EATING BARK OF TREES.
Pitiful Efforts of Chinese to Sustain Life
Graphic Description of Conditions by
An American Traveller.

Mr. Earl r. Cressy. an American, VIII,
has recently returned from a tour of in
spection of the famine districts of Chini
relates many instances illustrative of the
/ frightful conditions of starvation which
prevailed early in February. He made q
minute examination of many Chinese
homes Describing an inspection of all
the houses, large and small, in severa
groups, a total of fiffty.five houses, Mr.
/ Cressy makes the following statement:
"a straw stack indicates that there has
| been a crop / found straw in four yards,
Grain was found in only seven houses out
of the fifty.ive, and in no place over a
peck of it. The food in process of pre-
paration was invariably greens--sweet
potato leaves or carrot tops, thin, acrid
smelling mass of the appearance of stag
nant water and about as appetizing, only
once in a while containing bit of vege-
table or grain. About one out of every
three was eating elm bark which they
prepare by reducing it to a fine sawdust
and then making it into cakes. Whole
rows of trees have thus been stripped of
their bark OF even such sorry food as
this only few have any great amount on
hand After it is gone they will eat the
bark of the willow and mulberry which
cause swelling and hasten death. Except
for these the countryside is absolutely
bare.
"To look back upon it, the whole seems
like a bad dream. The gloom Of the
wretched homes, whirling snow, driven
by the bitter wind. the hungry garrulous-
ness of the old women, the modest shy
ness of Young matrons at suddenly find
ing themselves in the presence ola foreign
man, little children crying over their
pitiful food, the dumb agony on the face
Of the woman whom we had to tell that
her husband bad just breathed his last,
the dead with mummy faces and claw.like
feet-all this is only a small part of the
grim tragedy of the famine where two and
q half millions are facing conditions like
these "
As rapidly as contributions are received
by the American Red Cross they are hur-
ried by cable to ,the relief committee in
Shanghai. Up to March 1, $4,000 has
been forwarded. Millions are needed,
because the new grain crop in China can.
not be harvested for three months.
The New York relief committee, coop
Grating with the Red Cross, is urging
every pastor in the United States to speak
to his congregation on the famine on
March 10th, and TO take a collec-
ton for the starving. The Red Cross ap-
proves this request and urgesauniversal
with it. The money thus
may be sent to the New York |
Famine Relief Committee, Madison |
Avenue, New York, or to the American |
Red Cross, Washington. In either case
the amounts received will be acknowledge |
I'd and promptly cabled to China.
