CRAFTCHARGED
IN FAMINE FUNDS
Shanghai Association Is
Probing Use of Funds
In Chinese Districts
SHANGHAI, Feb. 4 —When peo
ple were dying by thousands and the
full horrors of winter-time famine
began to be felt in the great belt of
seven provinces in northern China,
where no harvests have been gather
ed this year, Chinese newspapers
that are printed in the international
settlement of Shanghai, openly pub
lished the charge that misuse was be
ing made of famine relief funds by
Peking government officials.
One of these papers, the Sin Wan
Pao, asserted that famine relief
funds were being diverted to the uses
of a political cilque at Peking and
the paper urged that the strictest for
eign and Chinese supervision be im
posed upon distribution funds.
It was after these charges had
been made public that the Shanghai
Famine Relief Association and the
Shanghai Missionary Association tele
graphed messages to Peking in con
nection with famine relief work.
In the messages of the Shanghai
Famine Relief Association, addressed
to President Hsu Shih-Chang, the
government was asked to announce
without delay a definite policy for
carrying out famine relief work. The
telegram emphasized that the charit
able public, both Chinese and foreign,
require a clear statement from the
government as to what steps it in
tends to take to meet present condi
tions in the north and it was made
plain that immediate action was ex
pected.
Measures the Peking government
adopted to obtain famine funds in
cluded surtaxes of certain kind and
increased railway fares on govern
ment lines.
The message that was forwarded
by the Shanghai Missionary associa
tion was address to the British and
American ministers and requested
them to urge the Chinese government
to issue an early report on famine
relief surtaxes and intimate how and
when the funds will be employed.
Before the message was authoriz
ed a report on conditions in famine
areas was given by Bishop J. W.
Lambuth of the board of missions
of the Methpdist Episcopal church.
He said that not only are the peo
ple trying to subsist on grass and
roots, having denuded trees of leaves
and bark but in places they scraped
up growing things to such an ex
tent that fields are left torn up be
hind them. Children, he said, have
vanished from many villages, as they
have been sold or killed and add
ed that so many have been thrown
into wells that many of these sources
of water supply have become pol
luted. Whole populations, he as
serted will perish before May unless
immediate aid is forth coming. Re
ports that have come to Shanghai
from widely separated districts give
basis to the belief that the present
famine is the worst China has ever
experienced.
Mexico has*sßo4 silver mines and
almost 2000 gold mines.

THE WEEK'S BUSINESS REVIEW.
Time Clocks Begin To Ring
By ALBERT
ITNEMPLOYMENT is decreasing]
v and business conditions are im
proving slowly throughout the coun
try. That is the core of the week
ly review by R. G. Dun & Co. which
ferrets out credit information for
business men.
In Detroit 30,000 automobile
workers again are ringing-in the
time clock. Trumbull Steel Co.,
which was on half time for several
months reports its 34 mills running
full blast.
Judge Gary sees “continued, if
slow, improvement in the compara
tively near future.”
Guaranty Trust Co. of New York,
queries big business men all over
the country and finds an “opinion ■
that the United States has now defi-I
nitely entered upon its return to
normal conditions.”
A building boom, which will bjing'
a rush of work to the railroads, is
predicted by Samuel M. Vauclain,,
president of Baldwin Locomotive
Works. Dow Service says spring
building will start 35 per cent nor
mal and reach 60 per cent in May
or June.
Export Trade Liven*.
Our exports are being stimulated;
by continued rise in foreign ex-'
change. In last few days the value |
of Canadian dollar in American mon
ey passed 90 cents and British ex
change rose to 33 cents higher than
a year ago.

Allies have definitely fixed amount
of German indemnity. This, treas
ury officials say, will stabilize condi
tions throughout *the world and in
crease purchasing power of countries

Federal Reserve Board has approv
ed articles of incorporation of the
$100,000,000 organization that will
finance exports under the Edge act.
What Money’s Doing.
Pennsylvania Railroad sells $60,-
000,000 of gold bonds. Gobbled
quickly. Means other heavy rail fi
nancing in near future. Big buying
by railroads would recuperate steel
industry.
Federal Reserve Board of Philadel
phia queries 100 big banks. Easier
money and credit within next six
months are predicted by 84.
Liberty bonds in January advanc
ed average bf three points, 25 lead
ing industrial stocks climbed from
average of 58.40 to 65 and 25 lead
ing railroads from 66.48 to 67.48.
Farmers’ Out’ook Better.
Grain is moving u> market at
smarter clip than since October. As
farmers sell, their buying power re
turns. Will stimulate retail and
mail order sales.
Wheat exports from United States
and Canada last week in January
totaled 8,834,279 bushels against
2,192,042 bushels same week a year
ago.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
Gonfessionsof a Bride
THE BOOK OF MARTHA.
Following Folly. ,
“I’ll get my lawyers to attend to ’
your case in the morning!” Daddy
Lorimer became serious at last
“Better get down to my office at j
11 sharp, young lady!”
“Now isn’t it just like you men
to ignore a woman’s rights!” I pro- '
tested. “Martha Palmer undertook
Ann’s case, and now you’re proceed- 1
ing as if she hadn’t! Why, Martha
would have had Ann bailed out .and ,
the case all settled up with that de-j
partment store, only Ann insisted i
on staying in jail all night! Ann was
so obstin—”
“Obstinate!” finished the bebe,
gleefully.
“Sure—Marte can do it! I’ll talk j
to her now—and tell her what J|
want!” Thus Daddy permitted usi
women to manage in our own way!
He went over to the phone and Moth
er Lorimer switched the conversa
tion to talk about growing hyacinths
in glass bowls.
Presently I say Ann slip awayi
from the party and glide quietly up-,
stairs. I surmised what she was up:
to and so I wasn’t at all surprised ‘
when she did not appear at the din
ner table. But nobody else guess
ed for Ann is seldom prompt at din
ner. Neither etiquet nor considera
tion for others ever made her on time,
to a meal. Therefore nobody com-!
mented on her absence—not even
Jim. When the butler handed him a
note, he turned it over to his father
who read it aloud, very solemnly.
“I’ve surrendered myself to the
law.” Ann’s letter began. “I’ve gone
to find a jail since my own has burn
ed down! I couldn't cheat the
courts! Besides when will I ever have
a chance like this to get ideas for
my big play?”
The note was signed “Pearl
Blanchard.”
Once more Ann’s trickiness amus
ed Daddy and Bob. Their merriment
was interrupted by a phone call for
; Daddy. He spoke from an adjoin
ing room, so loudly that we were
obliged to hear his end of the talk:
“Lock her up! Yes! Lock her up!
Tell her we’ll bail her out tomorrow,
maybe!”
Daddy was still laughing when he
rejoined us.
“Ann has found a jail, all right!”
he said. Once more Ann scored with
the men.
I I was simply furious with her, not
because of the scandal, but on ac
, count of her husband’s health. Jim’s
nerves were in a bad way, I knew
' he wouldn’t sleep a wink that night.
, I almost hoped that mice and rats
; would frighten his selfish little in
genue wife half to death before
morning.
Not everyone would have blamed
Ann. Many girls would have envied
her for she was the embodiment of
! modern ideas about individualism.
She shaped her career to suit her
i self, at any cost to anybody! She
| was so set in her purpose to express
herself in art, to write the great
| American play, that she couldn’t
' give a thought to the effect of her
! selfishness upon her husband’s con
I dition.
I
Her folly made me furious.
