An earnest appeal 10 the American people
for further contributions to the Indian
famine relief fund printed in today's news
columns, throws certain light of Informal
ton upon the situation. 1t is important first
of all that the unutterable suffering in
India be Gmeiiorated as far human in
Prevention can extend. 1t is not important
in the minds of the truly charitable wheth-
er the directly responsible agencies of re-
lief are being eXerted to their utmost. 1t
should make no difference to a person who
feels impelIed to give to suspect that the
British government is not acting with suf-
ficient zeal. or generosity. or skill. AS long
as men. women and children are starving
by thousands. as long as six millions are
under daily charge to prevent starvation,
as long as uncounted millions more are
menaced by death beyond the reach of the
governments enterprises, there is de-
mand for help from all the world. But
it happens, attested by frequent witness
from India and as echoed by The Stars
present correspondent, who is evidently
fully informed, that the British govern
ment is nObly doing its duty in India and
struggling desperately against the COM
bined famine. pestilence and native super
st;tion. 10 the end that it Is saving thou
this work does not extend throughout the
famine district. much of which IS under the
control of virtually independent native
princes. who are slothful and Indifferent
IN their relief work and whose weak efforts
must be supplemented by voluntary aid
from without. There is desperate need in
India today for large corps of workers to
invade these provinces with funds sufficient
to enable them to carry systematic succor
to the hungry, disease smitten, impover-
ished hOrdes unreached by the means al
ready provided. As the extent of the fam
ine becomes known to the people of Amer
lea there Will doubtless be steady in

gifts from these shores will justify anew
the reputation OF the nation for generosity
and readiness TO aid suffering humanity

reannounces its willingness to receive con-
tributions TO the relief fund and to for
ward them to the authorized American
agencies of distribution.

Apparently nothing has been done by any
body in authority TO cure the evil disclosed
by the recent fatal accident in lexington,
where improved streets cross the b. and o.
railroad tracks at grade without the least
measure of protection. This warning, based
upon a disaster which cost two lives, Is ap
parently to go for naught until the rail-
road company, persuaded by a fear of
damages. or moved by a desire to put the
public in better mood toward that pro-
posed 81, 10000 bonus for track elevation,
takes the initiative and voluntarily provides
safety gates and operators at an insignifi-
cant cost. But this contingency is ex-
tremely remote. 1t is more likely that as
far as the company is concerned the streets
will be left open travel invited and people
killed or MANNED until the railroad COM
pany has secured the legislation 1t desires
for the permanent improvement. unless the
local authorities rise to the situation and
demand through the courts a decent meas
ure of protection for the people at these ex-
posed points. The Commissioners have just
received a complaint that the trains of this
line pass these crossings with no warnings
and often without a closing Of the only
safety gate north of Florida avenue, at R
street. The complainant AYERS that he mar
rowly escaped death few days ago be-
| cause of the comrany's negligence. In con-
sequence a special dispensation is to be
granted to the railroad company to permit
it to violate-in the interests of the public
safety, which 1t could more surely conserve
without such a violation-the excellent reg
ulation prohibiting the sounding of bells
or whistles within the District. Acceptance
of this privilege would create an intolera-
BILE nuisance. A far better solution of the

