over and and over again, 'wo men
Essu liac'-'We are starving to DEATH
Unlike the beggarS SO common in
cities, these people a few years ago
were successful farmers and laborers
unaccustomed to begging. They have
not learned to beg. We found several
homes in which only children were
left. and in one home a single little
child of eight years, huddled in a cor
ner with bowl of cooked bark and
weeds, which she was eating with
chop sticks. She was the last of her
family. The works in famine relief
said 1t was usual for the father to die
first, then the mother then the older
children and the younger children last
of all, showing that affection and self
sacrifice persisted even under these
conditions.
Relief Sanely Conducted
Il visited two of the stations for
famine relief carried on by the Cen
trail China Famine Relief committee
These were at You Kou and Sun CHA
Wei Tsu; the first was conducted from
a village of about 1000 and the latter
in a farm house of one of the local
gentry. We thoroughly investigated
the relief work in operation, talked
over the plans of the Chinese and the
loTeiBHeTS III charge, ana WIN those
being relieved, and 1 am convinced
that the relief Is sanely and economi-
cally conducted; effective in relieving
the suffering of the people; in helping
to prevent the repetition of famine
conditions; does not pauperize those
helped, but rather encourages self
help; and that every dollar is hon
estly administered"
The American Red Cross has for
warded to the relief committee in
China over $4,000 since January
This includes the amount raised by
the vigorous efforts of the New York
Famine Relief committee, which is a
tireless auxiliary of the Red Cross.
But the committee in China pleads for
at least 100000 more to enable it to
carry on Its great task until the new
harvest ripens Contributions of any
amount will help. They should be
sent to the American Red Cross.

state Red Cross board of any state.

CHINESE FAMINE
NOW AT ITS worst
Starvation Destroying Thousands
in China-Late Reports From
~ an American Observer

Reports from China received at the
national headquarters of the Red
Cross within the last few days state
that the famine is now at its most
acute stage. During the next six weeks
while the new corps are ripening the
need for relief will be most intense.
AT present the relief committee Is en-
ploying about 10000 men on public
works and the earnings of these men
are saving probably 100000 persons
from starvation. Meanwhile, certain
~ 100000 are suffering and many
thousands must dies unless the relief
measures are greatly extended.
Mr.. Charles w. Harvey of the Y.
NJ c. A. of Tientsin, made recent
journey through the famine districts
and at the request of United States
Minister Calhoun, at Picking, prepared
a report of his observations The
character of this report which has
been forwarded to the state depart
ment and is now in the hands of the
Red Cross, may be indicated by quot
ing briefly from it's contents.
No Children Playing
mo children were seen at play. No
grain, meat, vegetables or foodstuffs
of any kind except the bark of trees,
dried grass, wild garlic and root were
seen. We found no sign of clothing
anywhere, except the rags on the
backs of the people, no bedding. q
few farming implements, nothing that
could possibly be turned into money
except an occasional piece of furni-
ture and the doors of the houses or
rafters in the matched roofs In
many places we noted the absence of
doors in the homes and saw the mud
walls of the houses stripped of roofs
which we soon found had been used
for fuel or exchanged for food.
"On the first morning out of Ching
Kiangpu we met a man pushing a
wheelbarrow containing "a low flat
baskas in which was huddled the
starving forms of his wife and child
and beside them few charred pieces
Of wood which he hoped to exchange
Iii the city for food. II shall
never forget one little mud hut with
out door, window or furniture, on the
mud floor of which sat a young wo-
man of twenty-five with child of two

piled without comment, cannot get
him to eat any more grass. He is

Attorney Benjamin Taylor made
this statement: 81 think the pres

Attorney F. F. Ellsworth is not in
favor of recall but thinks that the
agitation may prove beneficial. His
statement was: ut would seem to
me that if the present officials were
recalled it might be difficult to pro-
cure the services Of competent men
to fill the commissioners places. A
great many men would hesitate to
accept an office in the morning and
be decapitated at night. However, I
believe the agitation for the recall
may prove beneficial all around. 1t

else Of too much authority and a

These Are Opposed.
Attorneys C. E. Phillips and r. F.
Hunt said that at this time they dis
approved very strongly of such an ac-
ton.
r. M. Otto said: ~ certainly do
not approve of a recall. 1t is a
shame to bring it up at this time"
John Krost of the o. w. Schmidt
Saddlery company, stated that he
certainly was not in favor of a re-
call. That the agitation has been
started through selfish motive and
that if the voters want a recall at
all they can wait until the decision is
handed down by the supreme court.

He also requested another sum OF
S25 to be used for transportation
purposes, as So would be spent every
time person went to the country
to hold a meeting, and although some
money was raised in the collections,
yet to safeguard the committee and
workers, S25 would be needed. Rev.

carried.
Work of Bible Committee.
NJ. w. Deputy reported the work
done by the Bible study committee
and the plans for the future. He
said that Professor J. A. Hancock 8
duties would not permit him to be
a member on this committee and
hence desired someone else to take
his place. c. l.. Kennedy was sug-
gested as the man for the place, but
on motion Of Rev. Osgood, it was de-
cided that the Bible study commit
tee be authorized to fill Professor
Hancock's place. Mr.. Deputy is to
confer with Mr.. Kennedy in an at
tempt to get him to do this work.
Mr.. Deputy said that the commit
tee was not certain as to the scope
of the work. He suggested that it
would be we'll to make canvass
Of the churches and Sunday schools
to find out the present conditions
Of all Bible study classes. Second,
to bring before the congregation OF
each church, the matter of taking
up a campaign to get all the mem
bers into the Bible study classes.
Third, get some Bible study man
here. '..'<
Recommended Mr.. Locker.
Mr.. Deputy suggested A. NJ. Lock
er as one especially fitted to instruct
the local men. Fourth, the matter
of teachers training work should not
be overlooked F.. NJ. Deerhake sug-
gested that the key men of the
church hold a meeting and receive
definite instructions from Mr. Locker,
as this would have more lasting re-
suits for action.
Mr.. Willard suggested that the Gus
tom of holding suppers at the meet
ings be revived, as, he said, those
held in the early part of the winter
proved very successful. However,
he moved that the recommendation
of Mr.. Deputy be adopted, which mo-
ton was carried.
