Promising Unit tho nocd In Klanpoh
the famine stricken section of China
is an bad as bad can be and that tho
lives .ot 'millions depend upon tho gen-
erosity 'bt Americans it is a pleasure
to set forth succinctly tho following
facts:
"in addition to tho 1150000 in monoy
sent through tho State Department
and tho National Red Cross to tho
Civic and Missionary Committees in
Shanghai and Chinklang respectively
The Christian Herald engaged to sup
ply a cargo of food if tho government
would furnish the carrying vessel.
The War Department detailed the
big army transport Buford for tho
purpose indicated and that vessel is
scheduled to sail on April 30 from San
Francisco to Chlngklang the latter
port being tho distributing centre for
tho famine district and tho headquar-
ters of the Missionary Committee to
which tho larger Civic Committee at
Shanghai has delegated the distribu-
tion and expenditure of all funds re-
ceived from foreign sources.
It may bo said In passing that up
to dnte and exclusive of the Bufords
cargo the $200000 sent by Americans
is two-thirds of the total of foreign
relief.
When the Buford was assigned The
Christian Herald solicited tho services
of the commissary or purchasing de
partment of the United States Army
and after many and satisfactory con-
ferences by long-distance tolephone
between Dr. Klopsch and Commissary-
General Henry G. Sharpe the whole
matter of cargo and purchase thereof
was arranged. $110000 being placed
to General Sharpe's credit by Tho
Christian Herald
One thousand tons of flour were
bought from the Washburn-Crosby
Company ip Minneapolis and Messrs.
E. H. Harriman President of the Un-
ion Pacific and Marvin Hughltt Pres-
ident of the Chicago and Northwostern
Instantly agreed to transport this flour
free to San Francisco. This was oqulv
ulent to a gift of $15000.
It was hoped that the Buford could
make Seattle port a call and with
such an event in view President Jas.
J. Hill was asked by Dr. Klopsch if he
would carry 1000 tonB of Minneapolis
flour to Seattle free. Ho promptly
wired that ho would. It was learned
later that the Buford could not call
at Seattle and Mr. Hill's offer was not
available.
When the Minneapolis purchase
wai completed and it was found that
tho Buford could not go to Seattle
Commissary-General Sharpe through
Major Krauthoff Deputy Commlssary-
Gencral U. S. Array at San Francisco
arranged for tho purchase of 1800
tons of Pacific Coast flour for ship-
ment on tho Buford on tho 30th Inst.
Thus stands the matter of relief nt
thH writing. By tho first of Juno
The Christian Horald will have con-
tributed to the fnmlne through the
State Department 'and ttho Red Cross
$150000 In monoy a cargo costing
$150000 (donated transportation be-
ing considered) and worth at leaat a
quarter of a million at Chinklang.
Meanwhile the Chlneso Government
has wakened to tho terror of tho tlmo
in Klanpeh and from Peking are 1b-
auod many edicts remitting taxes and
providing for tho prosocutlon of public
works 'roads dikes and canals princi-
pally which shall afford labor and la-
bor'H wngo to tho destitute.
In n report to Dr. Klopsch of tho
U8o to which fundB sent by The Chris-
tlon Horald wore put tho Missionary
Committee nt Chlngklang said:
"Chinese roads are execrable ami
wo can use tho funds to give them per-
manent benefit and afford a good ob
ject lesson while at the same time
preyentlng pauperization through di-
rect distribution without labor". The
report adds; "Conditions nt Tdlngkl-
angpu arp auch that no relief work
can bo done and tho missionaries have
to distribute food and money directly
to the people without work Condi-
tions In tho fumlno area are frightful
Wo can give you but a Tulnt Idea pf
the desperate straits of millions of
people"
Itellf Still Impcratlm
Spveral days ago It wan generally
reported through the papers that C6n
BUl-Geuorul Itodgera believed the pres-
sing need for relief was over Thla as
sumption of Gcnoral Rodgers posi-
tion was erroneous. What ho Bald was
that probably tho cargo of tho Buford
would bo tho last food feasible from
foreign relief but that money would
then bo needed and specified $50000
gold as a requisite to follow tho Bu-
ford'a coming.
To make nssuranco of the need for
holp doubly sure Tho Christian Herald
cabled Rev. J. F. McCrea Chairman of
the acknowledgedly efficient and un-
selfish commltteo nt Chinklang and
received tho following reply:
CHINGKIANG March 31.
Klopsch Christian Horald:
Nowspapor reports unfounded. Re-
lief work saving many but totally In-
adequate. Thousands are porlshlng.
Missionaries in tho famine area aro
unanimous as to urgent nocd of relief
until June. McCREA.
Itcports From tho Fnmlne Field.
All along throughout the fnmlne
Mr. McCrea has been noted as a speak
cr of words of truth and sobernoss as
a representative of relief work of tho
best character and scope and as one
thoroughly posted on conditions. His
cablegram may bo accepted as the un-
qualified truth.
Matters of need and of relief being
as set forth above it Is eminently pro-
per to appeal to Amorlcans who have
the wherewithal to contribute to tho
Chinese Famine Relief Fund from
which must como the money to pay
for tho "Buford's" cargo. This cargo
will save a million humnn beings from
death by starvation. It will drlvo
away the wolves of want tho dogs of
despair. It will give hope to hunger-
racked men women and children.
Contributions by check postal or ex-
press money order sent to The Chrls-
tlon Herald Chinese Famlno Relief
Fund will be welcomed acknowledg-
ed and applied under the auspices of
the State Department to secure tho
best lesults In tho most cfTlclent and
economical wa.
News by letter and from Chinese pa-
pers continues Its troml of monotonous
misery. The suffering Is appealing;
tho death list grows appalling.
One correspondent of tho Noi th Chi-
na News nnd Horald writing from
T8lngkiangpu last February sayB:
"We aro In despornto straits horc.
Tho people aro starving nnd froozlng
to death and nre becoming truly des
perate Our gate Is thronged all dny
and night with the most pitiful speci
mens of starving humanity. When wo
go out we aro besought for help and
clung to until we can hardly got
through tho crowd. Tho clothes sent
by the ladles hnve till been distributed
Wo wore almost mobbed by tho crowd
wanting garments but with tho holo
of the local police wo got through safo
ly. It is a fearful sate of affairs and
I am not sure how long we shall be
able to stand the strain to say noth
ing of tho disease with which wo aro
surrounded."
Another writer for tho snm.o paper
Bays of Cheng Vang Kuan In Anhul
province: "Things aro bad hero. Many
of tho pcoplo aro dying for want of
bread nnd clothing. Crowds patrol tho
Btreets crying for food. Things aro
exceedingly dear; tho price of every-
thing is abnormally high." This was
written on tho 29th of last January.
Relief has beon afforded but not in
measuro to kcop pace with the ad-
vancement of famine and destitution
From Chlngklang Under dato of
March 1 comes tho statement; "The
supplies of American flour nnd money'
aro being received by tho starving peo
ple with tho utmost appreciation. Tho
flrflt consignments have arrived at all
the centres nnd have already beon
largely distributed to tho people "
There are three remedies that are
almost Indlsponslblo In ovary house

grippo best liniment for wounds and
cuts In man or beast Colic and diar
