AUTHORITIES FEAR PESTILENCE CtEAN REFUGEE CAMPS Steps Now Being Taken by The Local Authoi ities to Relieve Famine Stricken People. Nanking, China, Feb. ti—The fira* organized steps to relieve the famine were taken today by the local authori ties. A starving horde is camped out side of the city walls. It is estimat ed that more than thirty thousand men, women and children walked to the city in the hope of finding em ployment. The heart of the famine region, however, where the people are abso lutely without food or shelter, covers an area of more than two thousand square miles. Whole families are moving together with crudely made wheelbarrows as their vehicles. The husband or father pushes the wheelbarrow, in which he usually places his mother, his wife being compelled to walk. The youngest children are also given room, the rest of the family trudg ing along. These people are abso lutely dependent upon alms.
