 "I made two trips into the famine district. met between 200 and 30O refugees. Thousands had left to seeb support elsewhere, but these had re mained to plant a little wheat to re turn to in the spring then left to try and keep body and soul together by begging or by such scanty work as they could find.
 Suffering Caused by Floods.
 "Onlv about one-third of the amount of wheat planted in autumn could be sown this year owing to the abjec' poverty of the inhabitants. It will take several years to get over the eff fects of the floods. even if they pull through alive till spring.
 For six months hundreds of thou sands will be absolutely destitute and more than 100000 persons will be dependent upon charity.
