Good Rooms for Rent. how terrible it might prove to be was conjecture. In its realization progress of the famine has been more rapid, more awful, than the most pessimistic could have conceiy- ed, and India,. with the famine days not half over, is face to face with the greatest famine of a century. The 30,000,000 has grown until 50,000,- 000 are in trouble. The 300,000 on re- lief work have multiplied into 3,750,- 000, and those who are now seeking these centers of work are not strong men and women seeking employment but swarms of living skeletons to be counted by the thousands. They have waited until the last possible source of food hws vanished, and with starving bodies, naked frames and in almost dying condition are making their way to these relief camps, to die on the way or to die at the camp, or to eet there just in time to save their-lives by the food given them in charity. And their wives and chil- dren, who knows? Families have been broken up, children abandoned, or else as families of living skeletons somehow make their way over the miles of foodless, waterless plains to these centers. Four months still re- main before the usual rain can be of any value to the people. It requires no prophet to prophsey that in this period the heart of humanity will be staggered by. the awful tales that will come across the sea. The govern- ment faces the alarming possibility of this fifty millions soon twenty-five per cent will be on their hands for support, and before the rains well on towards one-half. And then the far- ther problem that when the rain does come who is to furnish them with the seed? And how are they to till the soil with their cattle dying off as they are today by the hundred thouands? Does America realize that, if the government of Itidia should for one week withdraw its work of saving life, 3,000,000 human beings would be lying dead, poison- ing the air, for there would be none to bury them? The relief camps are the very last possible resorts of the people. They have struggled on on one meal a day, then shave lived on wild fruit; they have pawned every- thing they possessed; their bodily strength has gone in the struggle for self and wife and children, and now, as living skeletons, they make their final effort on their ability to get to the distant camp. Such is the sad condition today, and the wail of this humas ery of hunger and nakedness, and the moans gf the living skeletons —mothers separated from children, and chidren dying abandoned or dy- ing in their arms—this cry is ascend- ing to heaven, and where are our American hearts of sympathy that they do not swell into a great stream our gifts to help a pation in her woe?
