FATE OF MILLION CHRIST
IANS REST WITH PE0
PIE OF AMERICA.
f Red Cross Tlnnked by King
George for Relief Work.
Washington, Nov. 21. Upon
the quick charity of America
largely depends the fata of a
million Christians driven from
Asia Minor by Turkish military
success, it is . declared that Na
tional Headquarters of the
American Red Cross. Greece
either will be a sepulchre or a
place of rebirth for these atrick
en people, whose desperate
plight is futher depicted in a
cablegram received by the Red
Cross from Vice Chairman A
Ross Hill who is directing relief
work from Athens.
King George, of Greece,
through Dr. Hill, sent thanks to
the Red Cross for its aid and ex
pressed the appreciation of his
nation to the American people.
The Red Cross is rapidly per
fecting its organ zation in
Greece, said Dr. Hill's message,
which went on to state:
"Hundreds of thousands of
refugees are filling the GreeK
cities and islands. These con
sist largely of mothers with
children who, with old people,
are sole remmants of once flour
ishing populations driven into
sea by fhe Turks. These miser
able women, cold, hungry, des
pairing shelterless, walk the
streets with babies clinging to
their skirts. In many refugee
centers women who lost sons
and husbands gaze from leaden
eyes, life over. Their little chil
dren are only hostages for the
future of that element of Greek
people who first established
themselves in Asia Minor three
thousand years ago.
"In many barracks children
and old people lie day and night,
flies eating at sores on their
bodies and faces, their future
black.
"King George thanks the
American Red Cross for its
help and extends the apprecia
tion of his nation to the Amer
ican people.
"Smallpox is spreading from
concentration camp to another.
Meanwhile (ireece is awaiting
new floods of refugees. Tne
race is on between American
Red Cross supplies and , these
fresh shiploads of people. The
- Greek government has tele
graphed its representatives in
counties asking the utmost help
from every nation immediately."
