Captain Paxton Hibben Tells Touching Story of Homeless, Starving People Succored by Near East Relief. "Emaciated little girls with pinched and unreal faces, their clothing a mere piece of torn sacking held together with thorns for pins, paraded listlessly along the side of the train with uplifted, scrawny arms and cupped hands, whining a scarcely audible prayer for food. Their great dark eyes looked out from under tumbled hair, uncombed for months, perhaps years, seeing neither the train nor us. God knows what they saw, those fathomless eyes of a girlhood that had never been—God knows what they in the west care of wandering from place to place, unprotected, unloved, uncared for." Thus Captain Paxton Hibben describes the journey of the United States Army officers who accompanied Major General James L. Harperdale Amphitheatre in an article "Savvying a People." In Holland's Magazine, Dallas, Texas, Captain Hibben is a well-known writer and war correspondent, author of Constantine L. and the Creek Boys who was with the Historical Section, General Staff, A.E.F., during the war. People Lack Everything "These desperate destitute people who have no land to cultivate, no food to eat and no clothes to wear, and have been in that condition for five years, now," he calls the more than half a million Armenian refugees wandering from place to place seeking food and shelter that does not exist. "Under the old Tsarist system, the peasants plowed with a charred stick plow, drawn by three to six soan of oxen." Now the oxen are dead—they were killed for food long ago. There are honest-to-goodness plows, no cultivators, no reapers, no binders. Nothing is left in this country of misfortune. Captain Hibben declares: "Not a pair of shoes; not gloves; but the footsam and the jetsam of war and destruction." Captain Hibben describes the arrival of the American Near East Relief workers at Erlvan, the capital of the unhappy Armenian Republic, cramped railway station crowded with hundreds of homeless refugees. Hundreds of Homeless "All about, on the ground, close to the walls for shelter from winds, under freight cars, in the meager covering of dusty hedges, in the open—everywhere—little groups lay on the dry, earth, hundreds and old, they had pointed them on." This is why that cannot still live lying on the dried during the good many of cart makes streets and the piled here—the dead But it is not Nothing like." Armenians "You have to Captain Hibben was an organ Armenians a thousand years single organiza Records You will find the first records made by Arturo Toscanini, one of the greatest of Orchestra conductors living or dead, and the orchestra he has brought with him from La Scala Theatre, Milan, most famous of Old World opera houses. —He will record for the Victrola exclusively. —When an artist of Toscanini fame selects the Victrola exclusively isn’t this proof of its superiority over all other machines? —We are exclusive Victrola dealers for Anaheim. —Prices from $25.00 up to $275.00. —Easy Payments— WEBER'S Book and Music STORE Anaheim Cal Clair Case and His Majestic Orchestra Every Sunday Evening at Seal Beach Pavilion Dancing 7 to 11:30 BRADLEY'S Seal Beach Pavilion Dancing 7 to 11:30 BRADLEY'S HIGH GRADE LIQUID PAINT The paint that protects the home BRADLEY'S HIGH-GRADE LIQUID PAINT Save the surface and you save all costs paid.

LOS ANGELES THE OF CRUELTY AND DESPAIR" AMERICAN OFFICER CALLS ARMENIA Top—"They lived where they lay at night, without shelter or privacy." Bottom—"110,000 children are being fed by the Americans." Insert—Captain Paxton Hibben Old, they had sunk into hollows. I pointed them out to my companion. This is where they bury those that cannot stick it out, those who are placed up every morning, lying on the ground where they died during the night. There are a good many of them every day. A cart makes the rounds of the streets and the parks even morning, and picks them up and brings them here—the dead, who could not wait. But it is not so bad as it was. Nothing like." Armenians Oldest Christians "You have to remember always," Captain Hibben says, "that Armenia was an organized nation and the Armenians a conscious people a thousand years before there was a single organized nation in Europe, wholly dependent upon the generosity of the people of the United States. Near East Relief Work "There are thirty-three Near East Relief Orphanages, large and small, in Erivan—and about 7,000 kiddies that the Americans are looking after. Through the Near East Relief, over fifty millions of dollars have gone to help the Armenians in the past three years. Over five hundred American women and men are working in the Negev East, unobtrusively but effectively, to a strange and alien people from starvation and destruction. One hundred ten thousand little children are being fed by the Americans; sixty-three hospitals are kept be we produce more than we consume. The new papers can be of tremendous help in educating us all to the importance of foreign trade. I hope the National Foreign Trade Council at its convention in Cleveland this May will consider seriously the matter of encouraging the press in the work it can do to help." Citizens of Mamaronock, one of New York's most exclusive commuting suburbs, are considerably disturbed over the announcement that the making of "Faust" into a moving picture will be done in their community. "We aren't too stuck up to have our streets commercialized;" they repeat. "It isn't that, at all. Not at all. But when they say in the newspaper that "Mamaronock has been chosen for the haunt of Mephistapheles"—well, we all know where he lived and wo don't care for it. No, not at all." The success of "Spanish Love" is evidently inspiring the production of more plays of that same romantic country, which has, as a matter of fact, been rather neglected on our stage in the past. Augustin Duncan has acquired the rights to "The Cradle Song," a Spanish play by Gregorio Martínez Sierra, which has been translated and adopted for the English-speaking stage for the first time. Mr. Duncan will not one of the principal roles when it