llTaanor Franklin Egan In Saturday
Evening Pott Describe Condition
Among People of Western Asia.
iyEncirui4 GOD, it's all trne!
Nobody has ever told the
whole truth I Nobody could!"
Thus Eleanor Franklin Egan, In
the 4 Saturday Evening Post, quotes
Howard Heinz of Pittsburgh, Her
bert Hoover's representative ' in the
Near East, on the real conditions in
Armenia as. he saw them with his
cwn eyes.
Mr. Heinz had been one of those
- . vrno naa Deuevea ine siones oi star
imtlon and death in Armenia had
t een exaggerated. Not until he went
tlmself to the Caucasus did his
views change. Then he was shaken
to the foundations of his soul by
vhat he saw.
Mrs. Egan, herself, admits she
vent to Armenia in a doubtful frame
cf mind. She had been told by Mr.
Heinz after his return:
"Ton will be sorry all your life
' AL.l vm.A. -tit
frill make scars on you that you will
is ever get rid of. But, nevertheless,
rou "must go. It is a duty.
Fearful 1 Awful! Horrible!
m Unbelievable! are some of the ad
jectives Mrs. Egan says must be used
Irt speaking of conditions in the Near
East, where Near East Relief, 1
Madison Avenue, New York, sup-
ported by contributions from ' the
American people, is conducting the
only organized effort to save the
lives of these utterly destitute mil
Hons. Everything she saw and heard
Justified the necessity for quick and
generous aid from America. Her
story of what she witnessed rein
forces the call of the Near East Re
lief for aid for stricken Armenia!
"The Hanger grin' is everywhere
evident, Mrs. Egan writes. The
pitiful hundreds seemed to me to be
weeping constantly. Not profoundly
a 3 in grief, but whimperingly, ap-
peallngly as in unbearable physical
distress. A terrible population. Un
speakably filthy and tatterdemalion
tlirongs; shelterless, death stricken
throngs milling from place to place,
children crying aloud, women sobbing
in broken inarticulate lamentation;
icen utterly hopeless and reduced to
staggering weakness, heedless of the
te ars rolling down their dirt-streaked
faces.
That is her picture of the Ar
menians most in evidence in Ar
menia. These are the throngs. Then
she turns to the mobs. "Large num
. v bt?rs .here and there, wide-eyed,
J enger, hands outstretched in wolfish
supplication ; teeth bared in a ghast-
1r irrln that hart Inn sr (nra amti to
stalle an emaciated skin-stretched
giin, fixed and uncontrollable.
"Is it any wonder," she asks, "that
, C could not swallow my food? I
tl jew It to the children in the raven
ing hordes and started small riots.
The children fought together, snarl
ed and clawed at one another for
small bits of army biscuit or morsels
of bully beef.
"And then I was told that many of
tl em were so starved that solid food
was likely to kill them instantly.
This was too terribly true. Yet in the
whole length and breadth of the
land there was not an ounce of food
of the kind necessary for such cases.
At Kara I saw one man die with
bread in his teeth. And if you will
consent to look with me upon a too
- awful thing, I will add that he show
el evidence of having eaten too much
grass.
1 went hungry in Armenia and
I associate remembered pangs of my
own with all my recollections of the
terrible land. I had plenty, of food
with me but for days on end I could
not eat. It was a physical lmpos
sibllity.

