FAMINE IN CHINA
STILL UNABATED
MISSIONARY TELLS OF AWFUL
SUFFERING
Fifteen Million Chinese Face Starva-
ton and Are Living on Beans
and Sweet Potato
Leaves

Although help has been hurried to
the ADMINISTRATION provinces of China
the situation is still grave.
According to cable dispatches" said
missionary yesterday, (which are con-
firmed by letters from American mis-
sionaries in the field, 100000 natives
of central China are now suffering from
famine. The suffering is greatest in
the provinces of Kianesu, Che Kiang
and Nganhui. Our state department in
Washington has received an appeal by
cable from Shanghai, declaring the con-
dition to be serious Foreign consuls
general, Chinese authorities and busi-
ness men have united in an effort to
afford relief, but the suffering Is so
widespread that the situation is prac-
tically beyond our control. Great NOR
tality is feared unless relief is speedily
afforded"
Rev. j. S. Stone, a Methodist pastor,
we'll Known in New York and many
years missionary, writes:

aries along the great Chinese canal.

grip of the famine. l visited the lead
ing city of the province affected by the
famine. 1 have conversed with many
missionaries of all denominations about

They unite in saying the picture cam
not be painted too strongly to meet the
facts.
Fifteen Million Suffer
"At place called Chin Kiang, on the
border of a district, there are 100000
people already in the grasp of the
famine. Seven millions are now help
less. They are living on a cruel made
of beans and sweet potato leaves. Even
this will soon be gone. Already the
their relatives and their children and
slavery. our missionaries are trying
to save where they can"
Rev. DR.. Stone describes the Chinese
officials as being singularly Indifferent
to the terrible sufferings of those
around them.
LET them die" said a mandarin to
one of our missionaries. 1--WE have too
many of such creatures in China"
Missionaries Tell Of Flood
Personal letters written by mission
aries to the North China Daily News,
the leading daily OF the orient, will
convey some idea of what a flood of
such serious proportions as that of the
past summer means In low plain,
only a few feet above the sea level,
where the population is from 300 to 400
to the square mile and where the crops
of a normal yield barely suffice for the
teeming millions. 1t is estimated that
the crops, In an area 200 miles long and
200 miles wide, are almost totally de-
stroyed, that is an area Of 10000 square
miles, while the crops in a much larger

AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY ON
LICENSE CLERK
Has Issued 4714 Permits to Wed in
Twelve Months-One Hundred and
Twenty Swear OF Single
BIessedness

Nine thousand, four hundred and
twenty eight residents and visitors OF
Los Angeles county have applied for
and secured permission to marry dur
ing the twelve months just past. OF
these 9428 were men, and the rest,
women.
Not all the victims of the little god
case of many, was this their first Of
fense. From 16-year-old girls to &C.
year-old men the steady stream OF
seekers for happiness who have worn
away the county clerks door sill has
sought to enter the promised land OF
happiness. Some were young and
hopeful; others were old and despon-
dent.
In many cases it required strong urg-
ing on the part Of the groom-to-be to
get the girl into the office. In other
cases the groom was the bashful one;
and in many cases the unmistakable
odor Of "bracer" gave evidence of
the great courage it required for the
masculine member of the party to COM
NIT the irrevocable step.
Yesterday the record of Christmas
eve was broken. When the books closed
last night sixty licenses had been is
sued during the day, bringing the
years total up to ALA. Last year 3S41
licenses were issued, making this year S
record S73 more than that Of last year.
Los Angeles prosperity in this line,
like that of every other industry, has
increased immensely during the past
year. almost a fourth again as much
as last year.

