[8 6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919 ---- Condition of A Se iar Refugees Deplorable; Seek Clothing Here to Ship to the Army of Sufferers Starvation and misery among Armenian refugees in the Caucasus region according toc a tele- gram sent to Herbert Hoover in Paris by Howard Hzinz, American food commissioner for the near east. Mr. Heinz has returned from a trip of inspection in the Caucasus, on which he was accompanied by Walter Smith of Philadelphia, a commission- er of the American committee of Ar- menian and Syrian reli2f, who has charge of the greater part of the relief work there. He says in his re- port: "It is difficult to make comparisons as to the degree of destitution and distress ifferznt jstricts or towns, Hut I think the wyrst situa- tion that camesto my 1owledge was in Igdir, where there ista larger proportiomyof sickness and 3 higher death rate thap in' either Erivan or Alexandropol. The peopl: are clad in vermin-infested rags, with no pOs- sible change or chance of improve- ment, because there is no clothing of any kind or textile material avail- able at any price, even if the people had the money with which to buy it. "Typhus has been the winter and has taken away thou- sands, but with the moderation of the weather it is but cholera is making its appearanca and the outlook is threatening. Every condition is favorable to its spread." The reports from other parts of Turkey by commissioners of the re- lief committee are 2qually disturbing. A later report says: "The situation as to unemployment is very grave. It may almost be said that there are no industries. There never were factories on a large scale except upon foreign capital. These prevail epidemic during] now decreasing; | will not resume work until security is guaranteed. In areas of the depor- tation, looms and all implements of domestic industries werz wantonly destroyed. The same was true of agricultural implements. The beasts of burden were taken. The seed grain has been largely eaten. Deportees are still huddled in camps or wander- ing along the:roads endeavoring to reach their home. Returning, find their farms occupied by strang- ers who do not cultivate them." These miserable deportees of Turkey. Turkey's been them have keep It would interest to rial life of the country. Instead, religion, a blind impulse to destroy that which represented a foreign ele- ment in a land that had no unity but that made by force and bloodshed. These people of refinement now in rags their countrymen in Ameria seek to help. The Armenian-Syrian relief com- ittee has sent ovsr four great ships f provisions and thousands of pairs of shoes but this is but a drop in the | bucket when a million are destitute. m 1 O The committee hoped for at least ten | carloads of used clothing collected | by the Red Cross recently, and this! amount the Rad Cross, which has al- | ways worked in great harmony with | the near east committee hoped to | give, but only five carloads--250,000 | pounds--were finally turned over to the orient. Freight charges are enormous, but the New York committee promises | to forward everything worth while. The Armenians of Chicago and sub- urbs have undertaken to clean and | mend all that is sent abroad. R. W. CAMPBELL ELECTED HEAD OF EVANSTON Y At a meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Evanston Y. M. C. A. held at noon, Monday, June 2, at the Mid- day club in Chicago, Robert W. Campbell was elacted president and Edwin S. Mifls vice president. The report of the nominating committee was presented by Augustus Knight and adopted unanimously. The meeting was called for the pur- pose of electing a successor to Ed- win S. Mills, thrice president of the B. Davies, LaGrange, Ill. Stephens Special, seven passenger; Herbert P.

The election of Mr. Campbell will Prove exceptionally gratifying to the association members, for he is not only a man who starts things, but like Mr. Mills, sees that they are carried through to completion. The new president of the associa- tion is a lawyer, a member of the firm of Knapp & Campbell. He is a member of many clubs, a trustee of Northwestern university and presi- dent of the Men's union of the First Methodist church. of Many north shore boys and .men are members of the Evanston Y-.M. C. A. owing to the fact there are no Y. M. C. A. centers in any of the Villages and towns between Evans- ton and Waukegan. : i 5 ad done in nr a-- A WHAT THE FRANKLIN : CAR DOES NOT NEED ., Phe-kind of 'service an owner gefs from -his motor car is visualized by the contents of his .garage. + Anti- ~ fteeze mixtures, scale removers, leak xers, apparatus of one kind to an- other advertise the anxieties that are always with the driver of a watzar- | cooled car--impediments to the full enjoyment of care-free motoring.

SUFFRAGISTS WILL POSTPONE JUBILEE At a meeting of the board of the vanston Political Equality league which was hald last week at the home of the president of the organ- ization, Mrs. R. D. Cunningham, it was decided that the local league would celebrate the victory of suffrage in the United States senate when the state holds its celebration. This was to have taken place last week, but owing to th'eiconvention of the Illinois Federation of Wom- an's clubs at Peoria, whith is now in session, and at which many promin- ent suffiragists are in attendance, it has been decided to postpons the celebration until after the state of Illinois ratifies the Anthony amend- ment. on GLENVIEW CLUB MAKES "PLANS FOR JULY FOURTH Plans are already being made for the Fourth of July celebration at the Glen View Golf club, and in the big parade which, is being arranged, all. who have heen in any branch of na- tional service will take part.
