FLOODS AND FAMINE
CITIES AND TOWNS IN CHINA
UNDER WATER, MANY HOMES

Because of Destruction Of Fields and
Scarcity of Rice, the Cost of Liv-
ing Has Risen to Highest Point
Ever Attained.

Washington.-The enormity and
horror of the famine situation con-
fronting China. caused by the over.
flow of the Yang Tsen river, was on
Wednesday officially reported to the
state department by American Con.
sui General Wilder at Shanghai, and
the question of rendering Red Cross
assistance is under consideration.
AS the amount at the disposal OF
the American Red Cross society TO-.
this purpose is infinitesimal when
compared with the proportions of the
necessity, it is possible that an ap-
peal for additional funds may be is
sued.
The entire territory between Han.
kow and Shanghai. a distance OF
about GOO miles, has been overlooked,
Mr.. Wilder reports. Cities and towns
are under water, many dwellings be-
ing submerged. Because of the scar.
city of rice and the destruction OF
the fields, the cost of living has risen
TO the highest point ever attained.
