CHINESE FLOODS
AMERICAN RED CROSS ENGI-
NEER NOW ~ CHINA STUDY
ING THE PROBLEM.

The present food In the Yangtze
river. In China. with the frlghtful
loss OF life and property which 1t has
caused. makes especially timely the
recent action OF the American Red
Cross In sending to China an en-
gineer to study best means OF prevent
ing the floods which repeatedly have
caused such awful devastation in
that country. This engineer, Mr.. c.
ID. Jameson. reached China IN July,
and has been given cordial well
come and all necessary assistance by
the Chinese government. As Mr..
Jameson formerly lived 16 years In
China his familiarity with customs
and conditions gives him thorough
preparation for his present important
mission.
BY the terms of Its federal charter
the Red Cross is charged with the
duty of trying 10 prevent as well as
relieve distress caused by disasters.
In this instance the salary and tray
cling expenses OF MIR. Jameson are
borne by the Red Gross. while the
Chinese government provides for all
other expenses. Most of the great
Chinese disasters which have so fire.
quently shocked the world have been
in the form OF floods or famines re-
sulting from the destruction OF crops
by floods. The terrible famine for
the relief Of whose sufferers the
world was called upon 10 give last
winter was caused IN this way. II
would seem that here Is one of the
most striking opportunities ever
afforded for demonstrating the value
of preventive as compared 10 relief
measures.
