North China Flood Losses Within Past Two Months
 Placed at $2O0,00O,0 900

| Tientsin, November 20-Two hun dred million dollars is the estimated
 amount. of the actual property loss
 from the great floods which have swept over north China within the l last two months and finally engu1fcd 1 this city in an inland sea which l threatens to remain at standstill and work further damage by freez- l ing.
 l Chinese government railways have already expended several millions of dollars in repairing damages. The Pe- king Hankow railway is now able to handle through business between the l two cities by the use of a ferry across the Pluto river.
 l The railway connecting Tientsin and
 Shanghai suffered less loss than the 1 Hankow railway, but the first 30 miles
 of the line south of Tientsin is en- tirely under water and there is no 1 Likelihood that through traffic can be
 resumed for months.
 l Tientsin, with it's one million inhab- l itants, great majority of whom are I coolies dependent upon export trade for employment, faces terrible crisis. I In addition to the resident population | this city has also become the refuge center for a great population which l fled from the inundated rural sections of north China. More than 50,000 refu- gees from outside points have already applied for assistance.
 II The American Red Cross has appro- | priated $50,00O for immediate relief l work and the American troops in l Tientsin, under command of Colonel Sigerfoos. are in charge of a model
 camp which will accommodate 5000 refugees. This camp was built in few
 days under the direction of Roger s. Greene, the director in China of tho Rockefeller Foundation. It consists of ! 1000 model one-room huts, each of
 which is capable of housing a family of five. Relief camps have been has
 tily erected in various dry sections of
 the city, but most of these can be used only temporarily A general relief committee representing persons of all

 to coordinate the relief work. \ The Chinese government set aside
