The- message was; from Bayard Dodge, son of Cleveland H. Dodge; treasurer of the relief' work. Mr. Dodge is in the stricken j area and his plea for help to prevent j the.

"Emergency work is impera live."

V The condition of the Armenians is ... r I causing great alarm among support- J ers of the little country in South j Carolina and authorities of the South Carolina office here issued an urgent appeal yesterday for more help in, the great work. Reports from the Near East bring stories of woe and J f disaster from all sections. Concern-1 ing the reed for funds and material| the following statement was issued by national headquarters and tele-! graphed to the Columbia office, Miss' * Mary B. Meetze, secretary: Wnoiesale fcmcrgency. "This unforeseen wholesale emergency, amounting to national tragedy, greatly increases amount of des-j titution, placing heavy burden upon! our committee, calling for great increase in our 1 *;uget unless we are willing to see*ter.s of thousands cf , our former allies die in exile for lack| of food and clothing, which we can send if funds are provided. Nationalists promise safely to orphans, property and refugees under protection of American relief workers, andj the fact that such promises were faithfully kept throughout four years, of war gives confidence that distinct-; ly humanitarian life Laving relief j work will continue. Moreover, hun-| dreds of thousands of the orphans ( # and destitute are in areas entirely, outside of control of Nationalist I forces, redoubling efforts to secure adequate funds imperative if disastrous loss of life is to be avoided." J Due to the numerous agencies now ! or soon to be asking: the people o: j the state to contribute to a numbei of causes, and among these being th< i relief of Central Europe, the Neai East official yesterday asked that the Armenian relief work not be con ; fused with any other society^ or or ganization soliciting aid for Euro tnqov* ncoc TVip NTpar East relief committee is the only organizatior soliciting funds and material for the rescue of the starving: Armenians and officials of the committee ar( anxious that the people remembei j this in contributing for the work.

HAD INFLUENZA ONCE PATIENT IS IMMUNE | Paris, Nov. 17.?Proof that any one once having had influenza is immune from future attacks has been provided the Academy of Medicine by Prof. C. Deptor, head specialist at Val-De-Grace hospital. 1 * The discovery was made by inoculating a volunteer patient with microbes of la grippe during the epidemic of 1918-19. A severe case was the result. A few weeks later the patient was again inoculated in the same , way, but this time his system successfully withstood the test tmd he was-not HI. Since then the experiment has been made in a number of cases, always with the same results. Dr. Deptor believed that after an attack of influenza the system is so inoculated with millions of dead germs as to prevent the introduction of live ones. Other Paris doctors indorse the statement that influenza of the type prevailing during and immediately following the great war is a disease one can not have twice.

Although absolutely incomparable with the.vast profits reaped Kv thp manufacturers. the farmer has enjoyed some comparative prosperity during the war?experienced a condition a little better than he struggled through so many years. With him, the decision is now made, and he will never return to the class whose earnings are just sufficient to purchase rude, hard food and indifferent clothes. * The last few years brought new faith to the farmer. Tenant after tenant had left the farms. Sudden ly the world seemed brighter, rrices went up. The farmers asked, "Are they coming back? Perhaps they will!" In fact, the laborers seemed almost ready to return. * The signs of prosperity lasted just a year or two. Today the horizon is darker than ever before. Cotton is, of course, the crop which I knew best. I come from the cotton country, and I am a cotton planter myself. The cotton situation has be come so desperate that a special committee from the farmers who met recently i:r Washington seriously coni'tiered recommendations to plant absolutely not a single bale next year if conditions did not change, to plant only half this year's planting next year if conditions had materially altered, and even if all the world markets were opened, to cut the crop one-third.
