painted with horrible simplicity.
The Chinese government Is doing its
best TO reduce the famine by distribut-
ing rice, put thousands upon thousands
of tons are necessary for each person
to receive even q few grains. and the
consequence is that If the population
near the towns receive relief in this
form, those farther out are still left
Of necessity to their fate. In some por-
lions Of the Celestial Empire. even can
nibalism has been resorted to-
In some OF the expeditions against pi-
rates in the Upper Tonkln province the
wives and children Of the prisoners have
been eaten for food. one woman who
escaped from a band OF such monsters
described a fearful scene Of savagery.
A Chinaman took young child which
was still at the breast Of its captive
mother. and holding it by the heels,
dashed its brains out against a tree.
The mother threw herself on the muir
derer, but was felled: and mother and
child served as The evening repast for

PLEBEIANS BARRED
FROM KAISER'S GUARD

BERLIN, July 6.-Unless one belongs
TO a noble family. il is hopeless to try
for commission in the Kaisers guard.
This is a sore grievance with the
wealthy commercial class. who are am
bilious for the social cachet given by
having a son in the guards.
Among the 506 or 600 officers in the
Prussian Guarc regiments, only six lack
the noble ''vons" to their names, and all
these are in the artillery or in the engi-
neers corps, where brains are more cs-
sential than nobility or wealth.
Although life in the guards is very
much more expensive than il. the line.
the wealthy burghers, in these days Of
Germany's prosperity. do not see why
this should debar them from getting
commissions for their sons in the corps
e'elite. The real fact Is that there is a
rigid military caste that will allow no
plebeian blood to come among them as
comrades, even it is flows in the veins
Of miliionaires.
Meanwhile. the Kaiser is trying to
find means of reducing the expenses
OF officers in the guards. He has con-
ferrcd on the subject with the com
manders Of three Of the most expensive

LONDON. July 1.-THE English press

Americanitis. Scarcely a day passes

Not even were the Americans who
did" Ascot exempt from the nuis-
snce OF being accredited superlatively
wealthy. All their movements we're
carefully watched by the critical eyes OF
London society. and the one great theme
OF conversation was their hypothetical
incomes.
The managers of various Atlantic
steamship lines gre particularly irate at
the attitude OF the London press. and
emphasize the fact that the stories OF
overcrowded ships are doing them an
incalculable harm. Even one OF the most
