Starvation Destroying Thousands in China. Late Reports From an American Observer. Chil- Last to Die. Reports from China received at the national headquarters of the Red Cross within the last few days state that the famine is now at its most acute stage. During the next six weeks while the new crops are ripen- ing the need for relief will be most intense. At present the relief com- mittee is employing about 90,000 men | on public works and the earfnings of these men are saving probably 500,- 000 persons from starvation. Mean- while, certainly 2,000,000 are suffer- ing and many thousand must die un- less the relief measures are greatly extended. Mr. Charles W, Harvey of the Y. M. . A. of Tientsin, made a recent journey through the famine districts and at the request of United States Minister Calhoun, at Peking, pre- pared a report of his observations. The character of this report whicn has been forwarded to the State de- partment and is now in the hands oi the Red «ross, may be indicated by quoting briefly from its contents. *No children were scen at play. No grain, meat, vegetables or foodstufls of any kind except the bark of trees, dried grass, wild garlic and roots were seen. We found no sign of cloth- ing anywhere, except the rags on the backs of the people,” no bedding, # * few farming implements, nothing that could possibly be turned into money except an occasional piece of furniture and the doors of the houses or rafters in the thatched roofs. In many places we noted the absence of doors in the homes and saw the mud walls of houses stripped of roofs which we soon found had been used for fuel or'exchanged for food. +On the first morning out of Ching % Will please have same at the Red|gjungpu we met a man pushing a Cross Pharmacy in the morning be- fore 9 o'clock, and Mrs, R. R. Sul- livan will take all such donations to the family. ———— Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Swatts and children left last night for various points in Georgia, where they will visit relatives for ten days.