II the dispatches received today about
the Chinese situation could be accepted I'M
reseryedly there would be occasion for the
grav.est fears for the lives of Americans in
Pekin and other points affected by the BOX
er revolt. But there is fortunately reason
to hold in some question the latest state
ment from Hong Kong that the legations
az Pekin have been destroyed and Baron
Won Kettler. the German amba killed.
Hong Kong has no means of learning
quickly of such an event that is not en-
joyed by European cities, for there Is no
direct connection from the Chinese capital
to the Hong Kong. and it is to be question:
ed whether such important news could
reach il save by wire in season TO be an
nounced from there first. Shanghai would
be more likely to learn it earlier, being
nearer the seat of the trouble. But even
Shanghai news is now to be carefully eX-
amined before acceptance. The Pekin wires
have been cut for some days save, as FAR
as known. that owned by Russia which
traverses Siberia. If that wire is intact it
would aSsuredly be open, although jealous
" guarded heretofore, to an announcement
of such vital concern to every capital in
the civilized world. But Of course even the
Russian wire may now be cut. This would
leave Pekin utterly isolated. and the first
definite news of a disaster there would
come probably through Tien Tsin from per-
sons escaping overland from Pekin.
The most reliable reports thus far re-
ceived indicate that even if this Hong Kong
dispatch is not true the Pekin situation is
decidedly threatening. One late account
states that the legations were at last re-
ports surrounded by frenzied mobs. eager
for the death of every foreigner. Mean
while the Whereabouts of the relief column
cannot he understood. 1t is to be feared
that hut little advance has been made from
Tien Tsin. leaving a long stretch of coun-
try to be traversed with the railway pre-
sumably destroyed. Shanghai dispatch
even states that large part of Tien Tsin
is burning.
1t is to be feared that the methods
adopted and the forces employed by the
powers thus far are insufficient to meet the
demands of the situation.
There is urgent need of haste in placing
an international army of from LOCO to
ou.ooO men in China. with responsible
leader clothed with authority from the
powers to take all steps required to restore
peace and 70 protect the lives of foreigners.
Such movement need not necessarily lead
to the ultimate ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China
nor need it involve the United States
which should be represented in accordance
with its present Asiatic interests-in any
embarrassing responsibilities in China or
elsewhere. Ii is to be presumed that this
government has already taken the neces-
sary preliminary steps to enable it, when
the time arrives, TO contribute proportion

The Situation in China.

In a cable printed today from Berlin the
| Vossische Zeitung is quoted as follows re-
| speeding the situation in China:
THE hope of harmonious procedure Is
| fast vanishing. as the separate ambitions
appear on the surface. Probably 1t Will
need a few severe reverses before the pow
ers are cemented for the purpose of JOINT
action
According to American advices "the hope
of harmonious procedure seems still to be
justified. We have not accepted as true all
the stories that have issued from China on
the subject of violent contention among
the powers. But to the extent that effec-
tive action needs still little promoting. it
is probably true as suggested by this Ger
man newspaper. that reverse or two
would be likely to accomplish that result.
The powers are nearly all represented in
that relief column now on its march to
Pekin. 1t is of little consequence that the
English outnumber the Americans, or the
Russians the Germans 1t is of no more
consequence that an Englishman commands
the whole force. The object sought Is to
protect the lives of all the foreigners under
menace in Pekin; and once this force enters
that city the whole force will be effective
for those men and women, regardless of
nationality. English, Russians. Germans,
Frenchmen, Japanese and Americans, now
in danger there, will then breathe easier.
If fighting becomes necessary. either
against the Boxers against regular Chi
nese troops, whatever blood of this relief
column Is shed will be shed for all those
for whom the succor Is intended.
This illustrates the general situation and
responsibility in China so far as the outside
world IS concerned. If the Boxers are too
strong for the Chinese government, it is the
duty of the powers to help put the Boxers
down. For the purpose of the Boxers is to
drive out all foreigners and shut the doors
of the country against them. If the Chinese
government Is in secret sympathy with the
Boxers. it is equally the duty of the powers
to assert themselves in defense of their
treaty rights and of the open door. AS they
are in agreement among themselves that
the door of trade and opportunity shall not
be shut by any action of their own. they are
equally bound in interest to see that China
herself does not shut it.
The first and the present overshadowing
consideration is the protection of the lives
and the property of foreigners in China.
They are there by the authority Of the
Chinese government and as the govern
ment is unable to protect them their appeal
lies naturally to their home governments.
less to assume that any Of the responding
governments IS meditating more than the
performance of the duty of the hour.
