BY VAUGHN KING

LOURENCO MARQUES, Portu- gese East Africa, July 25-Delayed- Hongkons, once the "opulent Pearl of the Orient" has been reduced to a ghost town since the Pacific explosion in December.
 Some million Chinese have been starved to such a point that the whole town has wraithlike ap- pearance.
 The Four Horsemen riding rough shod over the once smiling Riviera of the Far East now, famine, pesti- lence, aud destruction of physical and moral values, stalk the former British crown colony.
 The Jap conquerors are realizing the inci easing gravity of the in ternal situation and are doing their utmost to evacuate the poorer Chin csc residents to country districts. But they are unable to remove a sufficiently large number in time to cheat death.
 It is estimated thus far that half a million have left of their own volition or from compulsion.
 The isolation of Hongkong Island through the rupture of all the for mer trade routes, including those fruits and vegetables from tho mainland, have caused famine-like condition. Rice costs eight times it's former price and many other commodities are ten or twenty times as costly as they were.
