CHINESE IN DIRE STRAITS
Conditions in the Country's FAM
ine-Stricken Districts.

1T was like sending my husband
off to war, when l saw him depart Tor

and four days away from a DOCTOR

take charge of famine relief under the
international commission in large
area near Tamingfu.
Almost as dangerous as war are the
conditions of life in the famine re-
gions, according to reports OF mis-
sionaries and travellers, and with the
coming of spring, the perils from dis
ease are greatly increased.
Something Of the conditions under
which the natives have lived during
the winter months, and from Whlch
cholera, typhus and many other mala-
dies must inevitably result, may De
imagined from Mrs. Sarvis' description
of village as it usually appears dur
ing the famine:
Entering the villages one sees lit
tie to indicate that anything Unusual
Is happening. Everything is very
quiet. Streets are deserted. This Is
because most of the people are stay
ing in bed to save their strength. The
pangs of hunger are less painful If
they do not try to get up and around.
"Often there is but one outfit OF
clothing (and that not any too COM
plete) in any one household. That is
worn by the member of the family
who finds it necessary to 60 out once
In while, sometimes in a vain effort
to obtain food. Infants and young
children often have no clothes at all,
but are kept in bed or wrapped in
pieces of the old, WORKOUT clothing
of their elders.
"Many families tear their houses
down, room by room, and use the tim
bers for fuel. When they have no
house left, they retire to rude sort
Of holIowed-out cave in the ground.
"There is nothing startling or pic
turesque, as in the case of floods, fires,
and large concentration camps but
that only means that want and des-
titution are everywhere, instead OF in
conspicuous places"

BIRDS AS STREET CLEANERS
Vultures Employed for the Purpose in

Garbage collectors IN Costa RIGA en-

lows:
II was awakened on the first morn

rounds. Ahead of his open wagon

tanning the chastened demeanor of I'M
dertakers at an open grave, Behind
the wagon walked half dozen other
vutures similarly sedate. And around
the rim of the cart, perched in SOL

of the same species and same somber
hue. | would fain have immortalized
the scene, but the camera, alas, wasn't

much to be desired in other respects,

ANCIENT AND MODERN ROME
World-F famous Buildings Occupy
Sacred Sites in the Old Capital
of the World"

Ancient Rome was built on the hills
south of the River Tiber. Tradition
regarded the Palatine as the site Of
Romulus' Urbs Quadrata. Excavations
have brought to light remains Of
earlier settlement and prehistoric
metropolis. The capitoline was the
center of republican and imperial
Rome. One of the principal ancient
monuments is Hadrian's mausoleum,
which, as the castle of st. Angelo, was
the citadel of medieval Rome. West
of this stood Caligula's circus in which
Nero tortured the Christians; it's site
is now occupied by st. Peters, the chief
shrine of Roman Catholicism, reputed
to be the largest church in the world,
occupying $4,000 square yards and
measuring 435 feet in its highest part.
North of st. Peters is the Vatican
palace, which covers 1919 acres and
comprises over 1000 halls, chapels and
rooms. The pantheon, built by Agrip-
pa in q B. G. and restored by Hadrian,
is said to be the best preserved ancient
building in the city.

Pueblo, Colo.-Systematic and dras-
tic action to ascertain the number of
dead and to clean the city of Pueblo,
tlood-stricken for three days, was be-
gun. Acting under military authority,
rJIieutenant Colonel Paul p. Newton
ordered every able-bodied man to ap-
ply himself to the task of removing
debris from the streets as a measure
to prevent fire and pestilence. The
order bars sightseers from the city and
makes work compulsory, either for tn ;
stipulated pay or under military guard,
without pay. The city has been d.
vided into eight wards for a sanitary
survey, and to each ward has been as
signed two physicians and four nurses.
The inhabitants are being instructed
how to prevent and combat disease
and infection.
Three isolation hospitals have been
established, and DR.. John G. Cornell,
of the United States Public Health
Service at Denver, who is assisting DR..
w. e. Buck, City Health Officer, de-
clared the situation was well in hand.
DR.. Cornell said there was no epidemic
of contagious diseases now and that
only five cases of chicken poX had been
reported to the authorities since the
flood. Volunteer physicians from Col
orado Springs and 16 from the Public
Health Service at Denver are aiding
Pueblo physicians.
Recovery of bodies is progressing
slowly since searchers are impeded by
the slowly receding waters and by the
great coating of mud over every. cot
lection Of debris. A careful check by
the Associated Press showed ~ bodies
in morgues. To this list were added 10
more when a reporter for a Pueblo
newspaper made his way from st.
Charles Mesa, six miles down stream,
to report the number of bodies recov-
cred there.

