Strong Appeal Made To Detroit
ers To Send Assistance
To Stricken People

The joint committee OF the Pastors
union and citizens appointed by
Mayor Thompson TO solicit aid for ia
mlne-stricken people in the flooded
districts OF China, says in an appeal
II is sending out:
1T is estimated that three millions
of people in Central China are on the
verge of starvation. Many have al
ready died OF hunger, and unless
prompt relief is given, multitudes OF
men. women and children must per
ish. This is one OF the worst fam
ines OF modern times. In this time
OF national crisis and reconstruction
in China and in her hour of dire phys
zeal distress and suffering. may Amer
lea prove a friend, indeed.
Fifteen dollars will save a whole
family from starvation. Hundreds c!
thousands OF lives can be saved II
sufficiently prompt and generous con-
tributions are made"
The appeal also gives the following
extract from report of c. ID. Jane.
son, engineer, sent out over to China
by the Red Cross society, TO investl-
gate the flood conditions:
Il do not think any OF you has an
idea OF the condition of the people in
that district, of their utter wretched-
ness. They have had floods for three
years; they have had no crops and
are utterly discouraged. They have
10 seed to plant, and no animals TO
plow with, and this condition OF ar
fairs has gone on so long that they
have lost all desire for work; they
simply want to lie down in the mud
and die"
