Sad Story Concerning
the Armenians
"Despatches from Constantinople
received recently by the American.
Committees for Armenian and Syrian
Relief reported that the problem pre-
sented by the release of thousands of
Christian women and children from
Turkish harems in Asia Minor is con-
stantly growing, Many have been
given shelter bythe relief workers,
but there remain a large number
wandering about the country utterly
destitute, some of thein crazed by
henget' and exposure.
According to the despatches. no
doubt exists that release of the women
and children was part of a
general
movement, which is described
as
"startling in its sweep across the
coon try,"
Telegrams have been received in
Coustantinopls from Gegorian Bish-
ops, pastors, and leading business men
in various parts of Asia Minor, ap-
pealing for help for these women and
children, The Turks, the message
said, were casting adrift Armenian
girls they hod taken into their homes
and orphanages for the purposes of
bringing them up as Moslems, believ-
ing that thus eetting theta free they
themselves might be able to escape
punishtneet.
One of the despatches said ;
"Under normal conditions this
would be glad news indeed, but with
members of their'£amilies killed or de-.
ported in most instances, and the re-
training people reduced to the sever,
est poverty, It will be impossible for
the Armenians themselves to find
shelter, clothing and food for hun-
deeds of thousands of children and
tens of thousands of women thus
thrust upon them suddenly.
The relief workers, the despatch ads
dad, has hastened the departure of a
special train of supplies and had "sob
aside special appropriation to meet
the immediate emergency." '
Rev, Mr. Pierce will deal with the
Armenian question next Sunday even,
