Le Roy Baldridge, cartocnist of “Stars and Stripes,” the official organ of the American Expeditionary Force in France.) ‘THE GREATEST TRAGEDY OF THE GREAT WAR A PROCLAMATION For more than three years American philanthropy has been a large factor In keeping alive Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other exiles and refugees of Western Asia. On two former ovcasions I have appealed to the American people in behalf of these homeless sufferers, whom the vicissitudes of war and massacre had brought to the extremest need. The response has been most generous, but now the period of rehabilitation is at hand. Vastly larger sums will be required to restore these once prosperous, but now impoverished, refugees to their former homes than were required merely to sustain life in their desert exile. 1t is estimated that about 4,000,000 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the Near East will require outside help to sustain them through the winter. Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their homeland. The vast majority of them are helpless women and children, including 400,000 orphans. The American Committee for Reltef in the Near East is appealing for a minimum of $30,000,000 to be subscribed January 12-19, 1919, with which to meet the most urgent needs of these people. 1, therefore, again call upon the people of the United States to make even more generous contributions than they have made heretofore to sustain through the winter months those, who, through no fault of their own, have been left in a starving, shelter- less condition, and to help re-establish these ancient and sorely oppressed people in their former homes on a self-supporting basis. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. THE WHITB HOUSH 29 November, 1918. AS IN PEACE SO IN RELIEF AMERICA SHOULD LEAD THE WORLD When the above message of the President was placed before Dr. Samuel T. Dutton, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Near East Rellef, he sald: “This appeal of President Wilson to the American people asking their support_ in the attempt of the American Committee for Rellef in the Near East to raise in January at least thirty milllons of dollars, gives a national character to that effort. “The President has spoken several times to the entire world in favor of such ‘wise and beneficent reconstruction as will make the world safe for all peoples. The present appeal is made in the face of the greatest tragedy of the war. It is beyond Europe, in the Near Fast that human wretchedness at present centers.” About the authentieity of the reports of Turkish persecution, Dr. Dutton, said: “Cruelties more diabolical than any in history have been perpetrated by the Ottoman government, and have been reported by absolutely trustworthy eye-witnesses at the American Embassy in Constantinople. The unreality of such persecution to an American, as well as the thousr~ds of miles between us and this greatest crime of civilization, has kept many Americans, so far, from fecling this demand upon thefr bumanity and justice, keenly.” WILL YOU PICK OUT THOSE WHO SHALL PERISH? rding the present actual state of the peoples of the Near East, Dr. Dutton sald: “‘Starvation has become 8o common in these lands tbat one of our workers sent the following report, ‘Heroic men and women who have strained every energy to save lives, now have the unthinkable task of picking out those who shall perish.’ This is the human pressure back of the slogan, ‘They shall mot perish’ being used in the campaign for thirty millions of dollars.” Dr, Dution was asked if he belleved the American people were tired of glving. He said : “America’s money is going out of her pockets faster than ever in her history, because it s America's part in this frightful world cataclysm. It is to these people we owe in part the debt of our untouched homes, our unviolated familles, and our almost normally conducted industries. For these things are thirty millions of dollars en adeguate return? When tho American people come to realize the situation in ‘*he Near East as it actually is, I think not.” Tn concluding his comment upon the President's urgent avpeal Dr., Dutton said: “As the President is trying to lead the natlons to a just peece 50 he desires that America shall lead the world in this supreme effort to save and rehabilitate the Christian peoples who, because they have clung to their faith and our faith, have been compelled to pass through the surpassing travail of the wi SEWING TABLE—Our line gives you the opportunity to find in all periods in mahogany and ma- hogany finish.
