Foteign papers are teeming with ac-
counts of a threatened famine in Northern
India, which, it is feared, may revive the
terrible scenes ia Odessa, where two mil
lions of people lost their lives-dying the |
most terrible of all deaths-by starvation. |

any hot weather in May and June, and the |
rains, which began month before the
usual time, have done immense damage.
The rice crops. including those which bavt
been sown a second time, are ruined. Or;s-

In lower Bengal the crops have suffered
from too much RAIN, while up in Behai

rain ins one district is usually attended by
a drought in another. This indicates th,
