HUNGER KNOWS ~ NO ARMISTICE -~ IN CAUCASUS 'éolonel Haskell Reports to Near . East Relief on Desperate Needs of Helpless. “Peace may come elsewhere In the world, but hunger knows no armistice in the Near East,” says Colonel Wil- Ham N. Haskell, Allied high commis- sion in the Trans-Caucasus, in an ap- peal to Near East Relief, 1° Madison .venqc. New York city, for food and supplies for the relief of the starving millions. Colonel Haskell 18 in charge of all operations and disbursements of Near East Relief in the Caucasus. “There is no fuel or shelter for the . greater part of them during the terri- COLONEL HASKELL. i ble winter in the mountains,” he says, “and the existing food supply is entire- ly inadequate for the great number of refugees without resources of any kind. ! “By a recent agreement hetween the premiers of the republics of Armenia, Azerbaidjan and Georgla to cease hos- tilities and settle all differences by arbitration one obstacle to relief work o the Caucasus has been removed and makes accessible a great number of destitute people who otherwise would perash this winter. ¢ “Two hundred thousand destitute ‘krmeniaps and Tartars can now be reached In the districts of Karabagh, Shusha and Nakhichevan, in the south- east section of the Trans-Caucasus, and we are planning to extend our work there, The economic situation Is so desperate and food supplies so scanty that the Geurxlanq have ordered 100, 900 persous, mainly Russian refugees without employment, to leave the city of Tiflis. About 45,000 workers in the oll fields of Baku have been ordered by the Azerbaidjahese to leave the city because there is no work for them and food fs scarce. Around every station along the rail- way are gathered groups of hundreds * of homeless people 1ying huddled to- gether on the ground, the majority of them too weak even to try to help themselves, From time to time the stronger ones climb on freight cars and moye elsewhere, always seeking better conditions, which do not exist. Two hundred and sixty-three thousand homeless refugees from Turkish Arme- nia thus are constantly milling about throughout Russian Armenia, mak- Jdng the relief work conducted by the Americans a problem requiring Infinite patience and organizing ability. “This is especlally true in view of the existence of 248,000 destitute fin- habitants 6f Russian Armenia who pos- sess homes, but no food, as well as ‘160,000 Greeks, Russians, Persians, . iSyrians and Yezidis who have been ' driven out of parts of Transcaucasia. “One. hundred and forty thousand Moslems, whose villages were destroy- :ed in the course of five years of con- stant warfare, are helplessly encamped 4n the open around villages of thelr former enemles, begging infinitesimal iquantities of flour, which they mix with ldirt to give the illusion of nourlsh- ment. “These hundreds of thousands of suf- fering adults, mostly homeless and lacking every necessity of life, having nothing more to lose, are concentrated in a country as yet inadequately po- liced or governed. They constitute a fertile fleld for the seeds of Bolshe- vism or any form of anarchy, the spread of which once loosed would be impossible to predict. “It is generally admitted in the Cau- casus that the Americans of the Near East Relief already have saved the lives of at least 30,000 babies and chil- dren and of 500,000 adult refugees and destitute. This werk still s continu- ing.” I an effort to procure funds to car- ry on the work and save the lives of these hundreds of thousands who oth- erwise will die of starvation and ex- posure Near East Rellef, of which , Cleveland H.
