ON VERGE OF STARVATION.
Relief is Still Badly Needed by starv-

Tokio.-The misery and suffering in

relieved by the prompt and liberal aid
from foreign sources and the abate-
.ment of the rigors of winter The
local authorities are trying to pro-
vide work for the able-bodied. but the
extent of the work is inadequate and
thousands are still on the verge of
starvation.
Many parents are parting with their
children, sending them to the already
crowded Okayama orphauage.
The government has RENTED the
lowest tax in the famine district. but
this will not AFFORD immediate relief
The liberal contributions from Amer.
lean sympathizers are already effec-
tive. and the relief in the form of food
and clothing is commanding the
heartiest appreciation.
Another appeal for aid is presented
by the sufferers from the recent earth
quake In South Formosa. thousands of
whom are homeless.
