THE NEAR EA5T TO CIVILIZATION
" 5AVE MY CHILDREN,
Our Allies in the Near East
By Cuarus Evans Hughm
Probably at no time in the history Sf the world
have there been so many fatherless and mother
less children as there are today. Tens of thous
ands, probably hundreds of thousands in Ar
menia, Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Palestine are not only without parents, but
are without any strong parental government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children of other lands enjoy.
American Consuls and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Relief in the Near
East, almost daily regarding the situation. One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for ,
the support of 10,000 children at an average
expense of two dollars per month per child.
Another from Tiflis reports 40,000 children in
one region waiting for an answer to a previous
cablegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions. Among the
many appeals it is possible for this committee to
assume responsibility for only the most pressing
cases, and it is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention of the American peo
ple. Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in other lands, but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charity. It it the duty
of Americans, as well at a privilege to respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia res developed.
All expenses of administration for this relief
are privately met, so that every dollar tent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing food and supplies for the needy who,
according to the best advices and from audited
reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent
them.
Out of the horror and nightmare through
which thoe people have paed conns the gratify
ing word that we can be of assistance; that our
elloris will prove availing, and that we can share
with tlirsp orphan chfMrrn the bounty whvh we.
as American, have mimed fur years. The work
done I'V this committer has been nvsf unselfish
and effective tinder conditions of rreat personal
s.iori'Ve May America respond to their appeals

USE YOUR HEAD
Sometimes when a man wauti to
buy our poaaesalons It Is well to In
quire Into his reasons (or making the
purchase. Perhaps that which he
wishes to obtain Is ot greater value
than we realise, especially when the
pu: chaser seems to make his liveli
hood by acquiring the commodities or
articles he seeks.
Advertisements to buy Liberty
Bonds never eiplaln why the adver
tiser wants the bonds. It might be
aitute to reason that he wants the
bonds because they are going to brine
him a profit over and above the price
he Is I. ling to pay for them.
Likewise when a man auks you to
"get In on the ground floor" of a new
enterprise and offers to trado you se
curities In the venture for Liberty
Bunds, common une ahould indicate
that the Liberty Bonds are worth
more than the MrtirlUe he seeks to
trade, eliw he would not be willing to
make the tnnaetlon.
