A lthough Miss Reid had only a few m inutes to ta lk she im ­ pressed the gro u p w ith th e need of the work ‘‘I don’t blam e the A m eri­ can people for being discouraged when th e calls keep com ing” said Miss Reid, but she w ent on to show- how th e w ork was carried on in th e face of th e g re a te st difficulties, how- w ar is not over in th a t section but is still raging. She gave incidents show ing how th e T u rk s persecute the A rm enians and how defenseless they are because of th e fact th a t th e men and boys are e ith e r killed or drafted for w ork. The tillin g of th e ir own fields is alm ost im possible and many who atte m p t to do a little work for them selves a re shot while at w ork in the field. A nother incident given was th e story of an A rm enian church w hich had been secured as a sh elter for 3 5 m others and th e ir fam ilies.
