VICTIM OF LOOTING AND

FAMINE

Pochow, Anhui, Juné 23.-Doubt- -less ours has not been unlike the ex

perience of many other places where fumine prevailed, in that the chief subject and concern has been the famine and relief, during the winter and spring. But it is good that fine whent crop has now been gathered and the needy are relieved, at least for a while. But we are far from the end of the real suffering from the distressing famine. There is great fear af disense this summer and there will almost certainly be much suffering from hunger and cold next winter. And for trying to relieve that suf- fering there is already much con- cern felt.

But in the laltor part of the winter it became known that two hundred tohs of wheat had been allotted to Pochow.