, "The starvation grin, so common
in Armenia, a described by Mrs.
Egan in her article.
"And I came to a point, too, when
to look upon things that had to be
looked upon set my heart to quaking
in a horror difficult to describe.
Of her first sight in Armenia of
the terrible condition of the people,
Mrs. Egan writes of the scenes on
her way to Kars :
" U 1 1 W feu
were people down on their knees
searching for grasses to eat. Those
near the railroad lifted their heads
and gazed at our train as it rushed
past, and I caught glimpses of ter
rible faces. An pld man sitting at
the top of an embankment waved a
handful of grass at me where I stood
at the car window, then threw his
head back and laughed a maniacal
laugh. I began then to feel the cold
chills with which I was to ehiver
for days on end.
Of Kars she writes :
"It had been raining for days and
wherever one looked one saw nothing
but misery and mud. Between the
railroad tracks were unsightly pools
and puddles --through which many
human scare-crows trudged back and
forth heedless of all else save the
fact that a train had come in.
"They were a multiple Lazarus
and the train was the rich man's
table. They were begging for
crumbs. Whenever a face appeared
at a car window they would rush in
groups eager, their hands out
stretched, their teeth bared, their
eyes alight with feverish hope. And
I began to hear for the first time
the whining indescribable phrase that
sounded to me like -'O-na-ne;
O-na-ne. It was so feebly, so plain
tively murmured, 'O-na-ne. They
were all saying 'O-na-ne. "
Mrs. Egan asked what It meant and
was told the nearest equivalent was
"Oh, my soul ! "But. she says, "it
was more than that It was a prayer
for mercy.
"I wish I could describe the throng.
I can write down words and they
may convey something, but there was
a something not conveyable in words ;
a degradation too deep; a hopeless
ness too utter; a hovering whimper
that seemed to rise mostly from the
hunger-stretched lips 'of childhood.
ELEANOR FRANKLIN EGAN,
Whose vivid story of condition In
the Near East Is arousing sympathy
for the suffering peopla there.
"And that starvation grin! It Is
the most awful thing. Most of the
children were hideous little skele
tons with puffed out purple bellies
and there were many women swollen
with starvation dropsy, who, not be
ing able to walk alone, had to lean
on the shoulders of emaciated men
husbands, fathers, brothers.
Further on Mrs. Egan writes she
began to feel a great resentment and
ask unanswerable questions. Why
did the authorities permit the move
ment of the people Into the districts
where there was no food. Why was
relief so slow in arriving. Where
were the workers?
"I had to see worse places than
Kars before I began to realize such
resentful questioning was not Justi
fied. The truth was the American
relief organization was doing a.
gigantic work but the further truth
was there were not enough .workers.
There was a refugee population of.
nearly half a million.
Describing a makeshift hospital
before the arrival of the Near East
Relief workers, Mrs. Egan writes : '
"The sick In their unbelievable,
rags were lying around on the floors
bundles of unimaginable wretched
ness. The doctor was not doing any
thing at all for them. .What could
he do? He had not so much as a
single ounce of medicine of any kind.
The little people were more pitiable
than the adults. The ward, if I may
call It that, had In It not one stick of
furniture of airy kind and the chil
dren were all lying on he dusty
and rubblsh-etrewn floor with nothing
under them and no covering save
the rags they wore.
"A little dying person In a' corner
seemed not to bother anyone much.
He was breathing his last. The doc
tor was very sorry but what could
he do? There wa nobody In at
tendance not anybody at alL
"But, oh, the Americans were con
ing. That was what they said. Look

step from the point of departure until
arrival at the Nation Homeland. It
Inclides: ,
Centra! emigration bureaus at Co

register and organize emigration from
Eastern and Central Europe and Scan
dinavia, the latter from Great Britain.
British colonies. France, Italy, Spain
Switzerland, Holland, the Balkan re
nins ala. North Africa and Asia.
District emigration bureaus in every
cour try from which emigration will
take place, local emigration bureaus in
all important Jewish centers and emi-
Krat.on bureaus in the chief ports, of
departure, such as Odessa, Trieste, Sa
lonica and Constantinople.
A central immigration office at
either Jaffa or Haifa, whichever is
made the chief port of arrival, with
brarches at all other places of entry,
to act as a vast receiving station for
alj immigrants to regrulate and assist
their movements to the parts of Tales
tine there they are to settle, and to
keep international - headquarters in
London -informed as to the proper
movement of .emigration hospitals,
quarantine stations and buildings to
accommodate Immigrants are to be
erected at airports of entry.
To insure the highest personnel com
prising the first detachments to Pal
estine, every emigrant is to be sub
jected to a rigid "physical examination
and classified as to occupation and fi
nancial' means, so that each group of
emigrants will contain the proper pro
portions of all trades, professions and
commercial interests.
Zionist' officials point out that the
difficulty of restraining wholesale im
migration to Irjififftine from all parts
of the wort&-la becoming an acute
problem. 35 elaborate system of
handling and' checking immigration has
been devised, 'stf was explained, to
guarantee that only persons perfectly
fit, physically and otherwise, to live
in Palestine, will comprise the pion
eers whose duty it will be to reclaim
the country and that they w!".. be
evenly balanced as to professions and
occupations so that there will be no
dearth or over abundance of any kind.
The situation in Constantinople has
become so acute owing to the large
number of refugees from all parts of
the world stranded there en their way
to Palestine, the Zionist headquarters
in Constantinople report, that an in
formation bureau has been estab
lished to inform Zionists all over the
world of conditions in Palestine and
to serve as a check on the premature
mass-migration.
Orders will be issued from London,
much the same as from an army'a
general headquarters, authorizing the
movement of groups from certain
countries, fixing the number and the
classes of persons to leave and super
vising and . directing all negotiations
with governments and transportation
companies necessary for all stages of
the journey of the emigrant.
To carry out this scientific emigra
tion on as detailed a scale as possi
ble, it is planned to organize separate
groups of agriculturists, laborers, and
artisans, each group to receive special
training relating to Its work as It will
be in Palestine and Instruction in He
brew, with a view to Its becoming the
national language of Palestine.
Every prospective emigrant will be
required to fill out personnel card,
himself. Through these cards, which
giving every bit of information about
are similar to the army personnell
cards the immigration will be, regulated
at headquarters.
An emigration buroau will also be
established In New York "according to
the plans proposed, to handle emi
grants from North. South and Central
America. There are thousands of Jews
