A graphic picture of the sunshine
brought to the little children of the
Near East by American response
to the cry of the stricken is con
tained in a letter sent here from
Sidon, Syria, by Miss Josephine Muse
a Nebraska university girl, who is
in charge of an orphanage in Sidon,
to Mrs. Guy Kiddoo, a personal
friend.
Kxtracts from the letter follow:
"We have just been notified that
the Near East Relief is making an
Kaster drive for funds so I am writ
ing directly to you because there is
jut time to have this reach you by
Easter. ' -
Listless and Emaciated.
"Children who came to us listless
and apathetic, Jlieir skins yellow and
.parched from malaria, their bodies
emaciated; children who lay in their
hospital beds day after day motion
less, who showed no sign of anima
tion nor any desire to walk, though
they had ,been pronounced cured by
the doctor these children are now
playing merrily and noisly, are run
ning to school when the bell rings,
and are begging to be permitted to sit
up and study.
"If we can continue to care for
these children until they are
old enough to care for themselves
decently, can train a few of the
brightest to be teachers, and the oth
ers to be dressmakers, cooks, shoe
makers and mechanics, we shall have
been able to do a wonderful tiling for
the county which has suffered so ter
ribly from the war. Should our as-

Fat of Girls.
"The girls would suffer more than
the boys. The older ones would go
as servants, wherever they could
find work, they would be little drud
ges at best, working long hours for
food and lodging and perhaps a mize
dia (about 50 cents) a month. All
of course would not find jvork. They
would beg, as would tne younger
ones, and many would ultimately
drift into prostitution.
"This work must go on. We have
saved thousand of children. Now
death by disease and starvation. Now
let us continue to help them until
they are trained to go out into the
world and earn a good living for
themselves. x
Miss Huse included several histo
ries of some of the children who
have come under the care of the Si
don orphanage. A typical case fol
lows: Beheeya Assad, age 7, lost fa
ther, mother, two brothers and sis
ter from typhus during the war. For
a year Beheeya wandered from vil
lage to village begging from door to
door for a crust of bread, and eat
ing grass from the fields.
