years and could not eat vegetables or

Cast Into Rivers by Their

Others Deserted in Streets

PEKlNG. Nov. Is tby maiu.-Thc
area and extent of the famine situa,
ton in China recently has been
brought out n number of reports
reaching here. The region chiefly
affected extends east and west from
the Gulf Of Chihli to Han-chlnga, in
Shensl, and north and south from Mon
golia to Shang- ching, in Honan.
Forty-two years ago China was swept
by memorable famine, in which
millions Of persons perished from cold
and hunger. In 1873, however, condi-
tlons were less serious than at pres
ent for at that time wheat crop
preceded the drought, whereas to-day,
due to two years lack of rainfall, only
limited areas have produced even the
scantiest yields.
The reports have told how the trees
OF entire districts have been stripped
OF their leaves for use as food. The
starving people mix them with milIet
chatf. clover or weeds, with a minimum
of grain, and bake them into cakes
which resemble clay. Thousands of
refugees who are endeavoring to
migrate afoot from the famine areas
ere said to be living on such food" "
hoping TO reach the more fortunate
cities and towns, where they may pos
sibly purchase necessaries of life
Extraordinary means to obtain money
for food are reported from all sec
tons of the FIVE provinces. Little
children are found deserted in the
streets and many have been rescued
from the rivers into which they have
been cast by their Impoverished par
ents.
The sale Of children is often re-
ported, much despised girl babies be-
ing offered for sums as low as dollar

Reports from numerous points In the
famine area which il is estimated will
require s200,o00ooo worth of the plain
est food to avert the greatest loss Of
life, have been received as follows:

North India Mill baby stolen and reared
by a leopard, according to the Calcutta
correspondent Of The London Morning
Post.
Stuart Baker. when in che village
of Dhungi, in the Cachar Hills, on

fronted in the local courthouse wl.h
protests from a certain native that he
was unable to do his share of loo al

his little wild son would run away 60

Mr.. Baker visited the mans hut TO
see the wild child" and found there
a boy Of about seven, naked, who ran
about on all fours like small animal.
At the sight of the strangers the child

Subterranean River Made
Peoria a Whisky Center

PEORIA, Ill, Dec 24.--Flowing at
some depth beneath the residence and
business section of Peoria is a large
subterranean river, the existence of
which made Peoria the biggest whisky
distilling center in the country in pre-
prohibition days
The stream, which flows st right
angles beneath the Illinois River at the
edge of Peoria, is of unknown volume.
More than dozen wells sunk through
the bottom of the upper river by dis
tilleries to tap the subterranean body
Of water have failed to diminish the
flow at the lower stream
From these wells comes . water of
unusual warmth and softness, and it is
this water that drew the larges. dis.
tillery in the world to Peoria, as well
as several smaller ones. Practically
free from acid and alkali, the water re-
CURED no special treatment before be-
ing fit for whisky distillation purposes.
For this reason distilleries were en-
abled to operate here at lower produc-
tlon costs than elsewhere and Peoria's
corn grind" for the liquor made here
became the greatest in the country.

HALF FACTORIES IN NORTH FRANCE
 NOW WORKING 
30,O0O Plants, Employing SOO,O0O, Razed and
 Looted

Lille, Jan. 1.---Production has been resumed in about half the factories of northern France, where the outbreak of the war paralyzed indsutry and where battles ragged for four years Of this number, however, about 13 per cent. have been at work only a month. Figures examined today by the correspondent of The Associated Press, who is visiting the war zone under a special dispensation of the government, showed that in this re- zion 30,000 plants, employing SOO,000 workers, were razed by gun fire, loot ed, or badly d1sorganized.
 There has been a notable increase in the resumption of plants, especially those turning out textiles, during the last few weeks, but it is estimated it will take three years for the majority of the principal trades such as glass making wood working and sugar re- fining to resume production on a nor
 nal scale. Large mechanical plants
 such as the locomotive works at Val
 eneinnes and the coal mines about Lens will be under a handicap for a longer time, and it is believed ter years must elapse beforea5fun speed ahead will be possible.
 Machinery and equipment weighing about GOO tons have been returned fro Germany.