Line the LinoIeum.

When purchasing linoleum for the
floor it is a good idea to order a lin
ing of felt. This precaution will
probably prolong the use Of the lin
oleum. 1t also deadens sound and
makes the floor warmer in winter. 1t
prevents the linoleum from expanding
or contracting and it gives softer
tread, all advantages worth consider
ing.

BLAZE THREATENS
 PINE BLUFF BLOCK

Pine Bluff, Dec. 22.-Fire yester- day caused loss of approximately $S,0O0, partially covered by in surance, in the Bell tailoring es- tablishment at 209 Main street, and the clothing store of l.. Davis, next door. The blaze was discovered in the rear of the tailor shop and quickly spread to the clothing store, which was soon mass of flames.
 Quick work of the fire depart ment prevented the spreading of the flames, although the De Luxe cafe, which is just north of the Bell establishment and the Pollack store, south of the fire, and of fees on the upper floor of the build ing, were filled with smoke, but little damage was done.
 Several tailored suits which were |awaiting Christmas delivery in the Bell tailor shop were destroyed, as well as quantity of ready-made clothing. The blaze is believed to have been caused from a small gas Istove in the tailor shop.
 This is the second fire in this block in the past few months. The De Luxe cafe was badly damaged
 by fire last summer, caused from ar explosion of gasoline in pressing shop on the second floor.

Harrison, Dec. 21.-Two masked bandits held up customers and off cials of the Bank of North Arkansas at Everton, about IT miles south east of here, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, robbed the bank of $4,0OO in cash and, eluding a hastily form ed posse, escaped in the hills. A third man stood in the street, just outside the bank, during the rob- bery and held three horses on which the robbers escaped.
 There were five customers in the bank at the time.

(By The United Press)

New York, Dec. 19.-Special arm ed guards on duty at the New York Stock Exchange, the Sub-Treasury and other buildings in the financial district, while Wall Street is on tip toe in expectation of another bomb outrage.
 According to an anonymous let ter received by Charles Morgan, a banker, the stock exchange and an area extending for five blocks around, is to be dynamited today.
 Not since the bomb explosion in the financial district on September 16, 1920, has there been such an extensive guard on duty there.
 The warning letter was received last Monday by MT. Morgan. Nor gan was urged by his anonymous iinformer to leave the city before the stock exchange was destroyed on Dec. 19
 'I don't believe there is any need for worry about this letter." said Deputy Police Commissioner Shaw. But we always take precautions when we get a warning of this kind'
 The postmark of the letter was blurred. but police believe the let ter came from New Jersey.
 MT. Morgan immediately turned the letter over to an agent of the United States Department of Jus tice immediately upon it's receipt. A large staff of detectives and members of the bomb squad were as- |signed to trailing the letters au- thor The letter follows: "This is la warning to you that the stock exchange and everything in ra- ldius of five blocks will be blown up lby bomb on December 19.'

DEMANDS ARE
 OPPOSED BY
 UNITED
Top-Heavy of Allotment of Submarines or Other Aux- iliary Craft to France Is Fought.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The Amer ican arms delegation is opposed to granting France top-heayy aiiot- ment of submarines or other auXli- iary craft, and will also reject Great Britain's plea for abolition or submarines. Undaunted by these facts, news which emanates from responsible American sources says that the British and French are pro coeding with plans for pressing their desires on these points.
 Hope Of reaching complete agreement op limitation of naval armament before Christmas now ap- pears extremely doubtful.
 The only obstacles remaining are the French demand for big allot- ment of auxiliary craft and the Brit ish desire that submarines be abol- ished Considerable discussion on these points is expected.
