A famine in China
KIANGSU PROVINCE NOW FAC
ing STARVATION. Z
Ten Million People Reduced to Stern
Want-Food Riots Occur DaiIy-lm-
peraI Government Urged to Aid
Are Dead
Death List Appalling.

Shanghai, Nov. 8.-Advices received
here indicate that famine conditions
of the most desperate nature prevail
in the northern part of the province of
Kiangsu, with but one exception the
most fertile and valuable of the many
provinces of the empire. Ten millions
of the total population of 100000 in
the province are reduced to stern
want. Crops are failure and scenes
of suffering that rival anything in the
empires history are reported from
every point in the region.
Food riots which have been marked
with much bloodshed, are reported
daily and so far the officials have ia
ken no steps to relieve the distress.
In fact, to prevent the rioting spread
ing to the cities, all the governors
have been ordered to keep the people
in their homes at all hazards and
further rioting has resulted from this
step.
All the local diplomatic represen-
tatives have received advices from
foreigners in the famine stricken re-
gion, urging them to use all their in
fluence to have the imperial govern
ment take steps to aid the sufferers.
A Presbyterian missionary who has
just returned from the region declares
that thousands Of people have already
starved to death and that unless imme-
date aid is forthcoming the death list
will be appalling.
