For live years the Near East Relief organization had bu.lt up a work of mercy throughout the former Turk ish Empire and Transcaucasia, to a point where 54,680 little children were being housed, clothed, fed, given medical attendance and taught, and over 56,000 others being sup plied with food.

War threatened to scatter the work und render vain the long, patient effort* o f tho Near East Relief to salvage a whole nation’s children. But the American men and women who had cared for these little ones were undismayed. They refused to leave under bombardment, with hostile armies sweeping through tho streets where the Near East Relief's great orphanages had been estab lished, with ajl supplies cut off and no communication with the outside world, or with that far American homeland whose representatives theue heroic men and women are, they stuck to their po3ts. The last food from America huu corpe in on November 6, 1520. It was not until four months later ‘.hat tho new governments o f the Transcaucasian states were estab lished on a solid basis. IJut famine threatened. An appeal was made to American philanthropy: “ Critical need lor food products in Caucasus,” the cable read. “ No limit to need in Armenia. New government promises bolter facilities for relief activity than former government." A few days later, a further piteous plea fol lowed: “ Total orphans in Alexandro- pol 18.000. Supplies In Alexandro- pol allow half-rations, April 3rd to 30th. After May 1st, nothing." Rut this splendid American reliet organization had not waited. Food was already on the way. On April 22. Charles V. Vickrey, general sec retary of the Near East Relief, cabled: “ Expect ship first week In May: 1,000 tons rice; 1,000 tons wheat flour; 600 tons commeal, corn flour, hominy; 30 tons sugar; 500 tons beans; 5,000 cases corn syrup, from New York and Now Orleans direct lo Ratum. Additional 1,000 tons wheat Hour from Pacific Coast June 1st.” The seven American relief workers in charge of the 18,000 little ones in Alcxandropol cabled a last appeal: “ No food at any price. Four days more and we are finished. ’ Rut when the first rr’ ief ship “ Que- ijuc:i tei. d the d serted harbor of Ratum on May 1, there were just ten bags of flour left. The food ship had conn- iu time. America had saved the day and the 18.000 little or phan children, who had suffered so much and lmt ,,o much in their short, war-clouded lives, never knew* that gauat hunger in the robes o f death had knocked at the door of the or phan.ue at Alexandropol— and that America had thrust the bony hand away. “ It Is the great heart of America that made this work of salvation pos sible,” Mr. Vickrey declared. “ The money that sends the bread to these children conies from ten million homes throughout the United States. It comes from the hearts of the most generous people In the world, who cannot bear u> know that half a world away, little children are facing hunger and death, without helping them to life and happiness.' Mr. Vickrey is making a nation wide appeal to the people of the United States to keep this great work going. Contributions may be sent to Cleveland H. Dodge. Treasurer, 1 M«dt«on Avenue.
