Rumpler, chairman of the women's division of Near East relief, issues an appeal to the women of Indiana on behalf of'the sufferers of Armenia and asks support for the campaign to be conducted from Feb. 1 to 22. Mrs. Rumpler says: “The sorrows of the Near East are so great and its_ sufferings are so intense that we are compelled In the name of humanity to listen £o the cry of its stricken people. Women and little children are pleading for help from the women of America. Thousands of starving and homeless orphans cry to us tor food and shelter and for the care of the mother torn from them by cruel Turks. Many young women enduring shame and degradation as Slaves in oslem harems call to us for release 'from bondage. These helpless women have but one hope —America. “I know that these calls will not fall on deaf ears. American women will sacrifice much to meet the needs of their sisters in these stricken lands. Contributions to be made later through tte Neast East relief committee will be/distributed by American workers who are ministering angels in the land of stalking death. "As chairman of the woman's division for Indiana I appeal to every organization of women -church, clubs, fraternal order, labor union, social organization and to individual women to do their utmost to save a life this year. Five dollars per month for one year will save a life. I am confident we will not fall them in their hour of need.” Housewives to Hear Committee Report The purchasing committee of the Tbirtentb ward organization of the Housewives' league will make a report; at the weekly meeting in the branch library at Madison avenue and Prospect streets on Tuesday evening.
