Literally thousands have fallen, never to rise, in the fields and by the roadsides. The bodies of the dead are? stripped by the emaciated survivors and the pitiful rags that clothed the corpses sold for the few brass coins they may bring with which to buy a handful of rice. One missionary of th? Augustini an order, writing from Yuachow, said: "This afternoon I called upon a once prosperous family and found them eating. Each had a bowl of boiled grass and in each bowl weie a few grains of rice. The rice in all the bowls of the entire family would not fill a full taJblespoon. It breaks my heart to see this people dying with no possible help, as the funds we have received are sufficient only to aid a very limited number." In one part of the famine belt, the last dreadful resort of the starving, cannibalism, is being prac ticed, according to Ma Ling Yi, for mer minister of education at Peking. Girl children are being given away on the mere promise that they will be fed and boys a re sold at from twenty to thirty cents apiece.
