Appeal to the Public in Behalf Of the Stricken
People in the Northeast Of Japan.

Editor Advertiser: Americans gen.
orally do not realize the terrible fam
inc conditions which induced President
Roosevelt to urge subscriptions for the
relief of sufferers in the northeast of
Japan. Were this region one accessible
to, or frequented by, the correspondents
and artists of the great newspapers of
the land. there would be articles and
illustrations which would shock the
world like the awful scenes sent forth
from the last great famine in India.
In Japan, as there, are women and
children starving and freezing to
death. There are thousands and thou
sands of families unable to obtain food
to maintain life and unable to protect
their shrinking bodies from the cruel
cold of an unusually severe winter.
There might be pictures, as there were
from India. of slowly dying mothers
Giving of their last strength to thin,
suffering babes at the breast, or whole
families might be shown huddied hope
Iesslv in their unwarmed homes-de-
pendent upon what more favored peo-
ple of earth can send to their district to
help them. until nature shows a more
kindly spirit. Snow covers GROUNDS

where the able bodied would work if
they could and these, together with the
aged, the crippled, the women and the
children-there are from twenty-five to
forty thousand sufferers in alI-have
no nope but that the human charity
that always is ready to respond to real
suffering viii be informed of their dire
need In this emergency, all over the
civilized woodland especially in more
fortunate parts of Japan-efforts are
being made to secure funds for the
stricken districts. Honolulu is asked
to help.
The spectacle of a single woman, a
single child, freezing or starving to
death, if close at hand, would be
enough to melt the heart of anyone see
ing it, enough to stir him to the most
earnest, even frantic, efforts to give re-
lief. In this case there are thousands
so suffering, and they are not bit the
less real because they are long way
off. Let those who have the magma
ton picture the terrible scenes IN
these luekless homes in Japan, and they
will be sure to respond to the appear
for help.
AS showing the conditions that exist
the following extracts are quoted from
the japanese press:

POLAR BEARS EASILY TAKEN
with the Modern Repeating rise the
Great Animals Are Killed
:. Wtthou4 Danger.

The animal par excellence, which
the hunter, the amateur Arctic tray
eler and the young explorer hopes
and dreams of killing, is the polar
bear. writes Com. Robert f. Peary,
in Leslie's Monthly. The reason for
this is the --a:nificent trophy which
the great white skin makes. This
feeling was no less strong centuries
ago than it is now, for we read that
one Of the early Icelandic sea rovers
to Greenland quarreled with and
killed his bosom companion because
he had slain a large bear, instead OF
leaving that honor to his chief. With
the modern repeating rife the bear
stands no chance against the hunter,
no matter under what conditions they
may meet, and if he is hunted in the
native way, with the assistance Of
dogs, there is hardly more excite
ment than in killing musk-oxen, ex-
rept for the wild, helter-skelter dash
over the ice to overtakc the animal
after the dogs strike the hot soent.
