SHANGHAI. Thursday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
THIRTY-ONE millions of Chinese are on the verge of starvation through the Yang-tse flood, which affects an area 1000 miles long and 50 miles wide.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Homes and crops in the flood belt have been destroyed. Hankow is in undated, and the horrors of the dis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
aster have been augmented by disease resulting from floating corpses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A shortage of drinking water and of food is causing alarm. Damage running into millions has been done to property, while undermined buildings have collapsed, killing the inmates.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
HIDEOUS PROSPECT<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hankow streets lie under seven feet of swirling water, which will take months to subside. Unless the city<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is rebuilt, it may go off the map. The Government and foreigners in Shanghai are raising relief funds.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Nanking proposes the purchase of 30,000,000 bushels of American wheat on 20 years’ credit, by way of anticipating the inevitable winter famine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This famine, it is feared, will be the greatest calamity that the nation has ever experienced.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
