Miss John stated the authorities directing the Save the Children Fund were now directing their attention to the Armenian refugees in Syria. ■ There, hundreds of littlo children were living in tents under the very worst conditions. Epidemics were frequent and the children were being killed off in hundreds. The French, who had the mandate of the territory, were assisting as much as possible, but additional assistance was required.
