TUB HAKItK DAILY TliUKS, liAUKK. VT.. ilOMJAV, MARCH 7, 191. M Homer Fitts Co. Incorporated "The Store Where Quality Counts VOILES of Rare Beauty Each Day Brings More Lovely Patterns to Our Spring Displays These new arrivals come in a wealth of smart designs and striking colorings, bringing hints of Summer.

That they need not be costly is forcefully dem onstrated by the choice values in our Spring dis play of Voiles at prices ranging from 50c to 89c a yard ONLY HOPE IS FROM AMERICA. Armenian People Are Suffering Great Deprivation. On Friday afternoon last, Ilowland hall was fairly well filled with an audi enoe assembled to listen to Mrs. R. S. Kmrich of Boston on the work of the Near East relief. The address of Mr. F.mrirh, n she portrayed conditions in the Turkish empire, was most inspir ing and appealing. She gave graphic and pathetic descriptions of scenes cominp under her own observation while a worker among the Armenian people. The Near East organization is now the only society doing rescue and relief work in that distressed country. It has at present 110,000 orphans Tinder its care, and if funds were available could rescue from starvation many thousands more. For clothing, some of these children have only one garment made of the coarse sacking used in the trans portation of supplies from this coun try. Most of the fathers of these chil dren have been killed, whije their moth ers have perished from the hards-hip of the deportation or have been carried off by Turks and Kurds. Mrs. Emrich gave many heart-rending instances of appalling cruelties suf fered by these unfortunate people who, in spite of all, cling to their faith in God and the future. Forsaken by the nations with whvm and for whom they fought in the great war and who should protect them, they are to-day surrounded by enemies and their only hope is in the help of the American peopfe. Ten dollaxs will feed and clothe one of these orphans for a year.

In the Near Fast relief move throughout the country, it is brought j out that $t0 will actually save a child's lif for a year, and it is only because of I the generous help given by America') during the past three years that more j than 800,000 wMuen and children are living in Armenia to-day.

No aid would be asked for this work among the Armenians if it were not ho desperately necessary. Miss (ilee Hast ings, a member of the Wellesley college unit of the Near . Fast relief, in a re cent report to the ;;cneral secretary of the organization, sftvs that most of the Armenian refugees" who are pouring into Constantinople from Asia Minor are country people and have almost nothing except the- clothes they hfive on their back, being stupefied and dazed by their misfortune. One group of more than 500 were located in an old church, where the wind blew throiiL'li the windows and the stone doors were icy and damp. The women ( make an elfort to keep clean, out mere is no soap and one pan or kettle of water must do for eight or 10 fam ilies, all drawn from one small well in a little tin bucket. There is great need of warm clothing and an absolute ne cessity for blankets. One family of five has been sleeping at night on the bare stone floor, under one thin, ragged, cot ton blanket. The Near Fast relief is furnishing medical attention and sup plies and what food and clothing its funds will allow to help these people. The British authorities have allotted land in the neighborhood of the oil re gion of Mossiil and suggested that the American Near Fast relief take charge, of the transportation of one 4lock of these refugees, aggregating l.",000, in cluding their maintenance nd provid ing ca,ttle and agricultural implements i i i in nwfTTf . , .

There are marked points of resemblance between the two men. Franklin, bv the simplicity of his manners, the plainness of bis dres, the honest elooueiiii' of his epech, the eminent sensiblcnes of his views, the clarity of his mind, satirized the gor geounes, the shallowness, the hollow -ness and humbiiL' of the Furopean courts.
