Measures For Relief Of Refugees Planned
Chengchow, August 1.
Pouring through the dyke breaches at Huayuankow, in the dis- trict of Chengchow, and Chaokow, in the district of Chungmow, in increasing volumes. the brown muddy flood water from the Yellow River, flowing in a southeasterly direction, has crossed the Honan korder into Anhwel, writes a Central News correspondent touring the flooded areas.
Now inundating Taiho in northwest Anhwel, about 30 kilometres from the border, the flood water is continuing to move in the same direction slowly but inexorably. It is following a course running through Fowyang and Yinshang into the Hwal River at Chengyang- kwan, 100 kilometres southwest of Pengpu as the crow flies,

Hwang Lung Shan, situated
in the northern part of Shensi with favourable climate and fertile soil, is an ideal place for reclamation. Disbanded sol- diers formerly under the, com- mand of General Yang Hu- cheng have achieved remark- able results in their reclama- tion work there.
