FAMINE RELIEF.

STARVING PEOPLE EATING LEAVES.

Tightening of the famine's grip on the people of West Chihli is reported in many letters and telegrams from investigators to the Peking United International Relief committee. response the committee is arranging For additional purchases of grain sup- plies and speeding the shipments of grain already purchased.

On an investigation four of half a day in the Paotingiu district E. M. Young and other workers with him found the bodies of six persons who had actually died from starvation while he received reports of many others that could not be accurately checked. Because o! extreme conditions there, the workers were selecting the most needy cases, and seeing them through, in preference to the plan of scattering the supplies over a large area with the result that all will Starre, though a little more slowly. Death is inevitable, Mr. Young re- ported, and the task is to save as many as can be brought through | safely.

The closing days of the old year were marked by E great preponderance of sellers, and prices for American Cotton at Liver- pool touched the lowest paint reached since August 1916. Or the last day of the year, current month closed at 8.90 and spot at 9.90, which quota lowest realised. A comparison of itions were within a few points of the these figures with the highest point reached early in the year, when cur- rent month was over 29 peace and spot over 32 pence, shows the sensa tional slump which has taken place, and gives some idea of the severe change there has been from a period of extraordinary prosperity to one| of acute depression. At the reopening of the exchanges for the New Year,

The two apprentices, Casson and Irwin, were engaged in blanking up the rivet holes in one of the forward tanks at the bottom of the new yes- sel, when they were shut în accident- ally by the caulker, whose duty it was To see that all manboles were fasten- ed down before the ship was launched- The youths had been in the tank for some time before they, made theļa mach more optimistic sentiment discovery that they had been shut in. When they realised their peril they had to blow out their candles to pre vect an explosion of vapour from the oil used in pipes running through the tank.

They were only able to kneel dow the roof of the tank being so low.

Telegraphing from Hokienfu W. D. Hobart reported that at Chichow there are 101,000, in need while 25.000 of these have no grain of any kind and 2,000 others will be without grain in less than a month.

From some quarters it has been reported that merchants who are speculating in rain have shipped several carloads into the district, and are selling at high profits. This is an added reason for speeding the ship- ments that are to be distributed under committee supervision.
