GREATNEEDS
ARE RELATED
(The following article was inad
vertently omitted from yesterday’s
issue:)
The cumulative effect of reading
for any length of time of Turkish
atrocities upon offenceless and help
less peoples is mental horror. The
Rev. Thomas Jenkins, in his address
last night at Eagles’ hall, made those
who heard his message desirous of
doing what they could to succor the
remnant of Armenia’s massacred peo
ple in this hour of their deepest need.
Mr. Hoover has cabled the American
relief committee recently that, do
what we will, we cannot save 200,000
of the most isolated. These have
been driven into the mountain fast
nesses and the desert. Neither food
nor transportation are available.
Suppose one of them were mine? was
the thought suggested. But the other
700,000 can be saved if America is
generous. And 400,000 of these are
young children.
A recent cable order from the head
of the relief workers wras for 800,000
pairs of children’s overalls—which
gives some idea of the clothing
problem.
Another recent cable from the
workers in Turkey states that an
offer to release 1300 young Armenian
girls and women was made by certain
harems, but that the committee had
to decline to receive them for want
of food and clothing and a place to
house them. Suppose, said the
speaker, one of those girls were my
daughter or sister?
During the past winter 300 chil
dren who had come to an improvised
orphanage for shelter and food had
to be turned away for lack of room
and provisions.
Suppose this had happened in
America, what would we do? Really
it makes no difference where it is, a
child’s pain and a woman’s anguish
are the same everywhere.
Cordova will answer right well this
call from the soul of an expatriated
and suffering people. Three thousand
dollars is asked of the Copper river
valley. Probably the upper valley
will give half of it, leaving the other
half for Cordova. Five dollars a
month will save one adult or child
until they are able to go back to their r—
homes, which cannot be until the
tyeace conference deals with Turkey
ancl provides a mandatory for Ar
menia.
The following committee has been
appointed to have the matter of col
lecting our quota in hand: H. S.
Slater, G. K. Betts, A. G. Shriver, E.
P. Zeigler, E F. Medley, Mrs. J. Ly
dick and Mrs Lew’ Smith.
Keep the Money at Home
The Times has information which
it believes to be reliable that there is
a man in the city who makes it nis
business to fleece people by pretend
ing to sell them a gallon keg of booze
when in reality there is but a small
quantity of booze at each bung of the
keg and the balance of the space is
filled with water. If you buy booze ]
and must have it, we are also in- j
formed that there is a source from i
which it can be procured without
danger of molestation either to the
seller or the purchaser. Be sure of
your source of supply before purchas
ing. Don’t be fleeced by strangers
from out of town. Patronize home
industry.—Ketchikan Times.
