was defeated by Paddon, who subse-
quently lost to Barry on the Thames.

Thirty MILLIONS IN
CHINA ARE STARVING
international Committee Endeav-
oring to Raise Funds to Buy
Foodstuffs and Clothing.

Pekin.-American missionaries and
business men in the provinces of Allie
CARTS, Chihli. Honan and Shantung
have reported to the American legation
that the famine area extends from Pao-
tingfu southwark 800 miles, covering
10000 square miles, and that more
than 100000 people are affected.
The famine belts crop is 90 per cent
below normal. American. British and
Chinese eyewitnesses state that many
already are dead and dying. The
family elders are poisoning their
wives and children with arsenic to
avoid a death by starvation. A con-
servative estimate of the relief funds
required is s2O0.OO0,OO0.
The government Is not active and
also Is unable to adequately cope with
the situation, while the provincial rail-
way, military and civil authorities al
ready are obstructing the transit of
foodstuffs from the fertile to the fam
ine-stricken districts, advancing as rea-
sons the military necessity, local food
requirements and the internal revenue
regula tons.
Foreign Chinese observers agree that
adequate relief is possible only through
the medium of an international loan
for destined river conservation and ir-
rigation, the reforestation Of the strick-
en- provinces and giving food as wages
for the employment of local peasants.
For preventing and counteracting fu-
ture floods and droughts the loan could
be spent with foreign cooperation and
supervision of the reclaimed land, the
improved crops being adequate securI-
ty for the loan.
In Pekin the American, British and
French communities Will meet to form
an international committee, later in
Guiding representatives Of the Chinese.
The purpose is > raise funds TO buy
