4 ARMENIANS IN NEED OF FUNDS TO KEEP ALIVE Dr. Worrell Gives First Con tribution to Cause at Offices Just Opened b. W. Desant, of New York, who is in Harrisburg assisting Chairman Charles W. Burtnetl in the prelimi naries of the campaign, through which it is hoped to raise $38,000 in Dauphin county for the benefit of suffering Armenians and Syrians, was asked to-day what is being done with the money that is being raised in the United States. Mr. Desant said that besides the boats of supplies and workers which have been sent to the field, reports and stories constantly come home from those who have now been on the field since the beginning, cast ing bright and encouraging light on the effect which their devoted work is having on conditions in the North East, as well as the need for continued and greater effort until not a starving orphan shall be left unbefriended or a man and woman deprived of the means of livelihood through no fault of their own, be left without the means of starting life anew. The following story just received from John Elder, one of the relief workers of the Armenian Committee for Relief of the Near East in Erivan, emphasizes both these points in a particularly interesting way. He says: "The number of orphans has been raised from 130 to 350, and may soon be 450. This increase was im perative. For weeks at a time dur ing the fall 1 passed from two or three to eight or ten grimy, shiver ing. starving youngsters, crying by the roadside, with no earthlv sup port, deserted by parents unable to care for them. There is no doubt that hundreds, probably thousands of them, died during the fall months of sheer starvation. "The industrial work has been in creased in every department. The looms are putting out about 10,000 arshens of material a week, as com pared to some 5,000 before and 100 new looms are practically ready to put to work. Our money here works three times, one in giving work, again in making cloth which we sell at as low a price as possible, but which brings at that a very con siderable sum of money, and again 1n providing cloth for the half naked refugee population of Ar menia. We are at present working on a government contract for 8,000 soldiers' uniforms of black and white, and have about half finished. Our workers are approximately as follows, Erivan 5,500, Aslitarak 6.- 000 and Etchmiadzin 1,400, In all about 7,500. "In direct relief we are doing Ihe following. A soup kitchen in TCova Bayazed gives food to about 900 regularly, and a much larger number occasionally. In Billigon we have been giving milk and food to some 400, but will soon close that work as the refugees are leaving Ihat region. In Erivan money dis tribution reaches 500 or more a month. In medical aid we reach about 3,000 a month through a company doctor. Dr. Mandinian whom many of you may know, and through the hospital and outpatient department. During the cholera epidemic we had a special doctor giving full time to refugees in the 6trsets and gardens." The Itev. Dr. Edwin R. Worrell, of the Board of Temperance of the Presbyterian Church, to-day made the tirst contribution to the local fund. Dr. Worrell appeared un solicited before at the headquarters of the local committee in the Boy Scouts offices and handed in his check to Mr. Heath cote.

Washington, April 4. Recent pri vate and official advices from Mexico City are interpreted as indicating a sudden change in sentiment in the republic toward foreign investments in Mexico and that the coming ses sion of Congress will clear the at mosphere of much of the hostility shown sincA the adoption of the 1917 constitution. The American oil in terests in Mexico have not receded from the stand originally taken that their vested rights in Mexico must be recognized and that the anti-for eign and confiscatory features of the new constitution must not operate ex post facto, against them.
