Davis Island which consists of about
5000 acres of land. The place is sit

Throughout the upper delta the flood
situation shows little change since last

lief has been actively inaugurated.
Many poor people are being fed and
housed at Greenvile, Rosedale Helena,
Friar's Point and other points along
the river. A relief steamer Is now ply

and forage for man and beasts.
At Helena the river has fallen two-
tenths of foot in "a hours. The
weather observer at that point says
that a steady fall will be noted in the
river, despite the rise at Cairo and
upper river points. The Williamson
crevasse has widened considerably, but
the velocity of the water has been
checked and no further breaks are
feared.

advices brought by the Gaelic, natives
in the vicinity of IchanG. China are dy-
ing by hundreds of starvation. The
grain crop last year was almost total
failure, and as the people exchanged
their maze for rice to last them through
the winter food has been scant for a
long time. Supplies are now completely
exhausted, and the harvest of death has
begun. Even in the sections that relief
supplies reach the amount given to
each family is so small that it serves
barely to sustain life, and does not re-
lieve the pangs of hunger.
