Morgenthau Calls on America to
Rescue Dying Nations of
Old World.
Washington:—In an addres-: here
laFt week, Henry Morganthan. for-
mer American Ambassador to Turkey,
said that "nothing On earth except a
miracle from heaven can prevent the
death by freezing and starvation of
from five million to ten million people
in Europe and the Near East t h is
winter." Mane prominent officials
were in the audience that heard Mr.
Morganthau, who recently returned to
this country from an official mission
to Poland.

Pinsk at August," said Mi. Morgan-
than. "It has haunted me ever sim e.
and has served as a complete expres

the world today.
-A few months before my arrival a
particularly atrocious J ish massa-

men and in the 'dint light of an auto-
mobile lamp placed them against the
cathedral and shot them in cold blood.
A somewhat hazy charge had been
made that these men were Bolshevik,
but no trial was given them, and, in
deed, the charge was subseipiewl‘
shown to be untrue.
Terrible Proceedings.
"Returning to the scene of the et-
ecution the next morning, the troops
found that three of their victims were
still breathing; these they dispatched
with bullets, and all the thirty-tive
corpses were then thrown into a pit
in an old Jewish cemetery, without an
opportunity for decent burial or relig-
ious exercises and with nothing to!
mark the graves.
"A proceeding to make one shud-
der, it is true; yet not a particularly
horrible event compared with the
crimes that have been perpetrated in
Central Europe, in the Balkans, and
in Asia Minor in the last five years.
The lives of only thirty-five Jew's

nearly a million Armenians were de-
stroyed under conditions that were
far more hideous.
"You can travel for days in Eastern
Europe and see no faces that are not
wanly emaciated and gaze into eyes
that are not dull and almost expres-
sionless from lack of food.
At this moment the greatest prob-
lem facing the American people is
this; Are we going to stand aside
while Europe flounders in agony into
dissolution or are we to rise to our
opportunity and our duty and rescue
these suffering peoples? Emerson
said that "America represented God's
last attempt to save mankind.' It cer-
tainly looks as though the time when
we were to make good this prophecy
had arrived."
