September 29th, 1922,
Te the Citizens of Fen'
A tragedy of unequalled horror has taken plaee
in Smyrna. Hundreds of thousands, naked and starving,
are crying te the world for help. The citizens of
Pennsylvania have never failed te respond whenever called
upon in any great emergeney.
The Near East Relief, incorporated by Congress
has been administering aid in that section of the world
for a number of years, and has already exhausted its
supplies that were sent ever the 110,000 orphans in
its care. It must provide shins for the evacuation of
refugees, and temporarily care for these who have been
moved out' of the danger zone, that they de net bring
death and disease te the oeuntries whither they are nfeved.
Immediate funds are needed te purchase feed and
relief supplies wherever they can be bought nearest te tht
place of misfortune, te furnish the medical attention
needed, and hire ships te evacuate the remaining refugees
as seen as possible
I am sure the eitizens of Pennsylvania will
reapend generously by forwarding their contributions te
Drexel & 0e., Treasurers, addressed 00 Near East Relief
N. E. corner Bread and Locust Streets, Philadelphia. The
contribution should be marked "Smyrna Emergency Fund."

Governer of Pennsylvania.
