small as compared with the suffering
which occurred in 1S45, 1916 and
1S47, when the entire potato crop of
the land rotted. During these years
the deaths from starvation and dis
ease superinduced by lack of proper
nourishment ran into hundreds of
thousands. Although both America
and Great Britain were prompt in
their relief work the population of

eight millions in 1S45 to less than five
millions today.
During the Franco-Prussian War

sold as food and at such prices as

in a starving condition. The distress,
however, was relieved by foreign ma.
lions in a short time.
China, India And Russia
China has been prey to famines
for centuries, usually caused by inun,
dations which ruin the crops. That
country is so densely populated that
hundreds can die without being
missed. They are fatalists and when
pestilence comes they will spend their
last coin for rice and even sell their
daughters into slavery for mere pit
lance, but they will not riot for food

the great Chinese famine of 19o6-1907

and when found in the crowd near
the forum he was killed by an officer
of the guard.
Pestilence, war and famine were
brought to Rome by the Gauls some
fifty years later For time the Ro-
mans held the citadel in the face of
hunger after the city had been de-
stroyed- The invaders failed to bury
the dead and disease spread through
the camps of both the siegers and the
sieged.
About 90, B. c., Rome had another
famine caused by the overflow of the
River Tiber and Augustus Caeser be-
came the pioneer in relief work He
is said to have sent his grandson to
collect food at various ports on the
Mediterranean and then fed the poor
free of charge. He attempted to guard
against future disasters by building
good roads and ships whereby sup
plies could be brought in quickly in
case of famine. During the ten years
period between Is, A. D., and So,
A. D., famine swept over Italy dur
ing which thousands of persons died
each day despite the facilities for
bringing in food. There was also a
great earthquake during which Pom
peii and Herculaneum were buried
beneath lava and ashes. Africa and
Syria suffered from famine about the
same time when locusts came in great
numbers and destroyed what little
crops had been saved. A disease SO
dreadful accompanied the famine that

lures even refused to feed on the dead

the winter. From~1030 to 1882 there
were no crops raised and people died
of starvation by the thousands and
remained unburied because the living
were too weak to perform this office
Human flesh was found on the market
stalls but this was too expensive for
the poor people who lived upon roots,
grass and clay. The forest wolves be-
came so hungry that they came into
villages and devoured the helpless
people and it seemed that France was
doomed, but when the fields once
more blossomed with grain the people
took courage and for a time food was
abundant, then came the Crusades
when an attempt was made to drive
the Mohammedans out of the Holy
Land, and during the first crusade
famine and plague caused the death
of about 100000 persons in one year.
During the thirteenth century both
England and France suffered serious
ly from a scarcity of food and about
the middle of the fourteenth century
the Black Death, a dread disease i'm
ported from China, swept over both
countries and carried off thousands,
and both lands were upset by revolu-
! tons and riots. Just before the French
Revolution excessive taxation, brought
about by the extravaganza of the
French Court and the failure of the
crops caused 4 famine in that country
and riots were frequent. Madame de
Maintenon was accused of specializing
in corn and her carriage was mobbed
by a hungry crowd who were trying

for, however difficult life may be at
this time, it is inspiring to realize
that we are taking an active part in
its making. It is my firm belief that
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs is a more intensely active or
ganization than any other in the
world, and that its complete organiza-
ton makes it one of the most efficient
working war organization OF women
in the country.
Connections Made By Federation With
The National Government
While the women's clubs of the
country are endeavoring to carry on
their normal club work in a normal
way, the General Federation has made
connection in nearly every one of its
departments sof work with the Ma
the whole federation is placing itself
solidly behind the Federal Children's
Bureau in its intensive child welfare
campaign which was inaugurated on
April 6. The topic, "The Children's
Year of 1872 with its program of
work outlining the saving of 100000
of the 100000 American babies who
die every year, is to be given one full

in connection with camp work. Wash

ing closely with the National Commit
tee on Training Camp Activities in
keeping the towns clean and moral
looking after the environments OF

The Minnesota Federation takes the
lighter view of soldier life. and at
recent Federation meeting it urged the
clubs of the State to supply mapdolins
guitars zithers, and especially 'phono-
graphs in abundance. In referring to
this branch of the Federation work
an officer, on his way to France, said:
"Give the boys music, the best music
and all the music you can.
Rural Club Work =
While the work of the federated
clubs in the cities has been great, as
was to be expected, that in the coun-
try places has touched the high wa
ter mark in the splendid response
made by the thousands of small clubs
in the outlying country places
throughout every section of the coun-
try. These women's clubs in small
places have purchased many Liberty
Bonds and donated literally to the
Red Cross, to the Y. NJ. C. A. and
the Y. W. C. A
The State Secretary for Tennessee's
Federation of Clubs writes that
through the organization of federated
clubs in every part of Tennessee the
women of that State have been early
and late at their posts of duty as the
call for service of its women has gone
forth. The women of Tennessee stand
ready to help in any movement for the
betterment of the country and to as

From the Nevada Federation of

upon them and are always ready and
anxious to do more. Many aof our
clubs, especially in the smaller towns,
devote their entire meetings to Red
