MANY THREATENED
WITH STARVATION
Thousands Are Homeless. Floods
Cause Deplorable Conditions
in China.

NANKING, CHINA.-One million
persons are threatened with starva-
ton and several hundred thousands
have been rendered homeless as re-
suit of floods which are raging along
the Hwai river in Anhwei province.
President Lo Yuan-hung has per-
sonally contributed 100000 silver
for relief and parliament will doubt
less make an effort to appropriate
money for the same purpose. How
ever, the Chinese government is prac-.
tically without funds as a result of
the bitter political situation, and
Chinese papers say there will be an
appalling death list from starvation
if the American Red Gross shall not
again come to the relief of the
stricken.
The flooded district is approximate
ly two hundred miles long, and has
an average width of twenty miles. 1t
is a fiat plain given over largely to
wheat cultivation.

EXPLORER TELLS
STORY OF RESCUE
TWENTY-FIVE MEN NARROWED
ON ICEBOUND ISLAND FL
NALLY RESCUED.

LONDON.-"Our fourth attempt
to rescue our comrades left on Ele-
plant Island succeeded. All arrived
safe and well. To the Chilean gov
eminent, which placed at my dis
posal the steamer Yelcho, l owe the
deepest thanks for the means of res
cue"
The foregoing message received
from Sir Ernest Shackleton, dated at
Punta Arenas, Chile, is printed by
the Daily Chronicle, with dispatch
from the explorer telling. how after
steering the rescue ship in the fog
through icebergs he reached his men
on Elephant island in the Antarctic.
The explorer also sent an account by
Captain Wild, in command of the
twenty-five men from the lost ship
Endurance, who were marooned on
the icebound fastness of Elephant
island. They had been there since
April 16 and until this week no news
of the party had been received since
April "a, the day Shackleton, with
nVe companions, SET OUT Oh Ills oOV"
mile voyage in an open boat.
The marooned men made dwell
ing out of two boards, supported by
rocks. In May heavy blizzard de-
stroyed their shelter. They had only
one hot meal daily. In August they
were able to collect seaweed, which
formed valuable change in their
diet.
After the failure of his Antarctic
expedition Shackleton, with five mem
bers of his crew, managed to reach
Port Stanley, Falkland Island, May
81. The first attempt to rescue the
men who were left on Elephant
island was made in May, the second
in June and the third attempt in July,
all failing on account of the ice.

LOGGER HAS time
With joint SNAKE
ENOCH CHASE HAD A LIVELY
FEW MINUTES DOWN ON
THE FARM.

Enoch Chase had peculiar expert
ence last week while taking the logs
out of the old dug-out on Mel Hick's
south eighty, reports correspondent
of the Larned (CaL) Tiller and Toll
er. He ran across joint snake be-
tween the logs and hit it with a spade.
Of course, every joint flew apart and
started to wiggle off.
Enoch, just for a joke, picked up
one of the joints and put it in bask-
ct and then slipped behind the logs
and waited to see what would hap
pen. In about ten minutes he heard
a sort of low whistle and then a rust
ling. The head Of the joint snake
came out of the woods and looked
around. 1t then made a peculiar
whistle and another joint backed up
and fastened on to the head.
Different Signals.
The head whistled twice and joint
No. 2 came out, and so on, so many
whistles for each joint, until it came
time for the one Enoch had in his
bucket. At it's call the thing thresh-
ed around in the bucket like all pos
sessed, but couldn't get out OF
course without the joint that fit the
snake couldn't get together.
Enoch said the last he saw of it
the head had taken charge of one half
and the tail the rest and had gone off
in different directions to hunt up the
missing joint. Enoch got almost
home with his joint when an automo-
bile footed down the road. This eth
err scared the joint or it was its coup
ling on signal, for Enoch says it man
aged to flop out of the bucket and
get away.
