RED CROSS TO
AID OF CHINA
Three Million Flood Sufferers
are In Dire
Need
STATE SOCIETY SEEKS
RELIEF FUND HERE

Miss Emily r. Bissell, Secretary OF
the Delaware Red Cross Society, has
received from Washington procla-
nation by President TAFT calling for
aid for the three million flood suffer-
ers in China. The treasurer OF the
Delaware Red Cross is Henry NJ. Can
by Of No. 600 Equitable Building, who
will receive personally or by letter
any gifts that may be sent. These will
be duly acknowledged through the
newspapers.
The American Red Cross Society, a
short time ago sent a skilled engineer,
c. ID. Jameson, to inspect the famine
district, which has been largely caused
by the floods, and asked him to re-
port on the possibility of flood preyen-
ton, as II seemed best to the Red
Cross with its large experience in
such matters to relieve the people by
paying them to engage in some pre-
ventivc work, rather than simply to
distribute rations to maintain them as
Daupers Mr. Jameson says there is
no reason why the floods could not be
done away with entirely, with the ex-
ception OF very abnormal ones. The
area of the food covers over 10000
square miles Of land and the expense
would be large but the money given
toward the relief of the famine suf-
fcrcrs could be applied as far as IT
went. ana would do very important
work for many districts. while It
might not cover the whole area af-
fcctcd
President Taft. in addition to call
ing on the Red Cross Society Of each
state. will ask the governors TO issue
special proclamations in some states,
and It is probable that Governor PEN
newill will issue such a proclamation
In n few days.
Some three million people are af-
fcctcd by this famine. one OF the worst
over known in the worlds history
and the helpless and distracted con-
dltion of China at present makes the
situation tenfold worse Even the con-
trihutiOn Of a nickel means food for
a Chinese family for a day.
Mr.. Jameson in his report Of con-
ditions pictures the following:
"In one of the walled cities, while
walking round the wall, one morn
ing, just after sunrise. ! came across
the omaciatod body of young boy,
FIVE or six years old; fine boy His
throat had been cut from ear to ear,
and piece of paper was pinned on
him which stated that his father and
mother had nothing to give him to eat; +;
and the children OF the village we're
standing around. looking at the corpse.
The effect this sort OF thing is hav-
ing on the children of that region Is
that they are growing up beggars, II
they do not die Their fathers and
mothers are either dying, begging or
robblng The schools throughout that
section arc all closed, and the chill
dren are getting no edncation; they
are simply becoming beggars, with
no object in life and those strong
enough are beginning 70 rob. In one
place, in three weeks thirty men were
executed TOR robbery. The magistrates
have military power, and about SOC
soldiers each, so they can execute
their own criminals
