Where is Armenia and who are tbo
Armenians and why should America
give to an Armenian and Syrian Re
lief Fund?
| One of the oldest of all the Chris
' lian peoples of the earth. Thai is the
Armenians. They live in a province
that lies to the eastward of Asia
Minor, west of Persia and to the south
of the Black Sea.
It is, or would be, a beautiful coun
try, one of earth’s oldest regions. It
has been under the domination of tea
Turk for a very long time and what
I the Turk touches he pollutes and de
! stroys. Despite tho Turkish rule and
>.J»V A WUi 1 JUQ vu
and persecutions Armenia was one of
the fairest parts of (he Turkish Em
pire. The Armenians made of it a
wonderful agricultural country, a gar
den of the Near East. The land wa3
fertile and the sheltered valleys have
a wonderful climate.
Armenians have been hated by the,
Turks from the beginning. The Mos
lem hated them because they were
industrious'ana prosperous and he
hated with a hatred that occasionally
flamed into murder, loot and rape.
When the Great War came and Tur
key threw in lior lot with the Ger
mans, the Turk saw a chance to ror
ever rid his empire of the Armen
ians.
It was an order that 1,800,000 An
menians he deported. Of these 600,
000 escaped in one wav and another
The remaining 1 2)0.000 were driven
into the deserts of Mesopotamia and
Syria. As they went they were killed
by bayonet, rjSe, club, knife and dag
ger. Some wore driven over moun
tain precipices, thousands of others
were driven into deep rivers, others
were driven'into the heart of tne des
ert. to die. With the Syrians, the
Greeks,, and the .lews of Western
Asia the Turks followed the same
plan. Millions of people died.
The campaign far the relief of
these stricken people begins in Ar
kansas, February 3 and in a week
75 counties in Arkansas will be
asked to contribute $150,000 as her
share cf this fund. Pulaski county
will be expect 'd to contribute $30,000,
op one-fifth ol the total for the state
Thirty million dollars is the fund to
be raised in America.

the work is so large, and the distress
so great, that America is called on to
contribute $50,000,000 to save these
peoples.
The campaign to raise this fiwd
has been fixed to b»gin February 5

that Arkansas wilt do Its share la
