$4,000 CHINESE DIE Il
HUDDLED IN FIELD, ]
DECLARES AMERICkK

New York. Feb. 22.-ThtrtI thousand
Chinese gathered on a great hare fDto,
outside Tientsin, China, waited paf1e0oyy
for food which never arrived and tne
slowly died there. Z. S. Glines, an -A1Defs5
lean engineer, reported upon hts axftS34
in New York after passing six months -
the famine stricken areas OF nortA
China. n
Tho condition Of the starving hnr0A
was so pitiful, Mr. Gftnes said, thA2
"eh did not have the heart to take photo-
graphs of such misery" He sa7d tna1
the crowd at Tientsin had gathered. bl-
cause they believed food would reod
them there more quickly than In ~
country. Along a roadside near thet
field, he told Of seeing the bodies OF -
whole family-father, mother and 1fv~
children-each few yards 6parS
where they had dropped and died
THE crop failures have been almost
complete in the five great provinces th4t
make UP the northern part OF China
proper-Chihil, Shantung, Shansi, SheR-
81 and Honan," said Mr.. Glines. This
is the part Of the country around Pekfnl
south of Mongolia and Manshuria."
Explaining why the sections Of China
not stricken by famine were unable to-
relieve the starvation districts. Ar.-
Glihcs said: China is largely an aEri-
cultural nation. Ninety per cent Of the
population lives on tn" tiny farms into
which the country is divided. The
Chinese work their land 10 the limit, but
they cannot raise more than enough TO
feed themselves. Each district can raises
barely enough food to support it's. own
people That is why tn" prosperous,
provinces have been able TO do SO little
for the famine stricken onea- They
have not the food to send"
