of child hood a calvary of agony nnd wretched nesB. For three years the Near East Relief, an American organization, In corporated by Congress, has built up tho nucleus of a new generation In the Near East, with tho little children that It has taken In from the roadside and barren places, and nursed back to health, fed, clothed, housed nnd edu cated, In the name of the American people who have furnished the funds for this great work. "This bus been our slgnnl contribu tion to the world's future peace that tens of thousands of these little ones shall all their lives look to us with gratitude and faith. It Is a seed of world brotherhood that we have sown. Shall we let It die now? "Tho Near Hast Relief Is appealing to the American peoplo for the money to go on with this work to keep these little ones alive and to save this martyred Christian people. Sixty dol lars per yenr $10 per month feeds u child. We have taken this great re sponsibility upon us. A whole nation looks to us In faith and trust. "Wo cannot betray them now."
