In a single day’s travel, an American
.relief worker saw the mutilated corpses
(jof more than five thousand outraged
women, piled by the roadside.
’ Thousands of living babies have been
hurled into the rushing tides of the
| Euphrates, the Tigris and other rivers.
From the town of Harpoot eighteen
| thousand persons were deported, mostly
11 ’women and girls. Deported—driven for
endless miles over mountains, plains,

Their mounted guards) ex-convicts,
criminals, ruffians of the lowest order.
At the end of sixty-four days the
survivors, one hundred and eighty-five
out of the eighteen thousand, staggered
into a town hundreds of miles from
where they started. Covered only with
rags they were shuddering skeletons,
half dead of their suffering, half blind
with starvation.

.
Of the others, some died of privation
and hardship, some starved to death,
some were eaten by wild beasts. God
alone knows how the rest came to an end
at the hands of worse than wild beasts.
The story of Harpoot is the story of
hundreds of towns in the Near East. In
wretched groups,the survivors are strag- j |
gling in from the deserts. Armenians, j ,
Syrians, Greeks, Jews, bringing disease,
famine, woe as they come. y
There are four million of these ref- [
ugees. They have not even a crust of
bread unless we provide it and four
hundred thousand of them are orphaned
children, little more than babies, help
less, resourceless, hungry. Seventeen
cents a day, five dollars a month, sixty
dollars a year will keep the breath of j
life in one of those emaciated bodies.

almost unavailing. \ <
But these oppressed peoples have been
freed from Turkish rule, through the
victory of the Allies and America.
They need only our help for a little
time to re-establish them elves as self
supporting nations. ,
It will take thirty mi Aon dollars to care
for their immediate needs in food and
clothing, and buy tools, farm implements,
seeds, live stock to put them on a self- i
supporting basis within the year.
This is the work we have to do—
to raise that thirty million dollars—
and to raise it now before the sur
vivors perish.
For the [honor of America we cannot let their misery go unheeded, lhey
have passed through unnameabie hells of suffering. We (cannot blot out their
i past. But before God we are responsible for their future—we are respons
ible for the rebuilding of these races. This is our work. Are you ready?
