FUND FOR
STARVING
The refugees ot Western Asia
have struggled through the heat and
suffering of an Kastorn summer.
They are now facing the even more
terrible ordeal of a winter which in
many parts of the territory is extre
mely rigorous. Homeless unthink
ably destitute, with the prospect of
starvation ahead of them, these Ar
menian. Syrian and (Jreek oxiles find
hut one ray of light in the leaden sky
which darkens their world.
From America has come -help
enough at least to keep life in the
bodies of these sufferers duringthe
summer months. With pitiful 1 aces
md eyes that seem to say, ' It you
ail us. only death waits,* they turn
to America to help them through the
•ominvr winter; and then to give them
i chance to become once more self
upporting independent peoples.Their
gratitude is pathetic.
If help is not sent soon there will
remain no people to he helped. All
noney which the Committice collects !
s forwarded to relict* stations and us
ed by renionsible American distribut
ers for purchase of food and . he’ter!
for tie* refugees. Not one cent i
taken out for administrative expense',
which are met privately.
The above is one of the apeals sent
