KING AND QUEEN OF GREECE Near East Relief organization, 1 Madison Ave., New York City. Her message reads: "Deeply touched your preat kindboss towards (.reck war sufferers in Straits Area and Asia Minor. Thank you all most sincerely. i. sopniE." fcAt tue same time, the Greek queen sent her check to Dr. Barton. Chairman of the Near East Relief Committee, for 1,000 franca as a- contribution to what she termed the "beautl-1 ful work" of feeding, clothing and housing the moro than 110,000 little children who have come under the care of the Near East Relief during the past year. Besides Queen Sophie, Admh&l P. Coundouriotis, of the Royal Hellenic Navy, who was regent of Greece following the death of the late King Alexander, on October 25, last, has also cabled to express the gratitude of the Greek people for the aid furnished the Christian populations of Turkey by the Near East Relief. More than $120,000.00 was raised among the Greeks of the United States, in two weeks, and sent to the Near East by the Near East Relief, to be used in helping the widows and orphans rendered destitute by the continuation of disturbed conditions in-the former Ottoman Empire. The funds of the Near East Relief aro gathered by private subscription not only among Americans, but among the Armenians and Greeks in the United States, whose countrymen In Turkey and Transcaucasia have been through indescribable suffering. In an official report to Charles V. Vickrey, General Secretary of the Near East Relief, Miss Gle Hastings, of Spencer, Iowa, describes the pitiable condition of tens of thousands of homeless, starving, half-naked refugees, driven from their homes In the war area, and huddled in stables and out-houses, or on the bare ground, for lack of shelter. "Most of the refugees are country, people with almost nothing except the clothes on their backs, stupefied and dazed by their mtefortunee. Bread is given only to women and children at the rate of one-half loaf for a person, each day. The milk la reserved for tho babies and sick. The refugees Bit around, huddled up against the walls women with dull, 6ad faces, little children that are blue and pinched with the cold, and too miserably lifeless to cry. One family of five sleeps at niht on a bare stone floor, under one thin, ragged halfcotton blanket. In one room several women are wasting away with tuberculosis: in another are some severe eye cases,' including two young blind girls, who have no one in the world to care for them. The overflow from these buildings live in a wooden ehed with the walls and floors gaping with holes where the wood has rotted away and in tents improvised from rags and piect.'s of carpet." Contributions to the work of the Near Kast Kclicf may be Bent to Thomas C. Day. Treasurer, Near East Relief, 4 03 City Trust Building, Indianapolis. Ind. U. S. ARMY HEAD ASKS ARMENIAN AID

Washington. Major General James G. Harbord, recently appointed General Pershing's assistant Chief of Staff, has gone on record in support of the work of the Near East Relief in Armenia. He says, in a letter to the Near Kast Relief: 'Of all the heart-breaking distress that exists in other countries, I believe that the Near Kast situation should most appeal to our charitable people. There are many thousands of helpless orphans children of Christian-parents in a Moslem land, who must be helped by our people if they are to survive. The Armenians have preserved their race, their religion and their language under conditions of distress tor over a thousand years. They are worthy of a better fate than to perish, and I believe that will be their fate without substantial financial and moral support from the good people of our country. "J. G. HARBORD, "Major General, U. S. Army." General Harbord Is one of the trustees of the Near East Relief organization, now making a general appeal for funds to continue Its work among the destitute of Bible lands.
