general of the Federation of Swiss
Committees of Friends of Amendin'.
The plea read*:
“To you, our sisters, women of the
United States, we cry out in our an
guish.
“From our mountains, our plains,
from the desert, as well as from yon?
own hospitable country, we, women
from Armenia, all raise our voices.
Listen to our appeal. Who hotter than
we could speak ? Our men are dead
Yours also have fallen, but as soldier
on the field of honor. Ours have been
cowardly pursued and murdered. Tin
children that we pressed on our breasts
have been torn away from us by thou* j
sands; our young girls are lamenting
in harems.
“Have pity on us. Who else could
protect us? Shall we he left in our ,
despair? No, that is not possible. If;
our hearts are bleeding, yours will
bond over our wounds.
“Hold out your hands to us. We on- ;
ly ask for the right to live and to love;
but to obtain that, Turkish domination
must be done away with. Tell to youi
government so. We must obtain a com
plete and final release.
“Beware of Turkish intrigues!
“Do not believe those who slandei
us!
“Our people’s only crime is to be
Armenians, that is; Christians.
“Our wish is to rebuild our coun
try and our homes with the survivor*
who have been spared us.
“Do help us, women of the United
States!
“Help us, we women of Armenia
who are weeping but still hoping foi
we trust in God’s love."
