Salena County. We have seen the burned

charred and bloated bodies are daily discov-

less agony wringing their hands and refuse
to be comforted. More than TO- goo people,
who only one week ago occupied happy,
comfortable homes, are to-day homeless
and houseless sufferers. They are hungry
and almost naked when found, and in such
great numbers and so widely scattered that
our best efforts and greatest resources fail
to supply their immediate wants. Without

more will suffer and become exiles. Our
people will do their utmost for their relief,
but all our resources would fail to meet
their necessities, and We appeal to the
charity and generosity OF the American
people. Send help without delay. Signed;
