Turkey 'Proceeded to Attend to the
Armenians
By William Howard TArf
Now why the need of money for the Arme
nians? You know their story? Abdul Hatnid was
the Sultan of Turkey, lie was the sweet-scented
individual who in 1896 deliberately directed the
killing of 100,000 Armenians. Who are the Ar
menians? They arc one of the oldcit Christian
jieoplcs in the world. They lived in a province that
lies north of Mesopotamia, east of Asia Minor,
west of Persia and south of the Black Sea. It is
a province of mountains and valleys not only
rich but fertile. 1,800,000 Armenians lived in that
count 15. cultivating the valleys and made them
"blossom as the rose". The Turks haled them be
cause they were Christians ; hated them because
they were industrious, and enjoyed the prosperity
that comes from industry.
Later when Turkey entered the great Euro
pean war as the ally of Germany, she invited
German officers into her arniy. Her army was
shortly officered by German officers, who directed
tlint army to go into Armenia and deport i,8oo,-
000 Armenians, winch they did. 000,000 escaped.
The other 1,200,000 were driven by that army
to the desert of Mesopotamia and Syria, and in
the drive the army deliberately killed men, women
and children, by rifle ball, by bayonet, by knife,
by driving them over precipices, by driving them
into deep running rivers 600,000 men, women
and children I Half of them were deported to
Aiin and half to Mesopotamia. Out of those de
ported nearly .joo,ooo died of starvation.
Then Germany turned the Caucasus over to
Turkey; Turkey proceeded to nttend to the Ar
meniansin that kindly, fatherly way I That is
the story I
A friend of mine who was on the border of
Persia told mc that he had gone to a German
officer and said "Kor God's sake, can't you stop
the butchery of these men, women and children?
and the German officer clicked his heels together
and said "Stand back, the time for mercy has
jmsted".
This is the story of that tin fortunate people.
The Syrians, Greeks and lews in Western Asia
have suffered the snmc kind of barbaric trent
nicnr. The Armenian and Syrian Relief has been
organized for some years to enre for these unfor
tunate, sorely distressed people. It has received
and most efficiently expended more than Sta,
000,000. Kacli cent that you give will go for
actual relief. Feeble, helpless, starving millions
cry for food. I urge you to give generously of
your bounty.

Tho banks iirad to huv ITnli,l stntps

credit of tho Uulted States Is.
The $100 you put Into a Victory Ub-
orty Hond will be worth JIS6 plus in
terest when prices settle down. A dol
lar is worth what you can buy with It.
Hotter, have the bonds of the Unltod
States in tho hands of 30.M0.eO0
onllnary-citlions thuu concentrated in
tho hands of a fen rich mon. Think
of thst when Uncle Sam offors you

Don't think you have sacrificed be
came you may be paying for your In

Uouds. These fellows back from Kranee
legless, urmleas or sightless don't think
they havo sacrificed. They simply
think tbey Old their duty.
The Victory Loan oomtag In April
Is tho last Uberty Loan. Then the
war is over for yoi. It will be still I
going on for 1.000,000 Americans in I
trance. s,
of this, suull we lusltatc for a momont
to respond to the last call the Victory
Llbei lxau-when we can do so by
pledging our croda, perhaps with some
llttlo personal Incanvonlence, sacrifice
or small dUcomf ,rt?
The blood of the young manhood of
America Is not now required. That
was generously glvon before the armi
stice was signed, and now wo may glvo
tbauks that no mom will be taken.
rne creutt nnu goou rattn or our
country Is nt stake. We have won the
war, and tho cost is small compared
with what has been won. The men of
the West with red blood In their veins
trill not need to be appealed to, beeause
they will subscrlbo to this last call of
the Government as ungrudgingly as
they did lu the past. Tbore are others.
however, who may not be so keenly and
conscientiously alive to the duty of re
sponding to the Nation's call, and it is
to those that the women must direct
their most untiring efforts.
This last call Is truly a Victory Loan.
What greator pride can men and wo
men experience tian in contributing
to ItT A Victory Bond will be worth
mere than its price expressed In dol
lars. Kvery one will be a badge testi
fying that the bolder has helped his
country to fulfill Its pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
who hare made the supreme sacrifice.
