PEOPLE HAVE LOST HOPE Ho Animals to Plow Their Fields and No Seed to Sow. NEED OF BELIEF IS URGENT Money Contributed Will Be Used in Building Dikes to Prevent Fu ture Flood and Famine. "They have no seed to plant and no animals to do their plowing with; and this condition of affairs has pone on for so long that they have lost all desire for work: they simply want to lie down in the mud and die "There were people working1 on either side of the roadway, coming and going. These were all beggars and ail starving. A few years ago the majority of them had been successful farmers, 'but now they have absolutely nothing. There was not a day that T did not pass two or three bi^irtes men. women and children lying on t'*e roind. When the people got tired and gave up they simply dropped down where they wero and died; they did not go even to the raised track on the side, but dropped in the road, where they lay unburied. "I came acrost* the emaciated body of a young boy, five or .\lx years old. His throat had been cut frd^i ear to ear. and a picce of paper was pinned on him which stated that his father aj>d mother had nothine to give him to eat; and the chil dren of the village were standing around looking at the corpse." Applies to 3,000,000. These were some of the observations of C. 'D. Jameson, the Red Cross engineer, sent to inspect the famine district in China and to report on the possibility of flood prevention in the Hwai valley. The horror of the thing is that it applies to nearly 3,000,000 people, and unless out side relief is instantly forthcoming, he says, untold thousands of these must die before the scanty new crops that were planted after the flood of last year ean be ripened and gathered. Consul General Wilder, at Shanghai, has seconded Mr. Jameson's appeal in a letter directed to Miss Boardman of the Red Cross, in which he declares that bad as was the situation last year new ele ments have entered into it to make It worse, and to justify another appeal to the Red Cross and through it to char itable Americans. In the first place the new plan of the relief committee makes sure that the funds are to be expended in return for work under the plans of Mr. Jameson, and there will be no free distribution of food except to those in capacitated for work. Can Mitigate Flood Damage. Mr. Jameson has reported that the pre vention of damage by ordinary floods is possible, and that the building of proper dikes and the deepening of water courses would reclaim enormous quantities of i land and provide wprk for famine suf ferers. The building of roads would also furnish employment, and every dollar would be well spent Three dollars In gold will provide work for one family and save it from starvation for a month. Fifteen dollars will carry a family through until the barley harvest. Notwithstanding the ?rebellion, police and military protection Is assured for suffi cient area to work in at present, regard less of the faction In control. For over two months in Nanking from 400 to 800 men have been employed on useful work by the relief committee even during the bombardment of the city. A reassuring feature, according to Mr. Wilder, is that In the future the Chinese government itself will be in better con dition to take care of its own. 'The revo lution in part," he says, "traces to the inability of the old government to grapple with famine conditions. Whatever form the new government may take, the miti gation of famine will be a distinct feature of the program. Made Worse by Rebellion. "The present famine conditions are in extricably entwined, with the rebellion. Industry Is generally interrupted, shops closed more or less everywhere; there Is anarchy to a great degree and much loot ing and insecurity of possessions. It Is inevitable that within a few weeks the conditions will be very dreadfuL I can only say that one can hardly conceive our people not participating In the relief, pre sumably through the familiar Red Cross channel and by an appeal to the coun try. Perhaps we in China have not been able to impress on Washington the su preme nature of the extreme seriousness of the situation this winter." The above is the concluding paragraph of the consul general's appeal for help, seconded by Mr. Jameson with a state ment that from his own knowledge of the situation the horrible condition of the natives Is not overdrawn. The Red Cross has acted immediately and sent out an urgent appeal for contributions. Red Cross Makes an Apoeal for Help in Famine Relief In the face of urgent appeals from vari ous sources in China for means with which to give relief to the sufferers as a result of the revolution and famine, the American National Red Cross Society here is making every attempt to raise the $1, 000,000 needed to tide the stricken ones over until the next harvest. Within the past week $2,500 has been forwarded to the Shanghai famine relief committee from the Red Cross headquar ters here for use In relieving the present distressing conditions. This money, ac j cording to ttrnest P. Blcknell, national secretary of the Red Cross, is undoubted ly in response to the appeal sent out last November, to which up to this time there have been few replies. ? Expect Generous Response. However! it is the belief here that the American people, moved by the constant reports from reliable sources tliat the present conditions were unequaled before in the history of China, will come forward and give every assistance possible. The contributions are beginning to come in from all parts of the country, one even coming from a woman In Canada. It was for $700. Tho Red Cross officials are now anx iously awaiting to see what response will be made to the appeal Issued last Satur day night. If they are to judge from the responses beginning to come in from the appeal issued almost three months ago, they say, they are of opinion that the re plies will be quite generous. May Send Money Direct. ,While the Red Cross officials are de sirous of having the funds transmitted to China through its channels, they urge th'at If persons are Inclined to send money direct they should dispatch It to the (Shanghai committee, so as to avoid du plication In the distribution of relief. Thi committee is headed by Bishop Graves and Wu Ting-fang is vice chairman Other members of the board are Consul General Wilder at Shanghai, C. D. Jame son, the Red Cross engineer; several Eng lishmen and several Chinese. Conservative estimates received at the Red Cross place the amount needed tc tide the sufferers over until harvest time at $1,800,000, and It is suggested that $1,000,000 of this should come .from tht Piles Cared la ? to 14 Days.

