loss has amounted to about $10,000,000, and
66,000 persona aro In need of help, accord
Ing to an official report. It continues
"For the last three yea?s tho farmers
have had poor crops, and the failure, on
account offrosts, this year leaves them
In a pitiable condition.
"Men are subsisting on straw, the bark
of trees, acorns and buckwheat chaff.
powdered and made Into gruel. Mothers
living on such food have been unable to
feed their babies and havo made a milk
substitute out of tho hulls of rice, which
they beat Into a powder and mix with
boiling water. The young men have left
homo In search of work, while the aged
and the children are left behind to freeze
or starve, unless outside relief Is brought
to them."
A tad story of the famlno district Is
told by the Rev. Chlgan Takahashl, a
missionary. A tenant in Yubarl district,
whose wlfo was. starving from starvation
and Illness, stole a bale of potatoes from
his landlord.
The wife was grateful for the kindness
of her husband, but said: "I do not wish
to live any longer If It must cn stolon
fcod," and urged him to return tho goods.
Tho husband, conscience stricken, was
carrying back the potatoes, when he met
the land owner. He confessed his theft
and asked forgiveness.
The land owner was Impressed by the
sad story, and not only forgave tfie of
fense, but made a gift of tho potatoes to
tne rarmcr. The happy man returned
home and found his wife hanging dead.
The husband then hanged himself.
The Japaneso havo organized a national
relief association. Contributions have
been generous and have been swelled by
receipts from charity performances ar
ranged by both Japanese and foreigners,
The sympathy and contributions from the

prcssion on the Japanese people. The
government will also alleviate the situa
tion by setting aside money for engineer
lng works in the affected district, thus
affording employment, for the sufferers
and placing money In circulation.

will begin hero tomorrow afternoon with
an open air mass meeting In Iifnyette

endeavor to attruct to tho sessions tho
neodo whom tho child uplift work Is
destined to benefit. City official havo
nrrangod for n seating capacity of eoveral

For several weeks leaders In child labor
endeavors horo have tried to Impress
upon persons whoso children are cm-
jployed In Industrial plants to attend tho
tlrst mooting. Some of tho most promi
nent speakers of the conference will ad

Among other speakers at tho confer
ence, which will extend ovor four days,
are some of tho foremost child labor bet
terment advocates In tho country.
I.nvr Enforcement Program. (
The program this year' Is devoted
largely to tho need for enforcement of
the stato child labor laws, rather than
a plea for moro drastlo measures In this.
respect A call for a change ot laws In
somo states will not bo overlooked, It is
said, but nn earnest plea will be made
for the enforcement of what are consid
ered good laws.
"A great many of tho slates have good,
child labor laws now," said Miss Jean
M. Gordon, former Louisiana factory In
spector, rind who took" a prominent part
In arranging for this conference. "For
Instance, Louisiana had a good law as
far back as 1SSS, but It was not not en
forced until recent years. A few years
ago we saw the need for a moro stringent
act and we got It. Enforcement of
measures now on the statute books will
do wonders toward solving tho problem
of tho working child, particularly In the
cotton mills of the south."
Will Try to Uncle Masses.
Miss Gordon salU she believed confer
ences ot former years had not reached
their full Importance because people who
work In tho factories and mills have not
been attracted to tho meetings. It Is for
this reason tho mass meeting was
planned nnd come interest aroused nmone
workers In Now Orleans.
On March 20 a meeting ot the Southern
Conference of Women and Child Labor
will be held. Many ot the delegates to
tho national organization are inembers
of tho Southern conference and their
work Is along much the same lines. Tho
Southern conference Is a now organiza
tion, having been formed In 1910 In
Memphis.
