Unless American aid comes all the Armenian and Syrian Christians will have disappeared from the earth by the time the war ends. These are the cold facts given at a recent New York conference of re- turned American consul from Turk- ish territory, teachers from American college: in Turkey and physicians and missionaries. Many who attend- ed have returned in the past few weeks. The suffering of children through- out the Bible lands has been especial- ly severe.

At the beginning of the war Mar- sovan had 30,000 people; 12,000 men were killed by rifle shots or with the axe. Missionaries from Syria reported the deaths reached 1000 per day, and that there were at least 50,000 or- phans in Lebanon alone. Dr. A.
