ARMENIA AND CHINA RELIEF NEEDS TOLD AT DISTRICT MEETING Armenia and China relief needs were presented realistically at the meeting of the Sixth . district reliet committee, headed by Timothy Nicholson, at hie Westcott hotel Wednesday noon. A. C;Waung, of Earlham, Chinese student, spoke of the deplorable conditions existent in China, and Dr. George B. Hyde, national Held representative for the . Near East Relief, vividly told of what he had seen and experienced in the Armenian districts. ' Dr. Hyde'$ speech was a tribute to the Armenian Christians who have suffered so terribly at the hands of the Turks. He related what he knew of the outraged womanhood of Armenia; how he had saved the life of a young girl practically starved to death and being fought for by vicious police hounds; and of the faithfulness of the helpless Turkish victims to the Christian belief. Tells Experiences ; "I have seen caves and wells filled with the bodies of dead Christians," he said. During the past six or seven years the Turks have caused the loss through massacres of nearly one half of the entire Armenian . population. They have deliberately picked 300,000 of the best-of Armenia's womanhood arid are planning to bring them into the Mohammed belief." He gave much credit to the British soldiers for the protection rendered the helpless women and children, but was scathing in his denunciation of the way in which Franceohaa failed to protect. the Christians.. His appeal for -Armenia was as much for, or more, because of charity - . j Kelsey Speaks Meade A state secretary of the Armenian and China i relief i' told of the 6,000,000. dependent and'- starving people of China, who he, said, were mostly children under 11 years old. "This appeal is not fiction." he said, "it i3 a fact. We are encouraged in the belief that the Chinese harvest in July will greatly relieve present starving conditions, but until that time we must continue. It is true that people are getting tired of drives, but it still remains that we have our three daily meals while others are starving." Dr. C. D. Royse, state officer for both reliefs, spoke. Timothy Nicholson presided. Approximately 20 persons were present. v It is planned to have each county organized for an active campaign of relief for the week of April 24 to May seventh.

- RXJRSOMES AN SHE'S VOti ARE V Bishop Laurence Deplores Commercialism in Ministry (By Associated Press) BOSTON, April 13. Bishop William awrence in his annual address to the Massachusetts diocesan convention of the Episcopal church today deplored the number of clergymen who were mixing business with holy orders to eke out a living. Their number was startling, he said, and the condition was one which he regarded as symptomatic of a letdown in standards of high devotion, industry, self-sacrifice and efficiency. The danger of a commercialized ministry, the bishop said, was due in part to small salaries. "I believe," he declared, "that unless there is a bracing up of public sentiment, respect for holy orders will decline both in the church and in the business world."
