p.sse newspapers and other mail ad-
vices received az the state depart
Yuput coupled with a warming given
by Cousel General Rodgers OF th.
possible effects of outbreaks which
daily occur Ia the famine districts
has attracted the attention of gov
eminent authorities and develop
n1ents wlll he closely watched.
One OF the greatest dangers which
relief workers confront is an epidem-
ic In the great concentration camps
which have been formed by the refu-
gees who have fled from the stricken
districts to the south by the tens OF
thousands the people live. some OF
them only partially clothed. others
entirely naked In mud huts held to-
gegther by netting
Medical supplies and skin are bad
1y needed in these self-formed habit
auons as well as clothing, Native of
ficials and authorities are doing
their utmost TO control the situation
but the task is now far beyond them,
and outside aid is badly needed.
The government has opened pub
lie relief works where the men can
secure employment. Estimates have
been made OF the cost of feeding each
starving person and the total amount
will reach close to $4,000 daily.
This estimate is based on the specu-
lation that 100000 people are ac-
tually starving.
Some OF the incidents as related
in the Chinese press are most revolt
ing. The story is told OF one family,
mother and father and two children; !;
the mother left home in search Of
food and while she was away the IA
ther despairing of aid, threw both
children into the river. The motheI
returned and learning what had hap
pened threw herself into the river
and was drowned. The grief stricken
father followed and thus the whole
family perished.
