STARVATION THREATENS

Desperate Situation Of Remnant
Of Armenians
HELP THEM AT ONCE
The desperate situation of the
remnant of the Armenians which has
; survived Turkish cruelties is de
scribed in a cablegram sent to Near
East Relief Headquarters by C. E
Vickrey, executive secretary of that
organization, who has just conclud
ed a tour of Western Asia. His cal le
gram auys:
“Have just returned from interior
of Caucasus where million refugees
and other Armenians have reached
xetate of destitution that l-eggers all
description. Most of able bodied men
have already perished fighting for Al
lied cause. Remnant chiefly women
land children are surrounded by bos
tile Turks, Kurds and Tartars, and
face almost certain extermination thb
winter unless help on largo scale
comes from America. These peo-,1
universally recognized in normal
times as the most thrifty industrious
and prosperous people of Western
Asia have now been for four years
exiled or fugitive from their ances- j
tral homes. Their last vestige of nr
: gotiable property has been sa< rifiecj j
for food and protection. Repatriation
this year utterly impossible. Turns)
still hold their homes. Attempt?! le
turn means death. Thousands o
women and children have I ut a sin
gle garment to cover their nakedness,
and to protect them front the bitter-1
ly cold winter on the high plateaus,
around Mount Ararat. Empty Hour
sacks fearing names of well-known i
American firms are improvised as l
clothing for children. Rags are used
as shoes. All flour and food staples
now comes through Near East Re
lief but total supply in prospect will
last only few weeks at most. Hun
dreds of tons of cast-off clothing
from America could Le used imme
diately. Thirty thousand tons of
foodstuffs iu addition to present sup
ply must be provided or this winter
will t ring the greatest 'harvest of j
death from famine that has yet 1 een
known by this martyr nation."
Give money, give clothing. Send j
'it immediately to E. W. Tglehart,

MANY OF THE CHURCHES
GET THE HEW YEAR
Hat few churches in and about An
napolis were dark last night, as most
if them greeted the New Year with
Watch Night services. The Old Year
was rung out and the New Year rung
;n at nearly every church in town, and
Tie services were solemn and impres
sive.
In a few instances the Watch Night
services began at 9 o’clock with
j and a social hour and then a prayer
service between 11 o’clock and mid
night. Short addreses were delivered,
giving brief reviews of the work of the
last year and phoph°cies of the future
Most of the services began at 10:30 or
11 o'clock, lasting until after midnight,
end consisting of songs and prayer*
and talks by the pastors.
Thanksgiving services were held in
the Catholic church at 7:30 and S
o’clock, wi*h a sermon and solemn
benediction. There were masses in all
the churches today, which is also tht
, Feast of the Circumcision, and attend
f aace on this day is obligatory.

A TEARFUL WELCOME
Ail nr.apr ? I ado a fond adieu to
oid 1915* at midnight, despite the fact
that it had been a year of many trials j
and tribulations, and the H C 1,, had
made it a year long to !e roiveml or -I
ed, rot to men: ion coal ril es and I
K' ll era! upheaval in jovial conditions
even w here.
Tiio hearty v.ebcme given to the
New Ve.tr. 1920. was a r.oisy one
Hells elan 'ed, vhivtics 1 lew and the j
sirea "Big Jim." screeched its loud-:
est. longest screech. Pistols were!
lire ! .i. random, long ! efore and long!
••tier midnight, and paodemonittm;
reigned. It was a lrllarions greeting j
given 1920. Even though the flowing;
1 owl was thought to be conspicuously j
absent, there was a scent of some-;
I thing in the air that told a drop or \
two must I e leu somewhore for
sound ody in these parts.
I The streets were alive with people. 1
making merry and homeward 1 omul
: from church or dance hall. At an
, early hour this morning the rain le
gan and until nearly 8 o’clock there
■ was a continuous downpour, wash
ing away some of J.hc remnants of
dirty snow and slush that have hid- j
den the sidewalks and streets for a,
week or more. !
That the New Year entere 1 ‘/vet" j
is no indication that the condition!
will prevail, and to indicate as much,
, the sun soon came out and dried tp
tilings considerably. The weather!
forecast is ‘‘fair and colder."
This new year will have the a.ldi
;tonal day which leap year gives it.
and there will le 3G6 days and Feb
ruary will have 29 days. It is aiso !
distinguished as a "woman’s year";
It may le that 1920 will discover some
way of 1 ringing do vn the high cost
t of living, of settling industrial prob
lems. so that labor and capital, like
;he lion and the lamb, may lie down
together, and without the lamb being
inside the lion, and possibly, jus. j
possibly, some method inav come out,
r of 1930 that will make Congress ac
tually do something toward settling
t the problems that confront the conn- 1
. try.
All in all. 1920 promises to he a
greater and a Letter year than was
, 1919. Business prospects were never
t etter. according to all accounts.
Things are becoming better adjusted
, than they have been since the war in
’ Kurope broke out. and this- udjust
; ment is expected to continue until
’ things are on a stable basis —not the j
, ! a sis or prewar times, tut a basis
, hat will permit an approach at least
, ,o normal conditions. Men will be
come accustomed to doing without the
. cup that cheers and also inebriates,
and as a nation. America will be so
i erer than it ever has 1 een. The
prosperity that has come to the na
tion, it is expected, wiil continue
through the year and grow greater
writ each passing day.
Happy New Year——
THE CARDINAL SENDS
NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE
:
> "it is my sincere wish that all of
our people will be blessed with hap

, "But happiness depends, in a great
measure, upon ourselves. We must
live good, virtuous lives if we desire
the real joy of living. Only by faith
fully of serving all of God’s laws can
we expect the graces necessary to,
our spiritual and temporal wel-be-;
lug. We are all amenable to His di-■
vine laws and we must conform to,
them in order to fce worthy of His
1 enediciions. In all of our vicissi-;
I tudes— in all our joys and sorrows—
i Y.a must lobk to Him for grace and
guidance. We our own ef
forts. weave a crown of future happi
’ ness for ourselves.
"By doing our duty to Him and
I our fellow-man our happiness is. In- 1
deed, assured us.”
