liVing on one meal day, and in m any
cases the only food obtainabIe wss
gruei and sweet potato leaves.
lens OF thousands left their houses
TO go elsewhere and beg, and some
drowned their children and then killed
themselves. Cinnamon sold their chill
dren and their work ANNA for money
to buy food, and they have no wheat
for this years planting.
The relief measures taken by the

adequate, even if honesty administer
ed, aud troops have been used to force
the sufferers 10 remain in the flooded
districts, although falling to provide
them wIth food.
Little relief can be hoped for until
the ripeniIg of the June crops, except
the aid that comes from outside sources
and missionaries in China, represent
