The State Department has received
mail advices from the American consul
general at Canton describing the havoc
wrought by flood in July in the provinces

until the next harvest
Villages Blotted Out.
I'm many places whole villages have
been blotted out, Inhabitants and all,
says the report. THE loss of life may
never be known, but the suffering
caused is appalling. The West river

the fields and lands are under several
feet of water Banks require rebuild

given, but even thus the people, hav-

Famine Threatens.
"At the first we hoped the water
might recede more rapidly and the
fields be available for the second
planting. This now appears not to be
possible. In such event the people face
ten or twelve months of famine.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

ment, and spent the night at 1928 South
the nature of his malady was discovered.
Norman was sent to the Municipal Hos
pital, and the house quarantined.
Asked for Salve.
When he appeared at the hospital Nor
man had no suspicion Of the nature of his
ailment. He told the physicians he want
ed some salve The spread Of the infec-
ton was clearly evident on his hands and
face.
This Is the first case of leprosy ever
reported as having originated In this city.
It presents an extraordinary problem for
the health authorities, who probably will
be forced to deport the leper. since no
means for the care Of such incurables Is
provided here.
The last leper reported in this city was
TRANSPORTED through here In box car,
and was sent out Of the city to the care
OF the community from which he ccme.
He finally was sent to a leper settlement
