General Wood's Appeal At Chairman of a Special Committee of representative men and women of the country, charged with placing before be-fore the American people the desperate need of two and a half million Armenians, Arme-nians, the remnant of the oldest Christian Chris-tian nation, whose sufferings through sixteen centuries seem to have brought them no nearer peace, liberty or se-curity, se-curity, I beg your personal co-operation and influence to forward an appeal ap-peal for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to enable the Near East Relief to go on with its work of mercy. Over one hundred thousand tittle children who have been kept alive by American generosity for the past three years are absolutely dependent upon the support which America gives them through the Near East Relief. I fwl that however many and how-ever how-ever worthy the other appeals which are being made to the great heart of America these days may be, this cry from the little children of the land where Christ gave his life for mankind man-kind cannot remain unanswered. Will you help to save this martyrsd people? IZ 4r)Tryf Leonard Wood, lia.lor General, U.S. Army. Use the Chronicle Classified Columns Col-umns It you have anything to sell. |
