MILLIONS SUBSCRIBED TO ASSIST SUFFERERS

IN CHINESE FAMINE

(By Associated Press) SHANGHAI, Nov. 17 Millions of dollars have been subscribed to the general fund raised in various centers in China to provide relief for inhabitants of a great belt spread over seven provinces in northern China where (tods have failed and whole populations were starving to death.. It is estimated that the famine, the worst China has experienced in half a century, has fastened its grip upon between 30,000.000 and 40.000.000 of people who faced a north country winter after a harvest only about right per rent of normal. While relief organizations were being formed in Peking and other centers and the Chinese government had set in motion ponderous and slow moving machinery, about 40 leading Chinese organized the Seven Provinces Famine Relief association, and within a week had received contributions amounting to a little less thruj $2,000,000. Foreign aid in the campaign for funds was enlisted at a mass meeting that was attended by representatives of the American and British Chambers of Commerce, the American Association of China and a number of othei foreign organizations. A committee appointed at this meeting, working with the executive body of the Chinese Relief association, outlined and carried through' the general campaign The minimum of $5,000,000 that was fixed as the least sum that .Shanghai should contribute as it was estimated that not less than $200,000,000 would be required was passed in the first weeks of the campaign, which began in September, and was to be contin ued on into December.

Some mothers have kept their child, ren alive on grasses and roots made into a thin, tasteless soup.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 17. Christmas celebrations for all ex-servr ice men and women who are in Indiana hospitals because of , disabilities suffered during their service, will be provided by the Indiana posts of the American Legion, according to pians being formed by state officers of the Legion. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander of the Legion, has asked Iegion posts throughout the country to arrange such celebrations. The state officers are working on suggestions that soon will be sent to the local posts. They recently assigned the 42 hospitals in the state where ex-service men and women are stationed, to posts of the Legion in the cities in which the hospitals are located, with instructions to the posts to send their members to visit the service men at least once each week.

The assignments for Christmas celebrations will be to the same posts for the same hospitals. The posts will be asked to provide Christmas trees, gifts for the men and women, and a Christmas entertainment. Several of the posts will see that the men under their care are remembered on Thanksgiving day.
