VISION OF HORROR
DEATH-STRICKEN KANSU PROVINCE FAMINE-BLACKENED FACES ('Australian and X.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.50 a.m. SHANGHAI, Tuesday. Adding fresh visions of horror to those already supplied by missionaries, further reports emphasise horrifying spectacles in the death-smitten Kansu Province. Colonel Constantin states that during the world war he participated in terrible battles in Eastern Prussia, where the fields were covered with corpses and wounded, which did not impress him as much as the sight of these exhausted faces, black from starvation, these heart-rending imploring eyes. The people have stripped the earth’s surface of everything edible, digging grass and roots. Northern slave-dealers are transporting thousands of young women from Kansu, selling them into shameful pursuits.
