THE CHINESE FAMINE.

II viii doubtless surprise Americans
20 learn that in many of the interior
cities of China are civic Improvement
associations whose objects are similar
10 those of such organizations in this
country. The most enlightened and
public spirited Chinese are banded to-
rether in those associations for the
purpose Of promoting education, SAN
itation. and the common good, and TO
suppress graft and other forms of
political corruption All of which
sounds familiar to American ears.
For the first time these organiza-
lions Of the Chinese best people" are
10 be actively enlisted In carrying out
the famine relief measures planned
by the relief committee at Shanghai.
This is of especial interest in the
United States because the relief funds
new being raised by the Red Cross
will be distributed through the Shan
ghai Committee The famine relief
fund VIII be largely used in employing
the famine sufferers TO reconstruct
their own dykes and roads which have
been destroyed by floods. Thus the
idle ana despairing people will be en-
abled TO earn a living while waiting
for another harvest and will at the
same time be helping TO restore their
country 10 normal conditions. one Of
the most serious problems in RELIEF
operations attending other famines
has been the pauperizing effect upon
the population Of receiving support
during prolonged periods OF idleness.
The plan now 10 be adopted promises
70 reduce this demorallzing result
Mr.. c. n. Jameson, the American Red
Cross engineer who has recently trav-
eled extensively through the districts
which have suffered much from
famines in late years, reports that the
people. finding crops usually failure
and relief certain. show material in
clination TO abandon their lands ana
turn TO beggary. This tendency II is
hoped now 10 check by means OF
system Of relief based upon honest
work.
The present unsettled political con-
ditions i'm China make II impossible
for the Chinese Government 20 con-
tribute literally 10 the relief funds.
For this reason II becomes the more
| imperative that the United States, al
ways China's friend, shall respond TO
| the need generously. Famine condi-
| tons are so desperate that any des-
| cription OF them seems almost in
creditable. Mr.. Jameson writes OF
| professions Of gaunt, starving people
wandering airnlessly along the roads
falling and dying in the mud when
they can go no further Day after day
he passed dead bodies OF men, women
and children lying where they had
fallen. And the famine must continue
until summer before new crops can be
harvested. Nearly 100000 persons
live In these famine districts, winch
cover thousands Of square miles.
The Shanghai Relief Committee has
asked the United States 10 raise a re-
lief fund Of 100000 and the Ameri-
| can Rod Cross is endeavoring 90 dc
| all possible 30 meet the need. Con-
tributions for this purpose sent 10 the
| Red Cross Chapters or state Boards
| will be cabled 20 China without un-
necessary delays.
