New YORK, Aug. Z. Or. Louis
Klopsch, who recently returned from
tour Of inspection of the vast famine
area of India, says that now that rain
is falling there the distress is even
worse than before. Unless blankets

in wholesale quantities are supplied at

from starvation win die for want Of

more than 100000 for the aid of the
famine sufferers. besides the cargo Of

Martinsburg Holds Record.

The last of the many records to be
broken by the city of Martin, burg is the
weather record. The monthly report just
sent out by the U. 5. Weather Bureau
office at Parkersburg gives Martinsburg
the credit Gf there is any credit in it, of
breaking that record. The report is for
the m onth of July and gives the tempera-
ture in this city on the eighteenth as reg

they want is bread, bread, bread, for
themselves and their loved ones, and
the city is their last hope. If that fails
them, they must perish, and if die they
must they may as well die there as
elsewhere.
Eat Ahmadabad we went into the
poorhouse, where over thousand peo-
pie in various stages of nudity and
emaciation were seated on the ground
waiting to be served. 1t was time for
the evening meal. We left them for
the time being, and, taking a turn side
wise. we entered the hospital section,
which was the worst, with one or two
exceptions, that had occasion to visit.
We first went through the cholera
wards, and there ia every ward we
found dead bodies on the cots or on the
ground. Every fifth or sixth cot had a
corpse in it. | asked why they were
not removed, and an attendant replied
that the victim had died after II O'Clock
noon, in which case there was no re-
moval until the time for burning,
which is in the evening
THE most distressing phase of all
this indescribable misery was the little
children, who seem to be in constant
agony, internal and external They
did not cry aloud. because they lacked
the vital inner force for such effort
Though their faces We're constantly cry
ing, no sound was heard, and as we
looked at these innocent, helpless little
things-so emaeiated hollow tempted,
sunken eyed the nape of the neck so
sharply indented under the skull that
the head looked abnormally large and
i'll supported--the burden of sympa-
thetic grief became almost unbearable.
Sometimes tears rolled down their
cheeks. and the mother sitting next TO
this child would wipe the tears away
with part of her dirty. filthy gar
ment, and something like sigh would
escape to indicate the depth of sorrow
that was laying hold upon her heart.
'Since the beginning of the famine
in India tragedies have been enacted in
South Africa and China, and still In
dia remains, unhappily, the scene Of
the greatest tragedy of all the century.
Since the LIST of last January the
deaths by starvation in India in any
one month outnumber all the British
losses in the Boer war to date. The
number of famine victims who have
died since the first of the year exceeds
the total OF 100000, at which figure
our losses in the civil war is computed.
