The Chinese famine, if not averted
by American relief, will develop into
the greatest calamity in history. with
a minimum of 100000 dead. The
World War cost 17,5O00,000 lives; the
Irish famine of 1916 killed 100000 per-
sons. The Indian famine Of 1866 took
a toll of 1,4JO, 900. Even the great Chi
nese famine Of 1878, with 100000
deaths, does not equal the present peril.
