The fatalism of the natives has made futile the inadequate relief which crew f foreign gunboats have been able to extend. The survivors know that it will be perhaps a month before the flood subsides although there were indications today of siigbt recession and that there will be no food this winter. Hence, they say, they are ready to die now, rather than starve in the cold of the coming months. The dreaded outbreak of epidemic came just as relief officials had com pleted arrangements for inoculation of at least 100,000 persons against cholera. The equipment and roedkine is pitifully meager, but the commis sion has worked desperately under handicaps.
