They are the children of Armenia, Syria and other counties of the Near East, the lands where Christianity was cradled, and their des titution is an after-effect of the war. Cessation of actual hostilities has meant little there, as yet and Hunger Knows No Armistice Unless succor is brought to them, and brought quickly, a quarter of a million of help less, innocent babies will shrivel and die for the lack of life's necessities. Without our help they have to face no alternative save death by pitiful starvation. Will You Adopt One of these Babies of the Near East?
