Washington, Sept. 21.--American Red
Cross officials to-day gave serious con-
slderation to the State Department
dispatch stating that nearly a million
chinese are homeless and thousands
destitute as result of the flooding of
seven thousand square miles by over
flow of the Hwai river in Anhui prov

American consul at Marking reported
that Autumn crops were DESTROYED
and calls for relief were pouring in
from many districts.
The Red Cross is said to be con-
sldering issuing an appeal for funds
with which to send supplies to the
flood sufferers. The flooded area is
about the same as that inundated in
1903 with loss of nearly 1000, 900
lives. A projected S30,000,0O0 Chinese
government loan for reclamation work
was made impossible by the European
