CONDITIONS IN FAMINE
DISTRICT ARE IMPROVING
Death Rate from starvation In North
China Greatly Decreased as
Result of Relief Work.

SHANGHAI, May 2.-A correspondent Of
the Associated Press who returned today
from the famine stricken districts OF north
ern China found conditions improved MS a
result of the relief work, but still bad.
The daily death rate has decreased from
several thousand in the middle Of March
to a few hundred.
Many farms are deserted. Children who
formerly were sold for 30 cents each are
now exchanged for few pounds of grain
Women are selling themselves into slavery
to provide succor for their more helpless
ones.
The Chinese gentry are exhibiting a new
spirit having abandoned the old-time the
ory that famines were a necessary evil
TO reduce the surplus population. The con-
tinuation of the famine. however, is ex-
hausting the relief supplies and relief must
be provided for a million and half more
persons.
