"ARMENIAN NATION "1
LOOKS TO 0. S. FOR
SOW FROM DEATH"
Edwin M. Bulkley, Financier and
Philanthropist, Defines Near
East Relief Work.
New York.—"There. Is na spot on
the globe today where there is more
desperate and hopeless suffering .than
In Armenia," Edwin M. Bulkley, the
well known New York banker, who has
just been elected chairman of the
board of trustees of Nfe&r East Relief,
declared today. Mr. Bulkjey succeeds
the late Alexander J. Hemphill as
head of the American relief work ill
Armenia, Turkey, palesfftte, Syria,
Mesopotamia and Persia. .He has long
been connected with the banking house
of Spencer Trask & Co., and is thor-
oughly conversant with the Near East-
ern situation.
"Elsewhere," Mr. Bulkley continued,
"there Is famine that tears at our
heart-strings artB evokes our pity and
our help. But in Armenia It is not
starvation alone that the people face-
but starvation coming after six years'

MAKES APPEAL FOR
NEAR EAST RELIEF
Says Two and a Half Million
Starving Armenians Need
Help at Once.
FL Sheridan, 111.—Major General
Leonard Wood, commanding the Sixth
Corps Area, has issued a Lenten sacri-
fice appeal for funds to save the Ar-
menians from annihilation by starva-
tion and disease. "I feel that how-
ever many and however worthy the
other appeals which are being made to
the great heart of America these days
may be," he says, "this cry from the
little children cannot remain unan-
swered."
The Near East Relief, 1 Madison
avenue, New City, which has
been charged by Congress with the
American relief work In the whole
Near East, has formed a special "Len-
ten Sacrifice Appeal Committee," of
which Major General Wood Is chair-
man, Charles V. Vickery secretary and
Cleveland H. Dodge treasurer, to put
before the American people the des-
perate need of the Christian popula-
tions of the .Near Enst, who have suf-

has never ended and that .tQcJay Is not
even ended. It Is starvation following''
pestilence, and stalking^ hand in hand
with death from exposure, from vio-
lence or from disease.
"In the mountains between Kars
and AlexandrQpol there are 263,000
hdraan beings without clothing, food or
Shelter lu the bitter winter, who are
wandering from place to place like
people In a nightmare. Unless they
are succored before the end of an-
other month, # they will all be dead.
In southern Persia, the remnant of the
ancient family of Chaldean Christians
have been forced to renounce forever
all hope of ever returning to the home-
land where they have dwelt and flour-
ished for 1,600 years, and to become
pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the
generosity of strangers for life Itself.
Ia Clllda, 15,000 Armenian refugees
have crowded Into the coast regions
seeking safety from the anarchy which
reigns In the Interior* in terror for
their llvea. They live from day to
day on fhe food which Is given them
in the soup kitchens established by
the Near East Relief. Scattered
throughout the Near East, there are
some 7,790,490 Armenians, the re-
mainder of a nation of 4,000,000, who
have neither government; country,
homeland, shelter or hope of regenera-
tion, save that which lies In the great
heart of America. ^
"It Is a tragedy so stupendous that
It Is difficult for us to grasp its mean-
ing. A whole nation, a living, Christian
people, face to face with extermina-
tion today, unless we help. We shall
see an entire nation disappear from
the face of the earth before our eyes
If we withhold our hand^o^ when
the call comes to us to Bav* by giving,
•r by Inaction to condemn to death.
Save the Children!
"Perhaps we cannot save all the
grown peopde of this oldest Christian
nation In the world. But at least we
can save the little children who hold
the future In their hands. They have
wronged no one. They have harmed
no one. And they have suffered
through the precious years of chlld-
hood a calvary of agony and wretched-
ness. For three years the Near East
Belief; an American organization, In-
corporated by Congress, has built up
tha nucleus of a new generation in the

cated, In the name of the American

General Wood's Appeal
As Chairman of a Special Committee
of representative men and women of
the country, charged with placing be-
fore the American people the desperate
peed of two and a half million Arme-
nians, the remnant of the oldest Chris-
tian nation, whose sufferings through
sixteen centuries seem to have broUfeht
them no nearer peace, liberty or se-
eurity, I beg your personal co-opera-
tion and influence to forward an ap-
peal for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to
enable the Near East Relief to go on
with its work of mercy.
Over one hundred thousand little
children who have been kept alive by
American generosity for the past three
years are absolutely dependent upon
the support which America gives them
through the Near East Relief.
feel that however many and how*
ever worthy the 6ther appeals which
are being made to the great heart of
America these days may be, this cry
from the little children of the Itnd
where Christ gave his life for man-
kind cannot remain unanswered.
Will you help to save this martyred
people?
