famine CLAIMS
1000 DAILY IN
CHINA, REPORT
Fathers and Mothers Com
nit Suicide Rather Than
See Their Children Slow
" Starve to Death.

New York, Feb. 16.-Fathers
and mothers in some of the fam
stricken districts of China are
committing suicide rather than
watch their children starve to
death, says a report received at the
headquarters of the Methodist
board of foreign missions here
from Or. Ralph A. Ward, one OF its
missionaries in China.
"Multitudes flee from the food
less districts only to die of expo"
sure and hunger in distant cities
where rice lines are insufficient"
wrote DR.. Ward.
cable bodied men, old women
and children scramble over each
other in the streets in the rush for
a copper flung by a passerby.
Children are often crushed at sta
tons of food distribution"
DR.. Ward repeats the assertion
previously published that 1000
persons are dying daily in the
ADMINISTRATION district and adds;
More people face starvation in
China this winter than persisted on
the battlefields of the great war"
The Rev. Henry S. Leitzel, Meth
odist missionary at Sainfu, Shan
tung, wrote of visiting many viii
lagos where there was no signs Of
fuel or grain of any kind. There
was nothing but desolation," he
went on. "The people were sitting
around hopeless, discouraged and
listless They know there is moth
ing to do but starve and end the
struggle"
At least 10000 Chinese Chris
tinas are among the famine suf-
ferers, the Rev Lyman L. Hale,
reported in q letter. In many cas-
es, he said, whole church mem
berships have been hopelessly
scattered,
Officials of the missionary board
fear that the famine will greatly
retard the work of missionaries in
some areas where they have
gained a foothold only by years of
effort.

GLOW can the government de-
termine whether my income for
the year 1920 is taXable?"
This question, should it arise in
the mind of any person subject to
the income tax, is easily answered.
The bureau of internal revenue has
innumerable sources for checking
up delinquents. The Conformation
at source" provision of the reve-
nue. act, which requires that re-
ports be made of payments to 9TH
ers of $1,000 or more during the
taxable year, is only one of the
bureaus many avenues.
Each collector of internal reve-
nue. is required to post in his of
flee for public inspection imme-
diately following the close of the
income-tax paying period-March
Il, 1914 list of persons in his
district who have filed income
tax returns.
John Jones may have a grudge
against his neiehbor, Bill Smith.
Knowing that Bill Smiths income
was within the taxable list. he is
apt to note the omission, if it oc-
ours, and drop a note to the coll
lector.
In every collectors office, en-
ployes are assigned to the task Of
reading carefully the daily papers
and noting real estate and other
transactions involving payments.
Record is kept of all such trans
actions. The commission of inter
nal revenue and his assistants,
whose duty it is to see that the
revenue act is properly admins
tered have authority to examine all
books, papers, and memorandum
of taxpayers, and to examine I'M
der oath any persons having in
formation in the premises.
Should a person whose duty it
is to file a return fail in his obi
cation, he may expect. sooner or
later, to hear from the collector
of internal revenue. Penalties pro-
vided for delinquency are severe,

AGED SULTAN Of
JOKJOKARTA To
GIVE UP THRONE
One of the Two Powerful
PotentateS of the Dutch
East Indies Will Surrender
Office to Son.
(By The Associated Press)

The Hague, Feb. 16.-The aged
sultan of Jokjokarta, one of the
two powerful potentates of the
Dutch East Indies, has decided to
abdicate in favor of his eldest son.
the Crown Prince of Jokjokarta,
who has been trained in European
ways.
The crown prince has spent
months at the court of Queen Will
helmina and Dutch officials look
forward to his rule over the Mo-
hammedan natives with much ia
vor.
Before leaving for the West In
dies, few weeks ago, the young
man informed his father that he
would not take the sultan's throne
unless the abdicating potentate,
with his entire court, removed to
another town than Jokjokarta, and
the father consented, rather than
cause trouble.
While bolshevik agitators in the
East Indies have had much sue
cess in many sections of Java and
Sumatra, they have had very. lit
tie influence in Jokjokarta and the
new sultan is expected to main
tain this situation.
The sultan of Jokjokarta is vas
sal of the Dutch and has his head
quarters at Jokjokarta on the
southern side of the Island of
Java. Jokjokarta has a population
of about 10000. The su1tan's wa
ter palace or citadel is described
as the chief feature of the city. 1t
covers an area of about one square
mile and is small town by itself
with separate buildings for the oc-
cupancy of the women of the sui
tan's court and for workmen.
The sultan divides his authority
to a certain extent with a quasi
independent prince, Paku Alan.
