PHASES OF THE FAMINE, GREAT MORTALITY EXPECTED IN THE ware SEASON, Some More nS ioe Mast be Found Than Th: red by Repeated Relief VesahcWaee That Solution Is, From various sources the: report comes that the famine in India is all but over; that from now the mending Process begins; so that we shall soon find the natives in prosperity again. Mr. Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Herald of New York, brings back from India a different story. According to him the mortality of the wet season in India is just commencing and must assume tremendous propor- tions. Twenty million blankets must at once be provided, or else India’s greatest blessing, the monsoon, will rove an appalling disaster. deaths will probably number more! than two million. fe} 4 as A GREAT PROBLEM TO SOLVE. Again there is an appeal to allay the sufferings in India, and again there comes up for solution the same pro- blem which has for many years defied many of the empire's ablest states- inen, Appeals say that in India it costs five cents to support aman for one day; they further say that 6,000,000 sufferers are receiving relief. The vast sum of $300,000 then, is expended every day—and for what? san investment in some great scheme of commercial enterprise; no’ Soa famine; but to proserve the lives of and who may yet again be ed by the advent of another drought, for these famines are constantly re- curring and with every fresh appear- ance seems to gain in virulence.
