MONEY LENDER PITlED POOR
Chinese shylock in Marchuria Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work TO
Relieve His Conscience.

- o. afaAN
A wealthy Chinese money lender in
Manchuria was recently convicted Of
making false declaration regarding
robberies of his caravans by Mongolian
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such in extent that he offered to
contribute an annual sum OF $3.50 for
the relief Of the poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
Of a fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchuling.
Manchuria is terribly poor, despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tractad from Its soil and allSef
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands of indus
trious natives unable, by ~unremitting
toll, to earn more than a meager Hv-
ing. When to their natural difficulties
are added the rayages Of bandits and
the evils. of misgovernment, such as
now prevail in many parts of China,
AFFECT poverty and starvation must be
the lot of the people who, in the best
of times, are only half fed.
