HEIGHT NOT REACHED.

Pong, Nov. 20, According to the latest statement Issued by the International Famino Relief Committee, twelve million people havO already reached famine point in Northern and Con-

Nanking, Nov. 19. Marshal Yen Hai-shan has tele- graphed to the Government urging the promotion at the earliest pos- sible moment of a Shansi Famine Relief Fund. Marshal Yen states that the position in Shnosi in a serious as in any other part of the country.

In many places, the second rice crop has entirely failed and hun- dreds of people are literally stary- ing already,

Ho suggests that $30,000,000 should be devoted to road con- Atruction in Shansi, the work to be carried out by the sufferers, who are now on the verge of starvation, and can thus be given suitable em- ́ployment

Marshal. Yen Hai-shan says

that Shansi bankers will contri- bute $10,000,000 to the fund, the Taiyuen-Chengting Railway an other $10,000,000, if the Ministry of Finance will raise $10,000,000 by means of Treasury bonds, to provide the remainder of the money.

The request has not had a fay ourable reception.

It is reported that about ten thousand rifles and revolvers and a million rounds of am- munition have been thus trad- ed in the past four years.-- Reuter.

AIR MAIL FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

R. A. F. FLIERS BRING TWO BAGS HERE.

It is interesting to note in con- nexion with this arrival here on Sunday of the four R.A.F. flying boats that not only did they make the first flight from the Philippines to Hongkong but that they brought the first serial mail from that ter- ritory.

This mail consisted of two bags, containing 500 lettera, and an in- teresting feature is that each of the letters bore a complete collec- tlon of Philippines stamps.

These stamps were surcharged in red with the letters "LO.F." (London-Oriental Flight) and each bore a picture of a seaplane, with the date 1928 underneath.
