28, with a matinee in the afternoon
for school children, will be a mixtaro
of pageentry, music and humor, no-
cording to Charles W. Chylinski, the

(By Th- Aswocinted Press) I
NEW YORK, March 16.—Stock
prices bobbed up and.'down without
making much progress in either di-
reckon on ahe New York curb ex-
change last week as traders sought to
drterm Inc whether cheap money or
unfavorable trade newt would be the
dominating market factor. Bond prices
showed material improvement in re-
flection of the downward trend of
money rates, with trading in those
necurities running around ths highest
turnover of the last two years.
Oils gave one of the most impres-
sive demonstrations of group strength
as a result of several favorable oil
trade developments, but the gains
w 4 cut down by profit-taking
toshss the close of the week. Gulf,
Aunble, Standard of Indiana and sev-
eral others attained new peek prices
for the ear during the week’s trad-
ing.
Eforts to extend the recent ad-
"hce in the public utility issues met
whth strong resistance. Natural gas
stocks showed strong resistance to
pressure because of several important
consolidation plans under way in that
industry, United Gas leading the ad-
vance in that group.
Aviation shares were mixed, Doug-
las Aircraft attaining a new peak
while several of the other favorites
lost ground. Most of the Radio shares |
were heavy.
Several of the investment trust,
trading and holding corporation
shares reached new high ground dur-
ing the week, but the net gains, as a
rule, were small.
Friday, 1M stocks sold ex-dividend,
a new high record. The annual re-
port of the president of the exchange
recently disclosed that 65 per cent of
the stocks listed were on a dividend-
paying heals.

for relief 1928-29, amounted to $2,-

don much more, directly affecting
its own revenues, in this than in any
former famine.
"The 1750,000 cent by the China
Relief fund, U. S. A., has saved from
a quarter to a half-million lives.

Famine Relief commission in the
famine sone, the total loss has been
less than *400, and this was in grain
taken by starving peasants to save
their children from starvation."
Recent Reports Made
"What are some of the moot recent
reports in China?
"I quote from The China Prese* of
Shanghai, in the English language, for
English speaking residents at that
cify.
“In its issue of Nov. 30, 1029, The
Chino Frees’ had a leading article,
Fifty Million Souls In Dire Peril,’ a
summary of the 1928 report of China
International Famine Relief commis-
sion which it explains was very be-
lated because the staff of the commis-
sion ‘hove been kept so extremely busy
actually doing relief work that only
at odd moments has it been possible
to squeeze in time to prepare the re-
port.'
"Thio report, which included also
the provinces of Shantung, Hopei end
Honan (now free of starvation) de-
clared that during 1928, over 50 mil-
lion human beings were imperilled by
the famine. The present famine, we
repeat, is limited to five provinces,
the worst of which are Shansi, Kansu
and Shansi.
"The Associated Press correspon-
dent at Petping cabled early this your
that the famine is the worst in hu-
man history.’ G. Findlay Andrew, a
well-known missionary, wko recently
raturn to Shanghai after nino months
of work in the famine area, reported
that 2,000,000, one-third of the popu-
latten, have died in the province of
Shanst alone, and that 2,000,000 more
are doomed to die within the next
few months. The situation is worse
in Kansu,’ he says. ‘In addition to
famine/’ he said, typhus favor raged
throughout the ounmer, killing un-
counted numbers. Stories of canni-
balism era entirely true. I have wit-
nessed many instances of it,’ he de-
clared. r. 8. Mann of the English
Baptist Mission at Sian says, that the
Mid in Shansi was so intense that
thousands froze to death there dolly,
and that they could not be buried be-
eause the ground was frozen eolid:
"Grover Clark cabled in January
that the China Inland mission at
Lanchow reports a third to a half
the populaticn of central Kansu
were dead from famine, and that
around Lanchow, famine would rage
beginning with February.
“Regarding Shansi, Mr. Clark re-
porta the famine serious in 43 coun-
ites. a population of 2,000,000, la
north Shannhi 400,000 people, end
in southwestern Shansi 1,600,000, will
exhaust their food in February. The
earlteat harvest cannot occur in
I the little ones who wore thus aban-
i doned to their fate.”
Frees keports Ato Givea
"The New York Times correspon-
dent at Peiping cabled on November
14, 1920, that all the 92 counties
of Shansi are famive strieken. "At
Sianfu and in many other places
great common burial pita (Wan
Jon, or 10,000 People Pit) era filled
and now pits had to bo dug,” he
reports. Countless villages and many
sizeable towns have been entirely
wiped out in some districts the
roads have been chongod, avoiding
the towns, because of the stench of
the unburiei deed. Winter will
bring terrible suffering snd deaths
beyond counting, because in order
to live tons of thousands of fam-
ilies have tarn down thslr housed,
selling the roof tiles and timbers.
Even clothing has been cold for
the price of a meal, and multitudes
face the winter with nothing left
but cotton summer garments and
roofless walls for shelter.”
"An Associated Proos cable ef
February 15, ’ 1930, quotas special
correspondence from Shensi province
to a Chinoee paper in Peiping. “The
day is not far distant when Ibero
will net be a single soul in the
province where famino hoc stalked
for four long years. Beenes of utter
desolation everywhere are described.
Entire fields are covered with bodies
of those who have died of starvation
snd the dead include persons in all
stations of life. In the Fenghsiang
district, with a population of 203,
485, a total of 99,814 have died, and
1,900 families have been wiped out
in another district. “The most tragic
part of the situation ie that these
formerly 'engaged in relief work
now are themselves seeking relief.
Many formerly well to do ore re-
duced to bugging.”
‘•Further corroboration ef these
harrowing reports comes in on*

Logan N. Roots, head of the Ameri-
can mission at Hankow, nnd from
E. C. Lobehstine, associate general
secretary of the National Christlha
Council of China, each getting in-
formation ftom special investiga-
tions.
“And finally, we quote Dr. John
R. Mott, who has made the fallow-
ing statements: ’I have recently
returned from one of my most ex-

the present desperate need in China

It has already cost milions of lives.

that It will continue at least until
the coming summer.
"Children Are Sutfering
