TWELVE MONTHS
FAMINE FACES l
CHINA SECTIONS
Kwangtung and Kwangsi Prov
inces Can Be Averted From
Fate Only By Outside Aid
Washington.—Twelve months fam
ine, which only outside aid can avert,
faces the Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces if China, which were devas
tated by flood in July with a loss of
3,000 lives and more than 100,000
homes.
Consul General Cheshire reported
today from Canton that more than
eight million people suffered losses
and many millions in distress would
need food until the next harvest.
"In many places whole villages have
y ,-n blotted out, inhabitants and all,”
« the report. "The loss of life
may never be known, but the suffer
ing is appalling. The West River
still, at the end of July, is very high,
the fields and lands are under several
feet of water.
“At first we hoped the water might
recede more rapidly and the fields be
available for the second planting.
This, now appears not to be possible.
"This is only the beginning. What
the near futre has in store only God
knows. Help is needed now. Delay
cannot be long If these people are to
be saved.”

RAN AUSTRIANS
FROM TRENCHES
Stated That Russians Deluged
Enemy With Shrapnel, Alter
nating With Gun Fire. Burned
Villages
Petrograd, (via London, St 13 a. m.)
—The Warsaw correspondent of the
Novoe Vremya gives this account of
the fighting beyond Lublin, Russian
Poland:
“The Russians were compelled to
take several lines of fortifications step
by step, ejecting the Austrians from
the trenches. I rode along 20 miles
of abandoned trenches and saw many
guns and much equipment which had
been thrown away by the Austrians.
“The enemy was deluged with a
hail of shrapnel, alternating with gun
fire and his line of retreat was mark
ed by burning and deserted villages.
Along the roads in the direction of
Lublin were marching Austrian pris
oners who had surrendered in compa
nies and battalions.
"For six hours I watched the battle.
The artillery fire was maintained in
the distance above a wood, shrapnel
bursting and white clouds rising over
the horizon. Suddenly from the wood
appeared a black mass which, on
growing crealer, was seen to be an
Austrian battalion which fled out and
surrendered. At night the thunder of
the cannon alternated with the
crackle of rifle fire. The enemy's
artillery was located and silenced by
ours.’ 1
