Earthquakes Bring
Suffering to Children
The atten tio n of th e w orld has
been focused for a few days again
on the N ear E ast. Because of the
earth quake w hich destroyed 37 vil
lages. the g re a t o rp h an a g e of Alex-
anderpol City, driving 9000 ch il
dren to sleep on th e hillsides in the
bitter cold of a n e a r e a ste rn w in
te r; which razed flour m ills, killed
live stock and b uried food supplies
under tons of7 debris, th e w orld’s
attention has ag ain been centered
on that unhappy land.
For ten y ea rs A m erica has been
pouring out h er bounty to the
stricken peoples of the Near E ast
and the p rese n t is an opportune
moment to review som e of th e re a
s o n s why A merica* should aid the
Near E ast peoples. Leaving as'de
the d ictates of a com mon hum ani
ty and recognition of the tru th th a t
the stro n g should support the
weak, h ere a re special claim s
which th is people have upon the
ch a ritab ly inclined people of the
west.
One tie is th a t of religion. In
one of th e e a rth q u a k e w recked vil
lages,
E tchm iadzin,
stands
a
ch u rch built on th e s jte of the first
C h ristian ch u rc h ever built in the
world. T he o rig in a l s tru c tu re was
built at a tim e w hen our ancestors,
the A ngles and Saxons, w ere naked
savages in n o rth e rn Europe. At
th a t tim e no one dared approach
our b loodthirsty foreb ears w ith the
gospel.
It w as too dangerous.
A rm enia kept th e to rch of C hristi
anity burn in g u n til som eone dared
to take th e gospel to those who
were to becom e th e teach ers of the
Anglo Saxon race. W hatever a p
preciation we have of Christianity
as a leveling influence in the
world, we should not forget the
people wljo kept 'ts light from be
ing extinguished.
S ituated a t th e cross roads of
the w orld, A rm enia has been in
the d irect p ath of th e world con-
q u erers and m ig h t have m ade h e r
self rich a t th e sam e price th a t
Belgium m ight have been rich, by
b etraying h er allie s and giving
the enem y free passage through
her b o rd ers w hile she furnished
them, at a good price, the supplies
for th e ir w arlik e expeditions. And
like Belgium , she chose ex term i
nation ra th e r th a n th e b etra y al of
her ideals and today 'n rew ard her
people are sc attered and the p re s
ent g overnm ent of A rm enia covers
a site th a t is b u t a fraction of her
form er te rrito ry .
One high in th e G erm an arm y
cre d its G erm any’s w illingness to
sign th e A rm istice as soon as she
did to her failu re to secure oil for
the su b m arin e w arfare. He also
sta te s th a t it w as th e stubborn de
fense by th e A rm enians division
of th e R ussian arm y of the p rice
less oil fields of Baku th a t p re
vented th e c e n tra l pow ers from se
cu rin g supplies of oil. When the
R ussian arm y b roke into pieces,
the A rm enians stayed a t th e ir
posts to defend th e ir fro n tiers, and
a t th e sam e tim e prevented the oil
from becom ing th e pro p erty of the
c e n tra l pow ers. G ran tin g th e tru th
of th is claim , m any boys who o th
erw ise w ould be • sleeping th eir
long sleep in F ra n c e are safe in
th e ir Oregon hom es due to the
heroism of the m en w hose orphan
