It's a strong appeal, but what a truo one! Theso good, quiet, home loving peo ple have been torn from theli homes, most of them put to death or worse, and thoso who have been spared are left to wander In a desolate countrj. Tho folder says: "All relief money Is sent by cable, to avoid loss at sea, direct to the American Consuls, to supply us far ns possible food, clothing, seed for future crops, cattle, Implements and material with which to work" Industrial enter prises are being established whero possi ble among these destitute people, and the Armenians nnd Sjrlans are anxious for work. A letter recently received from an Armenian who was a survivor of Erlvan sas: "We decided that a kind of Indus try that would give the most handwork with the least capital Involved would be tho making of socks from wool We buy crude wool, this Is taken to tho river to bo washed The washing is dono by men who stand barefooted In the water all day and pound the wet wool with clubs made for tho purpose. It Is hard, dls agreeable work, for which sixty cents a day Is paid, and wo have a hundred ap plicants for every position open Then the wool Is dried In tho open air, .which takes one or two das In good weather." Ho continues, telling how the wool Is taken to tho carding factory, whero the women work at It, and after much prep aratlon It Is finally handed over to the spinners. There are nearly 1000 women who splntho wool and then knit it Into socks. They make about sixty-five cents a week. In this Armenian Committee every dol lar goes -for the relief, the expenses of collection nnd disbursement being met privately, so ou may know what good the women of this committee are doing.

This Alsne department city of 10,000 or 12 000 souls on the Olse, twenty miles or so southwest of St Quentln. was racked and torn time after tlmo In that bloody century nnd a few enrs from 1337 to 1453, when the Trench and Eng Ish seemed unable to make any lasting accommodation of their illffeiences Its men went off to the war and then the war came to Chauny Some times the men never i.amo back and some times the enme hack crippled The houses and churcheH and little stores were wrecked and mined And after each horror the people bravelj struggled to their feet and built new houses and new churches and new stores And when they had them built the men would go to war again and the war would coino to Chauny again Chnuny lived through It all Chauny could not be killed then and the Oermans could not kill it now. It seems Only that Is not a certainty The Germans havo not killed It yet though It Is weak and broken There Is a possibility that It will live some way, even lf unaided. It Is certan to live If the big, strong city that It needs comes along nnd gives It strength and courage. The stories the old men and women told were of the wrecking and rebuilding of the town again nnd again Those were the stories told the children in the daytime when the men were nway at work In the glass plants and the sugar factories and the chemical laboratories, for which the town la famous There are no men away at work now and the old men and women are pot telling the old stories. They do not do that In times like these, when Chauny'a houses areTmly wieckago and the people have to pile boards over their heads to-raake some sort of shelter But If Chauny is adopted and Its homes rebuilt and Its little stores and churches there will be old men and women again to talk to the children about the Hundred Yeara' War and tho Franco-Prussian War and the World War and the city that took Chauny and adapted It and healed It and made It whole and kept the life in Us soul after the German Invader h4 been beats back, , ' i FRIENDS BEGIN TRAWW0 FOR RECLAMATION W(M.
