from American BANKERS.

Dispatches have been received at the
State Departent expressing hope that the
Red Cross can prevail upon American
bankers to advance money for the COM
mencement Of the engineering work in
the Hwai River region in China designed
to prevent disastrous floods. Funds were
just about to be furnished when the
European war brought on a financial
stringency.
1t is stated that the present flood in
the valley is the worst Of many similar
disasters. In many places the water has
been twenty feet deep. The people have
been committing suicide in despair, and
many parents have tied their children
to floating objects in the hope that they
might be saved, though the result has
been that most OF the children have
starved to death. Tens of thousands are
destitute. with the winter season well
advanced, and no relief in sight.
