THEY SHALL NOT PERISH. President Wilson has asked all Americans to rally generously to the support of the Committee for Relief in the Near East, whose campaign comes January 12-19. The need is urgent. Four million refugee wo men and children, the victims of Turkish lust and brutality, are starving and dying. Thre is only one possible source of help America. The other nations of the world can scarce bind up their own wounds. Upon what we do-you and I-depend the lives of these millions of helpless women and children They must not perish-they SHALL not perish. The Government has asked the Committee for Relief in the Near East to undertake the rescue work among these victims of Turkish oppression. During the past the year the Committe has cared for over 900,000 refugees who otherwise would have perished. There are now 4,000,000 dependent upon the Committee for relief. Of this n.mber 00,0 are children, many of them little more than ba bies, whose parents have died of privation r ,been muredered by the Turk. To carry on this work a minimum of S30,000, 000 is needed immediately. * Do YOUR part today.

But as a visible recognition of that debt, they will wish to erect in every community some fit ting memorial. No mere shaft of marble or granite can ever symbolize the Democracy for which this world war has been fought. The war has speeded human progress in many ways. Let it establish yet another precedent. Let our memorials of this conflict be structures which will help the living while commemorating the dead. As suggested before, let us begin in every community the making of plans for neigh borhood houses, to be known as Liberty build il. n honor of our fellow townsmen who shall :- rved uron the land or sea or in the air in this w-r against tyranny. Smo day all strife will end, because of this victory to which men from our own community -ae contributed. When that day comes let us all be.ready in ever municipality, with our money I.Cr'gc(.or per3-s already raid in Liberty Bonrls with our'buildi-Ag plans completed; with an opt ion on the suit, if not already donated by the public - spirited owner; and with an organiza tion ah-eadY formed to administer the new co a nvity home when built. Let us plan our Liberty Buildings on no nig i scale. The war has shown 'hat the Ame rican people will give lavishly for a great cause. Let us determine the needs of our cormunity an' plan accordinly, including such facilities for r re2tion. cultur e, fellowship and public s2rvice as I a iractical idealism may suggest. If we live in a large city, several buildings may be needed; if a unc , will suffice.

And finally, in planning, financing and adminis tration, let us make c;ery possible use c5'istin., commercial and civic bodies, and.pf the na iy war service organizations which-have been the medium of patriotic effort in these days of strife. For if, with the war at ari end, we of America can turn our constructive works of peace our new spirit and energy of public service, we shall have achieved Liberty and- Democracy indeed.

A LETTER FROM D. 0. SMITH. On the banks of Marne In France t Dec. 17, 1918. t To the Editor of the News and Herald, Winnsboro, S. C. t Dear Mr. Seawell: Kindly publish the following in your paper, as I was an employee of yours for several years, for I think this to be the best method for my friends to hear from me while on this side of the pond. I We left the States the 11th cf July; arrived in Liverpool July 31st, and spent several days in a rest camp and then left for France, where we received our final training before leav ing for the front. But was held up by the signing of the armistice. While' we were happy that it was all over, yet it was still some disappointment in not getting at least one crack at the Huns. There is still a chance for us to see some big towns in Germany, as we expect to leave this town of Bologne, for Luxemburg in a few days. From last reports the Duke up there seems to be a good scout as he has a great chance to make good with us for we will give him the S. 0. S., as we are the A. E. F., which signifies "Al ways Expecting France." I don't know how lone we will be over here. but hope to celebrate Easter in the States with all the boys. Am sorry that I must close as it is time the b,zle sounds taps, And all hands must pike down, for the candles are about to be drizzled out. With best regards to all, I remain, Yours truly, Private D. 0. Smith, Battery D., 312th F.
