Rev. f. Y. Mullins, Chairman Of the
China Famine Fund, Louisville, by
Charles r. Crane, American minister
at Picking.
Conditions are unspeakably aw-
full" he writes, MAY God grant that
I may never have to see another fam
inc. To see about you thousands Of
people with pinched faces and a look
of despair, to have old men clutch
you and beg for help, and little chill
dren wall out their cry for bread and
to have to turn away from them-it's
hell.
Family life is being destroyed in
thousands Of cases where the chill
dren have been sold or the men have
left home to hunt work. One cannot
understand famines until he has seen
them in all their horror. The suffer
ing among these people is more than
our people at home can realize or
even picture in their minds.
with each day there are increas-
ing hundreds of people who reach
the limit of their resources.
Little children have Tong since
disappeared in the worst affected
famine districts. The grey days are
here when whole families, unable to
continue the pitiful struggle, lie
down and die. The terrible truth is
that millions are perishing."
Helen Dizney, our own representa-
tive at Shansi, China, says tina;
mothers are throwing their children
to the wolves which surround the
compound in sheer desperation.
In response to this need the China
Famine Fund will sell China Life

We find it bewilders us more.
For Dodge's is back in the garden,
And Hunting's is quite out Of sight,
The Todd House resembles a bee

And the Frosts We'll never get

And yet, mid this general chaos

Exchanging turnout all the ages
Berea's old spirit yet stands.
AS helpful and hopeful as ever,
As loyal to rich and to poor,
As long as her spirit is changeless
Berea will flourish, we're sure.

And here's to her still grander future,
For we know she has come here

Extensions.

Immediate merger of the District

purpose of decreasing the carfareI
to cents and extending the railway
lines to the more remote sections
of the city, was favored by two cit

p1ished through the merger of the
two companies" declared Washing

To Vets.

Sharp criticism of the efforts 70
maintain strict military discipline
in the hospitals for former service
men was voiced, yesterday before
the House Subcommittee on War
Risk.
Taking issue with Col C. H
Forbes. new director of the War
Risk Bureau, who last week de-
Tended military discipline in the
hospitals, DIR. Thomas Salmon de-
clared "the way to maintain morale
in hospitals for former service men
is not by military discipline"
Col. Abel Davis. chairman of the
American Legion disqualification
Committee. Joined in this criticism.
He declared that he has become
convinced that the chief difficulty
of the public health service in its
treatment of disabled soldiers is
the fact that it is a semi military
organization
He told the committee that under
the present system it was impos-
sible 80 obtain the best medical
talent, because to give a specialist
rank commensurate with his ability
might put him above some regular
army oficer, and thereby cause
