Mass Meeting Tomorrow Evenlnf - at High School Auditorium. A local branch of the American Committee for Armenian and Syr ian Relief was orgnnixed Monday in Weston at a meeting called by Mr. Prit chard of the Coast Commit tee, with headquarters at Seattle, .The local oll'ieera are; Mayor J. M. Banister, chairman; Clara IVice, secretary: K. M. Smith, treasurer, The other committee member are: Clark Wood, K. C. Rogers, Ali.v IVice, S. K. Powell. J. II. Price. E. F. Wriggle, F, C. Fitpat- rick. F. D. Walts, Norah Watts, E O. IH.-M.iss. J. II. Williams, J. W. Porter. Mrs. J. W. Porter. I.. R. Van Winkle and Mrs. Kathryn Smith. . Of these the live lirst mentioned constitute the publicity committee, of which Clark Wood is chairman sud Alice I'riiv stvretary. The work of the American and Svriau Relief Committiv is backed by the Unitol Slates government. It is reirardeil as ranking in im portance ami magnitude with that of the Rel Cross. It has hereto fore Ihvii handled by the I Ceil Cross, but has outgrown the re sources of thai organization and re- nuin's one of its own. This work involves literally the saving of millions of Christian lives -.-CKiecnilly of starving women and children. It can only be done by the United Stales, whose allies are fully iMVUpieil. Ihslrilmtion is wisely and economically made by aksolutely reliable agents. The na tional government Irani-ports the supplies and every dollar contribut ed goes for relief none for ex- iiciises. James I.. Barton of New York Is chairman of the national commit tee mid its membership embraces such men as William Howard Tafl and Charles Evans Hughes. Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton has general charge of the Umatilla county campaign. Frum the nation at large thirty million dollars are wanted at once; from Umatilla county live thousand dollars; from Weston, four hundred dollars. The local drive was unanimously endorsed Tuesday evening by the Weston Commercial Club. The national coiumitU-c suas: "The committiv is convinced that to prevent widespread death by starvation and disease during the six winter months of 1917-1918, at least $:iu,hh,im)0 will he milled. In addition to this, for repatriation and rehabilitation, an additional 15,1X111,(100 should ln planned for, of which $:t,r,IHI.I)IIO is needed at once in the Russian Caucasus. Per sia and MesoMtnmia for the winter." President Woodrow Wilson .siys: "In view of the urgent need I call again Uxm the coplc of the United States to make such further contributions a they feel disMed, in their sympathy and generosity 1 for the aid of these suffering peo-pl.-s." At Saturday evening's meeting the work will In- more fully ex plained. This meeting has Ihvii called in a circular letter issued by the pub licity commit Ur, and all patriotic liple of the community are invit ed and exH-cted to attend. Lowest prices on cigars and to bacco at The Pastime. Nice Christ mas jars of tobacco. E, E. Zehm. With regard to putting the iwrt V 'luring this drive in Portland James J. Sayre says in the Oregon Voter: "It seems to be fairly well dem onstrated that we have no ship ping.".. In this respect Weston and Port land are in the same boat presum ing it to be a borrowed boat.
