CHINESE FLOOD
DEATH TOLL TO
NEAR 100000
ReSCuerS Hampered as
Thousands Refuse to
Accept Aid.
BY WILFRED LING
United Press stan Correspondent

HANKOW, China, Aug. "a
Thousands of Chinese who believed
they had angered the dragon god of
the Yangt1e awaited death today in
the yellow waters of the river or
from cholera.
Firm in their belief that the
dragon god intended to unleash the
power of the mighty stream until
it had swept over Hankow, WI
chang, and Hanyang and washed
the cities to the altar of sacrifice,
the Chinese looked solemnly at res
cue parties and refused to be re-
moved to safety.
The river dragon temple was de-
molished recently. So the river
dragon must have revenge. And
the refugees waited, on roof tops,
on makeshift RATS, some on tops of
collins the flood had swept from
their resting places.
Millions Are Destitute
A week ago they fought for scraps
of food. Today they awaited death.
Famine and disease followed the
flood and took up the trail of death
where the river dragon had been
merciful. White men and Chinese
officials estimated that the death
toll would reach 100000 before
Christmas. The number of destitute
already has reached millions.
Officials of the Standard Oil
Company who dispatched airplanes
over the flood area said that $4,000
square miles lay beneath the yellow
torrents in Hupeh province and o.
600 square miles in Human province.
Destitute were estimated at 5,000,-
600 and 100000 respectively.
Heroic efforts were made to re-
lieve the refugees and save them
from epidemics. Conditions in
refugee camps, pitifully over
crowded, presented apparently in
surmountable obstacles.
Many Streets Wiped Out
Rescue parties aboard junks and
sampans offered fresh water to
refugees perched upon RATS or
house tops The water was re-
fused. The Chinese drank from the
food water in which corpses and
carcasses f1oated. The heat became
unbearable, adding to the suffering.
Many native streets were wiped
out by the collapse of buildings. In
the swirling water of the flood,
bodies pinned beneath debris often
we're liberated and suddenly pro-
jected to the surface, to float with
other victims of the dragon god.
Power plants in the flood area
were inundated. Night brought i'm
penetrable darkness. Survivors,
able to bear the suffering of intense
heat during the day, became panic
stricken when night brought the
fear that the flood might engulf
them before dawn.
Walls and screams of sufferers,
of mothers holding dead babies to
their breasts, penetrated the night
in thousand cries rising to cres-
cendo of agony. But rescuers were
helpless.
Realizing that when the flood re-
cedes it will take with it all their
crops, the survivors seem to prefer
death Immediately to the suffering
and starvation of a long winter.

tied windows of virtually all west

Socialist Cafeteria
There's an expatriated Russiat
in this town who is a craftsman ~
wonderful furniture. He sells K
Mrs. Payne Whitney and Others
who do not have to look at tht
price tag. Few of those who dea
with him know whether he is fol
or against the Soviet.
The other day, however, we hap.
pened to drop in on him around ths
lunch hour and he invited us to his
own particular Sovietized cafeteria
located on East 10th Street. HI
explained to us that it was differ
ent. That it catered largely to the
"mlddle-class."
1t was a revelation. The food
was better prepared, of greater
variety and the prices were about
the same as at most cafeterias above
the level of the "one-armcd" food
places. Most of the patrons had {
distinctly artistic look, like painter:
and artists.
One novel feature of the place
was the fact that the customers
picked up their trays and litter after
eating and carried them to shelf
behind which dish-washers were
busy. Just one more step in self
, service.
Run on COOPERATIVE Plan
The socialist cafeteria, we found,
is owned by the diners themselves.
They pay their checks in the regu-
lar way, except that they write their
number on it. At the end of the
year the profits are distributed
among the owners in proportion to
the amount of patronage they have
given the place.
Outsiders are permitted to eat
there but do not get any "divi-
lends" at the end of the year.

To which Mr.. Walsh replied today:
This sentence seems to be open to

its duty and exhausting its authority
with respect to the improvement Of

thereon. possesses additional authority
over the development and disposal of

THE assumption of such authority

amount to a denial of the sovereign
