Newchwang, and June.... Since I last wrote to you, affairs here have by no means improved. Unfortunately it is just the reverse. Since the closing of the port list November till the present time, anow, and rain combined have not contributed more than a fall of an inch of rain would have done, and the ground therefore is thoroughly parched. I notice from the newspapers that the missionaries in Shantung have, ceased their relief, work; but here the distress still existing is of such an appalling character that the noble band of labourers in the field have no hopes of Blackening their efforts till the kaoliang crop has will been gathered: And the question arises there be a crop ?" If the present drought con tiques much longer the wheat and barley crops are doomed, and I fear that in many places they are already beyond recovery. Signs point to a repetition of the scenes of last year, and should it be so, the country will be ruined for years to come and the mortality must be enormous. I suppose I am well within the mark when I' say that Tls. 100,000 have been distributed by missionaries within a radius of a hundred miles of this place, The Government and the Southern gentry must have spent quité as much, or at all events, have bad it to spend. But what is the use of it, all the saving of life for the day? It is not a crisis that individuals can cope with it is the Government that must act, and without its aid the people are, lost. The difficutes in the way are, of course, stupendous, and a very energetic man is required to tackle them. Year after year certain districts are in a chronic state of distress by reason of either drought 'or flood.. A good crop of millet is the exception. These places should be evacuated. But here is the purde. If the Government did assist, these people to move into more favoured locali ties, such as: Hei-lung-chiang, the probabilities are that the day after they left their holdings would be occupied by others. Then the Chi- neso hate leaving their houses, be they merely mud hovels, and once having acquired a piece of ground, maskas however worthless it may be, the wick to it like a leech.
