30 SANDY TOWN SUIT NIOH SCHOOL FLAM HEAT A ffenplf fflitluutt A (Cmmtru In earlier times Armenia was tin home of a cultured and progressive people, all the great virtues and vices were found among the Armenians. The happier side of life was present. lav social events gave life and color to the lives of these people. In spite of oriental tyrannies, she survived the assults of her more powerful neighbors. In her early Christian days, she was aide to treat triumphantly with her neighbors. Hut when the Turks and .Mongols from Central Asia reached Armenia, and made her people their victims; there was no ap|K al which could he made to the eunque’ror’s. Clemency and ehilvarlv they had no such qualities. The Turks | ossesscd no religion, no decency, no culture. Conquest for loot was their belief. They robbed, murdered ami violated all the laws of social decency. They deemed it no crime to destroy Aliens. For three hundred years the Armenian nation was virtually buri« d, yet it’s people adhered to it’s traditions, language and customs. From the fourteenth century to the world’s war. the Turks assisttnl by the .Mongols have imjM scd every kind of abomination and barbarity upon the Armenians. Their word has bi en refused in courts of law. their women could be seized at anytime. They have been banned from the army and forbidden to bear arms. There is no sjmu on the globe today where there is more desperate and hopeless suffering than in Armenia. In other place's there is a famine that moves as to pity and give our help. Hut in Armenia it is not starvation alone that the ]M ople face, hut starvation after years of destruction, wrought by a war that has never l»een ended, it is starvation following pestilence, hand in hand with death from exposure, violence or disease. In the .Mountains between Karo and Alexandropal there are 2G3,OIH) human beings without clothing, food or shelter. Cnless they are succored within a short time, they will all | crish. Scattered throughout the Near Fast, there are thousands of Armctii ans who have neither Country, home and shelter or hope of regeneration, save that which lies in the great heart of America. I erlmps we cannot save all the grown |M ople, of this oldest Christian nation in the world. Hut at least we can save the little children, who hold the future in their hands. They have wronged no one, and they have suffered through the precious years a calvary of agony. For three years the Near Fast Relief, an American organization incor]M mtcd by Congress, lias built iip the foundation of the new generation in the New Fast, with little children that it has taken in from the road side and nursed back to health, fed, housed and educated, in the name of the American |M op]e, who have furnished the funds for this great work. This has been our signal contribution 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 se d of world brotherhood that we have sown. Shall we let it die now? “The Near Fast Relief is appealing to the American people for the money to go on with this work—to keep these little lines alive, and to save this martyred Christian pimple. Sixty dollar |s r year—ten dollars |H r month, feeds a child. We have taken this great res|M iisihilitv upon us. A whole nation looks to us in faith and trust. “We cannot betray them.” ALICE LANDIS,
