MISERY AND WANT HAVE RUN
RIOT IN JAPANESE TOWN. =.
Pen Picture of the Suffernss of the
People by Murasaki oyami, a
Japanese Correspondent.

Few places in the northeastern
provinces of Japan have suffered more
from the famine than has the town
of Wakuya, about 25 miles north Of
Sendai, If the testimony of Murasaki
Oyami, Japanese correspondent, an
eyewitness of the distress, is consid-
cred. He writes that there "the want
and misery have run riot"
One of the distressing features of
the famine has been the desertion of
children by their parents, hundreds of
such cases having resulted as an ir-
resistible consequence of the lack of
food Among the efforts which have
been put forth to succor these little
waits, none Is more touching than
that of Mrs. Martha, poor but ener-
getic woman who has gathered
group of girls together and Is striv-
ing to make them not only -self-sup'
porting, but capable of rendering aid
to their families. For this purpose
she Is teaching them to make Bat
tenberg lace, which finds ready sale
In Toxic. Then as fast as 1t is pos
sible she sends them on to the famous
Okayama orphan asylum, an institu-
ton that has bravely set to work car
ing for scores of these needy north
ern people.
Mr.. Miura, Japanese philanthro-
pist at work at Wakuya, is busy CIV
ing out the sympathy bags" of rice
to families most in need. In one case
he found family where the father
and grandfather were striving to keep
the dread wolf OF hunger from the
door by bringing wood on their backs
from the mountains five miles away.

equivalent of two pence day.
