IL 100000 and which were formerly most
prosperous, the Daily Chronicles cor
respondent at Bilaspur writes:
1.-THE demand for overnment assist
ance Is unparalleled. In one district 40
per cent are dependent on the sirkar
for their daily bread, in two others the
percentage is over thirty. In the whole
area there are 100000 people with no
other sources Of subsistence than gov
eminent charity.
''In the eastern division, where the
crop failure was the most complete, we
have had the best Of opportunity OF

for graphing with the famine. the
nbomination Of desolation is here. Not

last ruins failed and the rude peasan-,
try saw the young rice shoots blasted
by the fierce August sun, they were lett
without resources and the few silver
ornaments which every indian family
possesses went at last. Then they
crowded the relief works by hundreds