Tuberculosis caused by far the largest proportion of deaths at each ten-year-age period, from ten to fifty years of age. Organic diseases of the heart consti tuted the most important cause of death at each age period between fifty and ninety years of ase, and also at the period of ninety years and over. Acute nephritis, Bright's disease, caused from 8.4 to 6.M per cent of the deaths at the ten-year age periods from ten to thir ty-nine years of age, but it increased to 9.5 per cent at forty to forty-nine years, advancing again to 11.7 per cent at fifty to fifty-nine years, still increasing to 12.1 per cent at sixty to sixty-nine years, then falling to 11.1 per cent at seventy to sev enty-nine years, decreasing again to 8.5 per cent at eighty to eighty-nine years, and finally becoming 5.4 per cent at ninety years and over.

"The Fifth Dimension." by Henry Still well Edwards, one of the weirdest stories ever written. Entered in our prise story competition. See our next Sunday Maga zine. Ambassador Crespo Protests Against Dissemination of Unfavorable Comment. "The question, 'Agter Diaz, what ' is being answered, In Mexico under the ad ministration of President Madvro. Re establishment of tranquillity, resumption of business activity and the prospect of prosperity unprecedented have arrived, and with a facility and to an extent be yond the greatest hopes of the most op timistic." This is the declaration mad? by the Mexican ambassador in Washington, Se nor Don Gilberto Ciespo y Martinez. Emphatic protest is registered by Am bassador Crespo against the dissemination in the United States of unfavorable com ment opposed to this view of the situa tion in Mexico, which he characterizes as unfair and misleading, ascribing it, how ever, preferably to defective information and judgment rather than ill-will of crit ical publicists. "Official advices from Mexico City," said Senor Crespo, today, in response to questions as to conditions in his country and In commenting on published articles of an alarmist nature, "inform me of the popular acceptance of the authority of the new administration and of the great desire of my countrymen of every occupa tion for abiddng peace that will permit iron si deration and institution of contem plated reforms. Confidence In the present government entertained in industrial cir cles Is Indicated by renewed and exten sive activity in business everywhere, the liberal attitude of banks and announce ment of many construction project*. Want Law and Order. "My private correspondence is confirm atory of the almost general disposition of the people toward conditions of law and order, and of the resumption of trade activities with confidence in the gov ernment. "The utter coilaptte of the recent in surrectory movement is evidence conclu sive of the existing popular disapproval of efforts at trouble making. That a leader supposed to have so large a fol lowing and to be so popular should have appealed to arms so absolutely in vain should be convincing to all intelligent citizens of the United States that the temper of the Mexican people is now for undisturbed tranquillity. "Whatever disorder followed the cessa tion of ?organized hostilities, incident to civil war in all history, has gradually subsided. In Morales and neighboring states only is there opposition to estab lished authority at this moment under arms. The collapse of sedition, one movement after another, has been marked since the assumption of the presi dency by Senor Madero." Births Reported.
