Dykes have collapsed at many points between Ich- ang (over 1,000 miles from the mouth of the Yangtze) and the sea.

At Wuhil, 250 miles Inland, a lake 80 miles long by 40 miles wide was formed, and part of the land is stfU under water. The third flooded region is North Hunan. The Yuen river following from the southwestern part of the province empties itself into Tongting lake. This river is becomin a more serious problem year by year. The suminer floods having subsided, the people were deipending on a crop of buckwheat for the winter, when in the middle of November after a few days of steady rain, this region was floipded for a third time in 1911 and the cultivated land is more rtan ten feet under water.

The situation in these three districts is desperate in the extreme! Other contributing causes to the awful present famine are: The scarcity of the crops and a succession of bad years, which have rendred the people of the affected districts well nigh hopelessi In northern Kiangsu there has been" only one good year since 1906, an the two serious famines of 1906-07 and 1910-11 are quite eclipsed by the present one. Failure of the government to repair dykes and to the water courses open is another factor in the devastation. To the above of the present distress must he added the revolution. The city of Hankow has been destroyed by the bombardment and between half and three quarters of a million people are homeless. Thousands, and among them many who were prosperous merdhants, are hopelessly ruined.

Taking advantage of the change of regime and the enforced of the powers to other matters; bands of armed robbers are busy looting and destroying in the towns and villages in many parts of the eimpire, especially in famise regions. The central China famnle relief committee has been formed in 'Shanghai, for the purpose of. collecting accurate" Information regarding the conditions in the famine area, and making them known to the at large. It has appealed for assistance. The' aim of the committee is to save life.
