CHINESE FAMINE
VISIONS OF HORROR. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.— Copyright.) (Received this day at 11.25. a.m.) SHANGHAI, June 25. Adding fresh visions of horror to those already supplied bv •Missionaries, further reports emphasise the horrifying spectacles in the death smitten Kansu province. Colonel Constantine states during the world war he participated in terrible battles in Eastern Prussia, where fields were ( covered by corpses and wounded which did not imoiess him as much as the sight of these exhausted faces, black from starvation and these heart-rending, iinploiing eyes of people who have stripped the earth’s surface of everything edible, and are digging grass roots. Northern slave dealers are transporting thousands of young women from Kansu, and selling them into shameful pursuits.
