By estimate there are i 500,000 survivors from the massacres. The majority of these are women and children, who are generally dependent upon charity. In a majoirty of cases they are entirely unable to work, and in many cases the Turkish government prohibils them from working or earn- ing a living.

The relief commiitee in Constantino- ple is able by means of devoted mis- slonaries still at their posts and through hospitals and Red Cross work- ers to reach many of the deportation camps and some of the caravan cen- ters through which the exiles pass. W. 'W. Peet, treasurer of the board’s mis- sions in Turkey, is also treasurer of the Red Cross and of several commit- tees which work from Constantinople.
