REFUGEES NEED
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK. Nov. J. — Twent)
thousand fatherless children of Ar
menian and Syrian refugees in tbi
Caucasus are in need of immediati
aid to save them from demoralizatioi
and starvation, it was declared hen
today by the Rev. P. W. MacCallum
missionary in Turkey for the Ameri
can board of commissioners for for
eign missions, just returned from re
lief work at Tiflis and vicinity. It
the Caucasus, which he described ai
mountainous, with severe winters, hi
said there are 300,000 Armenian am
Syrian refugees from Turkey, most);
women and children, as the men wen
massacred by the Turks.
"The Turks made three drtvei
against Russia, which brought Into thi
Caucasus, which is Russian, largi
numbers of refugees," he said, “Ti
1914 more than 60,000 Armenians tlm
before the Turkish advance. The nev
year 30,000 more migrated.
"The third drive is known as thi
Alashgert campaign of July, 191f>. Thi
Armenians of the district of Alashgeri
In Turkey were by it compelled to flei
to the Caucasus. It also caused thi
evacuation of the city of Van by thi
Russians. This city had been defend
ed in April and May by the Armeniar
population against a strong Turkist
army. Russian aid had arrived just
in time to save it, and the Turks rar
away, but when the Russians heard ol
the Turkish advance toward Cash
gert, fearing their line of retinal
might be cut off, they evacuated Var
and retreated to the Caucasus, taking
with them all the Armenians and
Syrians there.
I his was by far the larges' influx
of refugees. They were attacked bj
Kurds on the way and 7,000 killed
About 20,000 died of cholera, ‘yphoid
and typhus after reaching Russia. Tht
total number of refugees from Van ami
vicinity was about 200,000. In these
, ways some 300,000 people came to tht
Caucasus in great destitution aftei
losing large numbers, especially o
men, and all their possessions.
“Relief work by the American com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian relie
began in January, 1916, and is stil
going on and growpig tu extent am
importance. The Russian govern men
has helped the refugees generously
having given them up to the prtsen
nearly $10,000,000. This supplied then
with food, paid their rent and made i
possible for 5,000 orphans, but dui
to the financial difficulties of the gov
eminent this aid is now cut off.
"The American committee has glvei
clothing and bedding to 50,000 of thi
most needy refugees, arid has also pro
vided large quantities of tea, sugar
kerosene and fuel, where most needed
During the summer of 1916 the worl
of repatriation was undertaken am
hundreds of farmers were returned t<
their homes in the province of Vai
and supplied with oxen, plows, seei
and so forth. This most promisini
work, however, was interrupted by thi
evacuation of that region by the Hus
sians in August, 1916, and the commit
tee has decided that the time for re
patriation on a large scale will b<
1 only after final victory over the Turk!
| has been won.
/imuiig me ret ugees are compara
lively few men, as more of them thai
of women and children fell in the ntaa
sacres. As a result there are in the
Caucasus today 20,000 fatherless
children in need of immediate aid. O:
th^se the American committee is al
ready helping 5,000 by giving them t
small monthly grant for food in theii
homes.
“Fifteen thousand more appeal foi
similar help, but find no funds art
available at present. The commit
tee is now organizing an orphanage
tor 300 boys in Erivan. Boys of good
intelligence and sound physique will
,be taken in with a view to quick train
ing in trades, farmink and education
These boys will be prepared to art as
leaders along these lines and fitted to
take the place of the artisans, Indus
trial leaders and teachers who were
killed.
the 300,000 refugees in the Cau
casus and the conquered provinces of
Turkey, 250.000 are without employ
ment and dependent on charity. The
committee has begun work in spinning
and weaving, giving employment to
about 4,000, mostly women and girls.
The moral effects of work are very
noticeable. The life of a refugee with
nothing to do but stretch out his hand
for charity is extremely demoralizing
and discouraging. Many of the women
to whom fhe cdmmlttee Is gtvlng wOft
come on foot from places as distant
as ten to thirteen' miles, and say what
they value most is not the money they
.earn, but the mental and spiritual re
lief employment brings them.
"Great gratitude Is expressed for
the aid sent from America. It seems
to them very wonderful that a coun
try so far away and so entirely with
out any political aspirations in those
regions should make such large con
tributions by this disinterested philan
thropy.
"The American committee has at no
time taken up the question of the po
litical future of Armenia, but if the
statesmen who have to deal with this
question after the war secure for the
Armenians and Syrians and other
small nations such a degree of liberty
as will insure safety to life, honor and
property, they will have done more
than justice demands.”

' Butterfly catching has been con
i vertbd from a schoolboy’s amusement

children have already handed in 5'0,000
