Their to show us the romance of aviation.

than the pinions of aeroplanes.

has now written the master story of his
life, 1.-The Sovereign Power"
Mans ambition to conquer the air,
mans ambition to rule kingdoms, mans
ambition to win the love of woman
which is the master passion? You will
love Ann Milburn. the charming. whimsi-
cal American heroine. You will admire
oliver Page, the ambitious American avi-
ator You will not know just how to feel
toward Prince Radoslav. the enigmatical
dreamer of empire. until near the end.
But you cannot help reading The
Sovereign Power" once you begin it.: In

Opinion on Canal Zone Extradition

At the request of the Secretary Of
War, the Attorney General has rem
dered an opinion on the applicability
of the United States extradition laws
to the Canal Zone. Although he be-
lieves that the matter is one for
judicial determination. the Attorney
General says 1t is his opinion that none
of the laws now in effect in the United
States applies to the rendition of
fugitives from justice from the Canal
Zone. 1t is recommended that sec
tons 1914 and 6278 of the Revised
Statutes be extended by congressional
action to the Canal Zone. as was done
in the case Of the Philippines.

DYING BY THOUSANDS
Of HUNGER IN CHINA
Stories of Famine Horror Are
Told in State Department
Dispatches.

More gruesome stories Of the horrors Of
the Chinese famine have reached the
State Department from the consul gen.
eral at Shanghai, who sums up condi-
tons at the beginning of February.
During the early winter many families
had been able to keep alive by husband
ing their stores of grain. eating two meals
of Cruel a day helped out with sweet po-
tato vines and weeds. But these supplies
at the end of January were about ex-
hausted and even ''well-to-do' farmers
and their families were on the verge Of
starvation.
One-Third Dead Of Hunger.
In one village of a hundred families
population had died of hunger and pesti-
tence. One traveller reported passing
thirteen dead bodies by the roadside in
thirteen miles.
A missionary reports that in district
just visited by him the starving had re-
ceived from the government cents a
apiece, with which they had bought cakes
made of leaves and stems mixed with
millet chaff.
They were unable to buy with such a
small sum anything more edible. The
trees had been stripped of bark. which
had been eaten. In that county it was
estimated that there were 10000 without
any food save weeds and bark Children
were being exchanged by their parents
for food.
Selling Children for Food.
DIR. Cochrane. an American medical
missionary of the Presbyterian Church,
reported that in the county where he was
at work the most conservative estimate
was that $1,000 were in dire need. and
that in the whole afflicted region to say
there were two million starving would be
nearer the mark than an estimate of one
million.
The missionaries have attacked the
work of relief with the greatest system
and directness. The families in the prov
ince Of Puchow, for instance, were d.
vided into four classes and enumerated,
with this result: Those who had plenty
numbered 1895: those who could exist
till harvest on what grain they had. 2O9,-
937; those who had little grain, but would
be in need before the end of February,
156, 3O1, and those really destitute in need
of immediate relief, 197,6S1.