opens shortly at the Times Square theatre. In spite of the approach of spring and the cheering news that business is on the upgrade, another infant prodigy has been discovered and added to the ever growing number of inordinately bright young minds at Columbia university. Robert McKnight is five years old and his Binet test ratings show him to be one child in 10,000. At least, so they say, although it seems as though we had experienced at least three children out of every ten of the same sort these last few months. There is one happy note in the story of Robert, though. In spite of what they say about him, what he says about himself is that the height of his ambition is to be an acrobat in a circus. So life-like are the masks that W. T. Benda, the artist, has made for Margaret Severn to wear in her dances, that the audience doesn't realize until she takes one off that she has been wearing anything but her own nature-given face. Theatrical producers—some of them—believe there are great possibilities in these recreations of Mr. Benda; not for actors, of course, because even the talented illustrator has not been able to make the features mobile, but for dancers, and ensembler... Armenians Oldest Christians "You have to remember always," Captain Hibben says, "that Armenia was an organized nation and the Armenians a conscious people a thousand years before there was a single organized nation in Europe, save Greece and Rome. For twelve hundred of their twenty-five hundred years of existence as a people they were independent and governing. They were a Christian people in the year 32 A.D. The Armenian kingdom was the first state in the world to adopt Christianity at the end of the 30s. They invented their own alphabet—such as it is at the same time. They have a literature older than the English or the French, the German, the Spanish, and ages older than the Shavonite literature. They have an art and an architecture and a music of their own. They were bankers and traders and artisans when the inhabitants of the Hittite Empire were painted blue, and the people of France and Germany went about clothed in skina." But now all is changed, the American officer writes. With all the victims of an incredible history of persecution by the Turks and betrayed by the other Christian nations of the world, are members of a party which enjoyed a trip to Mt. Lowe last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Fergus and Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Fergus are making plans to leave tomorrow for Santa Barbara, where they will spend the weekend visiting with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Westerhold, of east of Annelheim, report the birth of a baby daughter March 3. Besides the four children of their own Mr. and Mrs. Westerhold have two adopted children. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Greeson, who had been house guests for about ten days in the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Dierker, Palm and North-sta, returned early in the week to their home in Calexico. Mr. and Mrs. George D. Ehrle, of Placentia-ave, are the parents of a baby daughter born on March 3. The little lady has been named Virginia Elizabeth. She has one little brother, Master George Jr. Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Epperly are making plans to spend Sunday at Monrovia, where they will be guests of Mr. Epperly's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Epperly, Sr., has been ill for some time at her home. News has come of the death of Michael Krueger, veteran of the civil war, at the Sawtele soldiers' home, Feb. 21. He was well known here, being a member of Salem Evangelical church. Many will remember him as janitor of the public library. Many were saddened here today by news of the death of Miss Esther Fern Kopf, following an operation at Holton, Kansas. She was a former resident of Anaheim and a niece of Mrs. J. Hochuli, whom she made an ex-member of a party which enjoyed a trip to Mt. Lowe last Saturday. There are thirty-three Near East Relief Orphanages, large and small, in Erlvan—and about 7,000 kiddies that the Americans are looking after. Through the Near East Relief, over fifty millions of dollars have gone to help the Armenians in the past three years. Over five hundred American women and men are working in the Near East, unobtrusively but effectively, to keep a strange and alien people from starvation and destruction. One child who was fed by the Americans; sixty-three hospitals are kept running, with 6,552 beds, always full. And when an appeal is made to the great heart of this work—the money is always there. "For the idealism that was roused in those in every land whose people went forth to fight for what they loved to be left and there still the formalists are sullen forgot it; they dealt not in human realities, but in the artificial impalpable theories of boundaries, governments, spheres of influence, agreements and zones of exploitation. "But an American girl sitting on the mud sidewalk of Erlvan with a dead woman's head in her lap discovered in a moment what those old men had never known—that the world is a human place, and its people are all kin." Captain Hibben appeals for the continuation of the work being done by the Near East Relief through subscription to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer of that organization. 1 Madison Avenue, New York. New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NE WYORK, Mar. 3—In a laboratory in the College of the City of New York is the master envoy-dropper of the world. Prof. Alfred N.

"It is time for us to stop using printer's ink defining boundaries abroad," said Julius H. Reiter, president of the Credit Guide Bankers' Commercial association and publisher of the Credit Guide, at a dinner of the association held the other night in Pennsylvania hotel. "The markets all over the world for American goods," he said, "and there are factories and workers all throughout this himself is that the height of his ambition is to be an aerobat in a circus." So life-like are the masks that W. T.
