SUFFERING SUNDERLAND.
Great Famine District in the Midst
of England.


Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. December. 21.-Thirty thou
sand persons at Sunderland are in want,
many are homeless and hundreds are
starving as the result of the stoppage
or curtailment of work in the shipbuild-
ing industry. Nothing, however, could be
more admirable than the way in which
the people of Sunderland have them
selves tackled the distress problem. The
entire borough has been mapped out into
districts. and a local committee appointed
for each one. These all work under the
direction of a central body. The chill
dren are being cared for in the schools,
and the other day as many as 1,IO0>free
meals were distributed. People are en-
couraged to give in the names Of those In
want, and a large band of voluntary
workers visit these in their homes. 1T
is our business to see that the money
which reaches us is used to the best adj
vantage, and that not a penny Is wasted, =
the mayor said. He and his helpers are
certainly doing this.

nit relief to be given TO any but really
urgent cases. OF these there is no lack
Besides the public fund a vast amount of

some of these food distributions are
touching. Women, pale and thin, break
down and cry at the sight of the bread
for their children. %And, although the
machinery for distributing relief is i'm

British justice is usually regarded
A. both sure and swift, and much has
been printed to show how much hard

England than in the United States,
and how much mtre certain he is to
be punished. A recent communica-
tion to the London Times by Sir
Ralph Littler. veteran magistrate,
puts decidedly different aspect upon
the matter. The writer. complaining
Of the wholly inadequate sentences
which are often imposed, mentions the
case of one man who boasted that he

breaking no less than % times. He
had been in prison four times in one

months. The London police report 733

less than one in four. These facts
certainly do not indicate any marked
superiority in the administration OF
