Steps to do Omaha's and Nebras
ka's parts in relieving tine suffer
ings of millions of Armenians, Syri
ans, Greeks and Jews, victims of
Turkish cruelty and war 'devasta
tion in the Near East, were taken
yesterday at an all-day conference
of the city and state committees for
relief in the Near East at the Ho
tel Fontenelle.
The Omaha and Nebraska drives
are to be put on next February.
Meanwhile money is being ad
vanced by bankers to bring imme
diately aid to the unfortunate peo
ple," said Florence S. Duryea, na
tional director of the women's relief
organization.
' Look to America.
"Armenia is looking to America
to provide shelter, food and cloth
ing for 250,000 of her starving chil
dren, left orphans through massa
cres or starvation of their parents.
Por, emaciated little beings, clad
only in shreds of clothing are found
huddled together in sheds, attempt
ing to keep warm.
"It is estimated that $180 will
feed, clothe, shelter and educate one
of these children for a year, $120
will feed and clothe him and $60
will. feed him for one year."
At the luncheon yesterday noon,
C. M. Wilhelm of Omaha, chair,
man of the state committee,, told
of plans for the state drive which
have been made and declared that
Nebraska will exceed the quota in
the coming drive.
Russian General Speaks.
Major General M. H. Azgapetain,
formerly of the Russian army, was
a speaker at the luncheon and at
several other of the meetings.
Five thousand feet of moving pic
tures, taken under direction of the
Hoover commission, showed the
conditions of starvation that exist
among these peoples.
J. U. Arrol . who was field direct
or of the work in the Russian Cau
casus for two vears and returned
three weeks ago to this country
gave an account of present condi
tions, i
When bolshevism broke out in
Russia the army of the czar amount
ed to very little," said Mr. Arroll.
"The Russians in the south laid
down their arms and the entire
front was opened to the advancing
Turks. But for the small Armenian
army which fought heroically
against the invaders the entire
southern part of the eountry would
have been ravished.
Fight Without Food. i
'The Armenians fought their ad
versaries when not even black
bread was available for the soldiers.
Forsaken by the Russians, hard
pressed and tortured by the Turks,
peppered by ruthless bands of Kurds
and Tartars and tempted by induce
ment from the Germans to aband
on the allies, the Armenians fought
on with their backs to the wall and
their women and children dying by
the thousands from starvation and
disease. Many a soldier returned

from the front to find bis home de
stroyed by the Turks and their
allies, who not only destroyed prop
erty, but perpetrated fiendish atroc
ities upon the women and children
of all ages."
"Unless America aids the abused
and starving people of the near
east this winter, millions of them
will die," declared MaJ. Gen. M. H.
Azgapetian, yesterday.
"Armenians, Syrians, Greeks have
been deprived of all means of live
lihood by the hated Turk," declared
the general, who is of Armenian
birth. "Thirty million dollars, al
ready contributed by America, has
been used up. Conditions are un
speakably terrible."
C. P. Burgess, field secretary, told
of the. great success of the drive
in other parts of the country. ;
"I just received a telegram itat
ing that Cleveland, O., has pledged
$650,000 from its war chest," he
said. "Minneapolis has given over
$100,000. Everywhere they are ex
ceeding their gifts of other drives
of this nature."
Turkish Atrocities.. ,
Dr. George H. Trull, who has
been in the near east for the Pres
byterian church, spoke at the lunch
eon of the conference committee
yesterday in the Fontenelle, telling
of atrocities committed by the
Turks,
"The Armenians, Syrians, Greeks
and Jews are the life of the near
east," he said. "The Turks are lazy
and ignorant. They can do noth
ing. It is a gigantic duty to pre
serve the Christians of those coun
tries." The entire party of national
workers left yesterday or last night
for Des Moines where today they
will speak in the churches and to
morrow will hold a city and state
conference, -.
