FAMINE IN CHINA
CONDITIONS IMPROVING PROVISION OF GRAIN STOCKS AT RELIEF STATIONS (By Telegraph-Press AesoclaUon-OopyrlrM (Rec. February 21, 8.20 p.m.) Peking, February 20. The famine conditions in China are improving. Most of the sufferers are assured against starvation by grain stocks nt relief stations, which the entire famine district can reach. At the crucial period, when spring comes, the weakened people will take up work on the land, which, however, is heavily mortgaged, and they will be without farm animals. The winter wheat crops have been generally excellent, and there has been no epidemic save the usual occasional typhus cases. The relief funds available total ten million dollars, and it is estimated that seven millions more will be required.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
