During this time, he trav- eled extensively through the Holy i | | | MAKCLAY ACHESUN {Land and through the Armenian | districts of Turkey to the north, He made a special duty of the Armenian people, and lectured cxtensively on that subject upon his return to America. Teaching in an International col- lege formed only a part of his ex- perience. For a time, he was {n charge of Y. M..C. A. work among | loggers in the spruce camps of the {northwest. Later, he became asso- ciate general secfetary of the New Era movement of the Presbyterian church, and still later was placed in charge of the field organization of the China famine fund. In addition, while supervising reliet work in the | Near East, he served as a sort of un- official diplomatic agent in 8yria, Palestine, Greece, Turkey, the Rus- sian Caucusus and Persia. His chief activities have been cen- tered on problems involving the care |of approximately 33 thousand or- phans now being fed, clothed and trained by Near East relief for lives | of self-support and usefulness. Other | problems have arisen from time to time to confront him such as the necessity for providing relief for thousands of refugees flecing from the scenes of the Druse warfare in 8yria. {LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS ' CHAUTAUQUA PRODUCTION “The Goose Hangs High” Meets With Approval — French Sees De- mand for Spoken Drama | An almost capacity audience |grected the production of “The |Goose Hangs high” under the aus- pices of the New Britain Chautauqua association at the Central Junior | high school last evening by's pro- fessional cast.
