Good Work of Americans During
the Terrible Famine in Japan.

EPoRTS from Yokohama under
date of June Is say that the
IN famine in Japan is '.... over and IND
there is no further necessity for
outside assistance. A total OF $I5e,oeV
gold has been used and upward OF half
million people assisted. The terri
tory covered an area of $4,000 square
miles. stretching 200 miles by 10 miles
wide from the mountains to the sea
In the fall of 1905, when the Govern
ment reports of the crops came In,
famine was evident, and Americans
took a hand in the first relief work.
Under missionary auspices commit
tee of five Americans was chosen, later
enlarged to seven by the addition OF
Church of England missionary and a
French Roman Catholic. Rev. William
E. LAmpe was elected chairman and
the work promptly started. A report
of the situation was sent to Washing
ton by Consul General Miller. and Pres
f1ent Roosevelt promptly sent forth hts
appeal for assistance which bore such
magnificent results.
To the United States more than any
other country the people attribute their
relief America was the first In the
field with her contributions. and they
exceeded in amount more than all other
countries combined. total of $320,000
gold was contributed by the citizens of
the United States. 1t came at least
six weeks before any other contribu-
ton. 1t was known as The United
States fund.- Considerable foodstuffs
were sent direct by the Canadian Gov
ernment, Australia and Siam, and these
were effectively used during the win-
ter months.
In every village headquarters were
established and food was given to last
three days, but in no instance did it
exceed in amount IA cents per capita
In no instance was money given. Every

history, occupation and necessities. So
1t may be said that every Individual
was looked after. To make this sys-
tenn practical man was placed in
charge of each twenty-five houses In
the famine region, and he was required
to see to 1t that his charges were prop
+ er1y cared for. Each day he made re-
ports to his superior, and when a spe-
cially deserving case was recounted
special care was directed to 1t. It was
the Governments idea to save the self
respect OF the people and not pauper-
fze them
Early in the famine the scarcity of
food put the people to the extremes
of eating the roots and leaves Of trees
ana shrubs, acorns, and even straw.
The Government Immediately dis
patched it's chemists to get samples
OF these emergency foods and anafyze
them to determine their food value.
Previous famines in Japan had been
marked by large mortalities, due to
intestinal disorders as the result of
bad food. Profiting by the experience
OF her surgeons In the late war, the
Government sent trained corps to the
famine region. and careful survey
was kept upon the hygiene of the peo-
pie. There was no outbreak of dysen-
terry, no pest of any description.
In distributing its relief funds the
Government required the tilIfns of all
land. Laborers were put into fields
which had been barren for two years.
aud they were cultivated and made
ready for rice crop There was mo-
confiscation. The Government was
looking to the prosperity of its people.
and after tilling the ground and put
ting in the crop turned it over to the
owner and said: Here is your farm
ready to produce. See to 1t that you
make every effort to keep the ground
titled and pay back the cost of what
the Government has done in five years"
The most potent influence of the
American relief committee was exerted
In the salvation of young girls driven
to desperation through the suffering of
their parents. Two orphanages were
establfshed-one at Sendai. where 250
girls were cared for, and the other at
Okayama, where $50 orphans and poor
children Were properly housed and fed.