sionaries estimate that there are about

trict where the crops have failed and

| One missionary writes.
Nothing can prevent starvation on
a large scale. Distressing stories are
reaching us of children and the aged
being drowned to prevent their death
| by the agonies of starvation, of parents
| selling their children into slavery or
abandoning them on the streets, and of
others committing suicide by drowning
or opium poisoning. The people, in
their desperation, are in rebellion in one
section, saying they may as we'll die by
the sword as starvation, 1t being death
in either case"
Rev. B. C. Patterson. Southern Pres
byterian mission, Suchien, Ku, writes
in the North China Daily News:
''In one place the people have been
living on elm and sweet potato leaves
mixed with a handful of grain and
boiled. We hope to be able to distribute
relief funds to those within our reach.
Meantime all our poor acquaintances
are bringing their furniture and stuff
and begging us to purchase 1t that they
may provide for the present"
Rev. M. b. Grier, southern Presby-
terian mission, HSuchoufu, writes to
the same paper:
1.-The high water continued for six or
eight weeks and the results are hard
to describe. The receding of the water
began two or three weeks ago, bringing
to view pictures of desolation probably
never witnessed by the people of this
province since the day of the Yellow
rivers inundations. The destruction of
the crops is about as complete as flood
could make it.
prices have risen rapidly. Flour
that was considered dear year ago at
20 to 80 cash catty now sells at from
SO to go. Fuel is also dear, as the main
supply is generally millet and sorgum
stalks, now very scarce. The coal
dealers say the mines are flooded and
cannot easily be worked hence coal has
more than doubled in price. Every
necessity of life is even now beyond the
reach Of the great mass of the people.
Thousands of Refugees
1.-THE number of refugees 1 have met
as L came up the Grand canal would
probably run we'll up into the thou
sands. Whole boatloads of them,
crowded together so closely that they
had no room to eat, and all giving the
same answer to our questions as to
their destination, Going south to beg
Robbers thieves, tramps and rowdies
are said to be everywhere, made des-
perate by the lack of food have not
been able to hear of a single community
where there was no disorder.
"We hear sickening stories of aban-
doned children. Children several years
old have been thrown out tied so that
they could not follow their parents
home, The orphanage is full to over
flowing"
The appeal of the missionary says
items of thousands have left their
homes to beg elsewhere. Some throw
their children into the water then
commit suicide. Many are selling their
children for almost nothing. The
farmers are selling their work animals
to buy food. They have no wheat to
plan for next years crop"

STORM DELAYS
PROPOSED TRIP
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION
WAIT FOR SUNSHINE
Had Expected 70 investigate Dredging
Done by the Lea Angeles Dock
and Terminal Company In
cerritos Slough

Five members of the Los Angeles
city and county consolidation commits
sion. including President Butler and
Secretary Chesebro, went out into the
wet yesterday morning and got as far
as the Pacific Electric station on their
proposed trip to Long Beach ana Will
mingto hut after shaking the water
from their hats they held caucus and
decided that it would be better TO post
none the visit until a brighter day and
when a larger delegation would be as
sured.
The intended trip was for the pur-
nose of inspecting the work thus far
accomplished by the Los Angeles Dock
and Terminal company toward making
of Long Beach seaport city by dredg-
ing deep channels in the Cerritos
slough and opening channel to the
ocean through the old mouth of the San
Gabriel river.
After this inspection and lunch as
guests of the Long Beach consolida-
tion committee, the Los Angeles guests
were to continue the trip to Whining
ton and inspect the harbor frontage
with a view Of securing a line on the
situation as 1t will be effected should
the request of the Southern Pacific and
the Bannings for the right to dredge
channels and create a new frontage
be granted. Should the government
war department grant the request it
will result in making the harbor
frontages now public, private affair,
owned by the Southern Pacinc ana
the Bannings.
1t is probable that the trip prevented
by the rain yesterday Will be made the
latter part. Of the present week or the
first of next.
In the meantime the commission is
preparing petitions to be circulated in
Los Angeles and San Pedro, calling for
an election to decide whether San Pc
dro shall become part of Greater Los
Angeles.
This election, as exclusively an
nounced by The Herald several days
ago, will be held within the next sixty
days. providing the voters of San Pc
dro defeat the freeholders' charter to
be voted upon next Monday
