CHINESE IN DIRE STRAITS
American Woman Tells Of Terrible
Conditions in the Country's Fam
Inc Stricken Districts.

TT was like sending my husband
OF to war, when saw him depart for
service in the famine distrICt-Out OF
reach Of the ordinary comforts Of life,
and four days away from doctor,
writes Mrs. Guy l.. Sarvis, from Nan
king, China, to the American commit
tee for China famine fund. Mr.. Sar-
Wis, dean of the college of arts in the
University of Marking, was recently
excused from his academic duties to
take charge Of famine relief under the
international commission In a large
area near Tamingfu.
Almost as dangerous as war are the
conditions of life I'm the famine re-
gions. according to reports OF mis-
slOnarles 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 which
cholera, typhus and many other mala-
dies must inevitably result, may be
imagined from Mrs. Sarvis' description
Of a village as 1t 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 IL
because most of the people are stay
ing In bed to save their strength. The
pangs Of hunger are less painful II
they do not try 10 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 go out once
In while, sometimes in 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, wOrn-oIt 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 hollOwed-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 tes-
titution are everywhere, instead VI in
