Cold Facts for Warm Hearts This is the caption over an appeal which the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief is scattering through the United States. A local committee has undertaken the raising of a fund here to assist the alleviation of suffering and misery in these stricken countries. The condition of Western Asia was discussed at a conference in New York attended by consuls,
ambassadors, teachers from American colleges in
Turkey and other officials.
The extent of the destitution is best set forth
in the appended table:

000,000 will be needed during the six winter months of 1917-1918. It also estimates that the cost of sustaining life per person per month will average about $5. No government aid is available for this purpose. The committee says :
diplomatic relations with Turkey, the work of relief carried on by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian relief was so thoroughly organized .that arrangements were easily made for continuing that work in every department, even in ' the absence of the Embassy and United States Consuls at different points in the country. The work is now being carried on eff ecttvely at' all the centers under Increasing: friendliness on the part of the Turkish officials and with a need that is constantly growing, greater as the winter approaches. Abetter from
the American Representative now In Constantinople, dat
ed August 17. 1917, which has Just reached me, confirms this. ' ' ' " - .

deportation, exposure, starvation; disease."
Over 2,000,000 are now homeless and in dire distress. Thousands of Greeks deported from the sea coast of Asia Minor are now in danger of starvation. 400,000 of those In
need are orphans. - ;
Little children scarcely able to feed themselves live
absolutely alone in deserted homes. - - . . 75,000 children under twelve years of age are starving in Syria and the Lebanon alone. ' Sufferers in the Lebanon district recently. were dying at the rate of 1,000 a day.. 500,000 refugees have fled the Turkish dominions and in their temporary homes cry for help. , Relief work still goes on in Turkey uninterupted by break of diplomatic relations. It is freely administered in Persia, the Caucasus' and elsewhere. Distribution is wisely and economically made by absolutely reliable agents. Every dollar contributed goes for relief, none for expenses.' ; $30,000,000 wiU be required for this winter's needs. $5.00 per month will save a life.
The United States and other governments appropriate millions of dollars for relief of women and children of France, Belgium and other' lands. But the Armenians, Syrians and Greek Christians of Western Asia are scattered races to which the United ' States cannot legally make a loan. Exiled from their homes, robbed of their possessions, wanderers In a desolate land, their only hope
for the barest necessities of life is in American chanty. ed and beyond.
They are an innocent, industrious people, and ordinarily are the wealth producers of the land. t
Read this appeal and then act: "The facts terrible, gripping, heartbreaking facts are here. The cry of anguish sobs through these pages from beginning to end. Perhaps heart and conscience have been moved to the depths, what now? If this terrific voice of need does not impel us to work and give, and give and work, and yet again, what cry from the riven soul of mankind can lead us to action? Let the utmost measure of devotion be swift and sure. Amid the deafening, clamoring voices of war we hear the feeble cry of innocent people crushed by a fearful tragedy,, bereft and comfortless. O Friend, O Brother, they shudder on the brink! Shall we' reach out hands, warm strong, 6teady to hold them back to life and cheer them back to hope again, until peace once more blesses with sweet quietness a broken-hearted world? Let us do it today and again tomorrowforgetting the' calendar until our limit is reach-

We append copies of recent cablegrams that tell the story of the misery which we are asked to relieve : Cable, from Urumiah Persia via American Consulate Tiflis Russia: October 9th. "If what I saw today in Sunni Mosque Urumiah could be transplanted tea hours westward to -Madison Square, New York, every newspaper in America would ring with story of most abject spectacle in world at war, and millions for relief would follow straight way. Refugees from mountain villages, driven from ripening crops, living un
sheltered on stones, indescribable rags, starvation sickness and filth, human beings in state of oriental street dogs with whom they compete for offal. Work already done by Americans for Armenians, Syrians and Assyrians is national triumph but vastness of continuing need is over-whelming. Turkish speaking reinforcements and field reorganizations on larger scale necessary. Congregational Presbyterian Mission Turkey, Persia vindicated by brilliant present service of Americans and trained helpers. (Signed) "Ellis Beury." (William T. Ellis and Charles H. Beury are the commissioners our committee sent at their own expense to investigate the conditions in Persia and the Russian Caucasus). Cable from Geneva, October 4th. "Reports just at hand from our distributing agents show late cessation grants for relief caused great distress and mortality. This demonstrates we had been reaching needy and no other agency takes our place. Recent grants from fund are most timely, saving many lives and greatly encouraging workers. Newly received funds largely employed for purchasing supplies food from newly harvested crops before same is cornered with resulting increase in prices. All people remaining reported well and greatly uplifted and cheered by resumption of relief credits. Express determination- to see it through. Facing winter conditions hopefully. (Signed) "W W. Peet." Cable from Aleppo, via Switzerland: "For efficacious help we need great sums. The last
amounts for the orphanage were quite insufficient. For lack of bread, it is impossible to help any longer eight
hundred children in Armenian churches. Probably tomorrow we wil be obliged to send them away."

OMEN of America, your country is at war
against the world's mightiest military power. We entered it when all the nations holding
Germany at bay were throwing in their man-power and money-power, spending their millions to end thiB war by winning it. And still Germany was not defeated. We entered it when, with their , farm folks in the trenches, the fields of our Allies were being plowed and sown by the women. . But there were not enough, though they worked from dawn till dark. Those crops have been pitifully small. The usual outside sources of supply have been cut off and our Allies must depend on us. The women will work and the soldiers will fight to the death, but against hunger they are helpless. Germany knows. She has said that if she can only starve England she will win.
If our Allies have to yield -to Germany because of
hunger, America alone will have to shoulder the burden of winning the World War. And so to save our Allies and their liberty and our own, we have pledged our youth, our wealth, our alL But we are not prepared to throw millions of soldiers
into the field at once. Our money can not "buy bread and
meat in Europe for our Allies. There is little there to buy. We Must give them food Real Food! They need wheat, meat, canned foods, fats. And though thousands of tons of it will be sunk by submarines, still we must ship, ship, ship, until we have saved democracy with food. But how can we do this and feed ourselves when we must send our Allies 220,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, instead of the usual 88,000,000 bushels; when we are already sending them three times as much meat as we have sent them before? Moreover, corn meal, of which we have more than enough, can't readily be shipped to Europe now because it spoils. Women of America, even as the women of France are guarding the fields day and night, your country calls to you to stand guard over the world's commissary. That commissary is the food supply of America. There is enough in it if you will guard it. Your task in this war is to guard food for the soldiers and home workers of our Allies. They are fighting for YOU! Three times a day at each meal think of America's glorious privilege: To feed the world while it fights its way to freedom. Then remember that you are standing guard, that the opportunity to win this war for humanity is yours. -
