NEW YORK. Mar. 5. A graph
Sc description of famine scenes in -China.
an explanation of their
cause and outline of methods of
lelief is giren by Charles DaTls
Jameson, mho has been civil en
gineer in China t-ince 1695 and
for the last ten years has been
connected with the Department
of Famine Relief and Flood Coi
trol of the Chinese government.
"silent panic" spreads rapidly
over the famine-stricken area
when the peopl lealize their dan
ger of starvation, says Mr. Jame
son. "All the people, when hun-
j per sets in and the food is all gone
are vanuenns not to any detinue
point, but to any place which
changes the scene of their misery,"
he adds. "Business is at once
paralyzed. When I last passed
through a famine district, there
was not a cart of any kind In the
toads or streets. Not a mule nor
u horse nor a wheel barrow was
seen in motion. Not a coolie was
encountered going to or from mar
Vet. It was as if a great fear
were' over the whole country, and'
the people were holding their
breath and listening and waiting
for a horror. None but the starr
ing or sick are seen In the streets
at such a time. Famine fever and
typhus soon break out in every
town and city.
"Outside the walls of these

where, sometimes with a few be
longings which they cannot sell
Some may carry bowls or baskets
containing leaves, twigs, straw or
bark from the trees. Nearly e
ry tree is stripped of Its bark and
dying. The people walk until they
can walk no more and then sit
down and die.
."Not a day goes by but one
passes, bodies in the highways or
at the roadsides and the fields
men, women, children and babies.
Over the fields and along - the
roads prowl starving . dogs that
tjnee . more are . fierce wolves
gaunt, .hungry, savage devour
ing what lies in their way. In
some instances men and women,
insane, fight with the dogs for
food. And once one of these dogs
is, killed, he is at once eaten by
man or dog."
The natural causes of famine
in China are droughts and floods,
Mr. Jameson says. South of the
Yang-tze river famines are rare as
the rainfall is fairly regular but
north of the river the country is
classed as semi-arid and the rain
fall is subject to great variations.
Sometimes the rain Is so heavy
that the grain is beaten flat on
the ground, and large areas left
nuder water. The harvest is lost,
land becomes sodden and no crops
are possible until the next year.
What is not actually under water
becomes one vast swamp.
More thin four-fifths of the
transportation of China Is accom
plished by hundreds of thousands
of two-wheeled carts, pack camels.
mules, horses, donkeys, men.
wheel barrows and boats along the
great rivers and canals.
Mr. Jamesson asserts that the
calamity that has now fallon upon
millions of Chinese is due to no
lack of industry for they are the
most remarkable farmers in the
world," although their methods
and tools are much the same as
those used in Egypt in the time of
Moses. The people live a hand-to-mouth
existence and a failure of
crops one year means underfeed
ing. Two years of bad crops brings
starvation and worse.
Combinations of men, women
and draft animals pull the plows
used in cultivating the soil. The
crops are reaped by hand and
threshed on the earth floor in the
open. The straw is stacked for
use as fuel or food and the grain
is ground between millstones
moved by men, women or donkey
power. Old men and women spin
the cotton with distaff and spin
dle. Their houses are of one-story
with twoi or three rooms built of
sun-dried bricks, with a clay floor
and thatched roof and windows
covered with paper.
It is essential that relief work
should get under way as soon as
possible owing to the. extreme
slowness of transportation, Mr.
Jameson points out. Rice and
grain are shipped up the rivers
and overland and then distributed
by Chinese relief committees
formed in the towns and villager
to forward food and clothing. In
this work the missionaries ' lend
efficient aid. he says.
The famine areas of Chihli and
Shantung, are relatively easy of
access but in the less accessible
provinces of Shansi. where the
famine area is widerpread. he pre
dicts that the suffering and deaths
will be appalling and the number
ot fatalities may run into the mil
lions. In Chihli and Shantung,
the conditions are said to "beg
gar decsrlption." Describing the
present situation, Mr. Jamawon
says:
"This is the second year and the
people have no food or money.
They have sold their belongings
for a few cents. There Is no food
or credit and the land is being

SOME people don't like me be

for Harding to advertise his poli

cars, or for banks to advertise for :

it is something awful! ,
Of course, I don't look at advertising that
4 way. I think It is a.good thing for the pub- .,

when the prices for it arc so reasonable. I
