Considerable discussion was aroused by a. reso- lution introduced by the delegation from Great Britain, recommending that Imperial ex~service men now in the Dominlons should either be admitted into the local ex-service men’s organization or encouraged to form organizations of their own. i It was pointed out in the pre- amble to the resolution that in Great Britain the Government and the constituent organizations ac- cept all exservice men upon an equal basis. In Australia said A. H. Franks, a representative of the British Legion, there had been dis- crimination against Imperial ex- servlce men in employment. A num. ber of serious cases had been brought to the attention of the British Legion. On motion oi’ Sir Frederick Maurice, the matter was referred t0 a sub-committee for in- vestigation. The conference referr- ed to the Empire Council of the League a scheme whereby the sons of ex-service men in outlying parts of the Empire, should be given suit- able training under the auspices of industrial concerns in Great Brit- ain. It was further decided, “that this conference reaffirms the policy of the British Empire League and that of constituent organizations, that ex-service men shall be given preference in employment and urg-

SHANGHAI, Sept. 3. - Another vast welter of death and suffering was slowly being revealed today as President Chiang Kaishek estimated that fifty million Chinese flood" vic- tims were on the verge of starva- tlon. While national effort was being made to relieve Jankow, Wuchang and Hanyang, a quarter million per- sons were estimated to have died of flood, starvation and exposure dur- ing August. Attention was diverted to Northern Klangsu Province, where the once fruitful and happy basin between the Grand Canal and the sea has been transformed into a death trap for scores oi thousands.

The flooded area there aproxi- mates 5,000 square miles in which 10,000,000 persons dwell. The most intense misery has been inflicted upon five rich farming countries, each supporting 1,000,000. This re- gion, containing the cities of Kaoyu, Shaopo, Tsichow, Tungtai and Hinghwa, lies ten feet below the grand canal bed and twenty feet below tlzc normal le/el of the call- al.

Takes Death Toll of 100,000 The Rev. Thomas L. Harnsberger, who arrived today from the devast- ed area, estimated at least 100,000 had died in the Northern Kiangsu floods and that 2,000,000 would per-

Floods

in“ China Take Heavy Qgath Toll

Mr. Han-lsberger, who some from Staunton, va., nineteen years ago as a Presbyterian Missionary, said hun- dreds of villages mlSt have been submerged. Residents were without a chance to escape when dykes near Maoyu and Shaopo collapsed a week ago.

Then swollen Hwai river poured

its waters into a. string of lakes, which emptied into the Grand Can- al, the dykes of which burst. ‘This flood united with that from the Yangtsa river, streaming north through broken dykes near Wuhu in Anhwel province. The typhoon the night of August 25 formed a great lake over the populous area, drown- ing thousands.

Kaoyu and Shaopo, market towns. were believed to have suffered most. Chinese refugees told Mr. Harnsber- ger the towns were nearly ruined.

When Mr. Harnsberger left his station at Taichow, the water was eight feet deep outside the city wall.

While the National Flood Relief Commission's energies have been concentrated upon the central Yangtse Valley, Kiangsu provincial authorities are mobilizing to aid the Grand Canal region. Already forty launches are rescuing people from trees and roofs.

Boats are carrying food to the suf- ferers, and engineers are planning refugee camps, while the provincial treasury is negotiating a million dol- lar relief loan with Shanghai bank-

CLEAN, N. Y., Sept. Ii-Harry P. Powers compiled seven rules for happy marriage for the widows he courted by mail. The West Virgin- ian, accused of murdering five per- sons during his matrimonial advent- ures, sent his rules to Mrs. Bessie G. Storrs, middle aged Olean wid-

i cw, who was to have-married him

yesterday. Here they are:

' “First of all, a sense of humor should prevail. Everything has its funny side and if husband and wife can flrid it and laugh together, they never need to fear the divorce court.

Must Love Each Other

“Second. they must love each oth- er and with co-operation and P61‘- fect harmony and understanding and loyalty and an earnest effort on both sides to cultivate the feel- ing of love. Love is bound to come as a natural consequence. Without the true love, molehills of misunder- standing become mountains of sus- plcion. It never brings about what it seems to prevent for unjust sus- plcion may lead the constantly ‘sus- pected vlctim to try to deserve it.

“Fourth, give and take. Marriage is a compromise, a matter of ad- justment and the husband or wife who expects perfection in the life

faults, sooner or later will wreck the home.

Avoid Criticism

“Sixth. criticism or superiorlsm have nosupport in any well con-

‘ducted home. But few wives. and

husbands, too, can stand criticism. And the more they love each other. the more it is taken to heart, es- pecially if it be edged with dorms!"- Superiorism must equally B5 we“ be avoided. Many men and women marry their intellectual inferiors and a quick way ‘to trouble is t0 199 the marital partner knows that he or she is constantly aware oi it.

"Seventh, love sell last. The hus- band who thinks he can act like a bachelor or the wife who thinks first of her own pleasures, luxuries and welfare are in lovc only with themselves and not with each oth- er."

MISSIONARIES ENTER FIELD OF BUSINESS

WORK IN FOREIGN FIELDS EM- BRACES ELABORATE PRO- GRAM

B%TON, Sept. 3.—-(U.P.)—Mis- sionary work in foreign fields has joined the realm of “big business."

No longer does the Christian worker abroad confine himself to evangelistic service. The scope of his activity has broadened in recent years until it embraces an elaborate program which also includes:

Schools, ranging from kinder- gartens to colleges.

Industrial and agricultural in- struction.

Hospitals, dlspcnsaries and clin- ics. Social service, with settlement houses and playgrounds.

Oldest Society

America's oldest foreign mission- ary society is the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis- sions, with headquarters here. From the time it was organized, 121 years ago, it has sought the co-operation of all Christians without distinction of sect “who desire to propagate the Gospel among the unevangelized nations.

Today it has 700 missionaries - 248 men and 452 women-in for- eign fields. There are 1'73 in China, 158 in the Near East, 120 in India. 110 in Africa, and smaller numbers a elsewhere. Last year the organiza-

tion spent nearly $2,000,000 on mis- sions.

Dean of Workers

Dean of these church workers afield is Miss Eva. M. Swift, 68. formerly of Dallas, Texas, still ac- tive in India after 4'1 years’ serv- ice. And the scoietys honor roll lists the names of 114 retired mis- sionaries who served 25 to 57 years. An average of 30 new recruits are sent out annually.

The American Board has 1.345 schools in foreign lands and says that if pupils atending them were to form a paradeand march, 10 a- breast, lt would require l8 hours for them to pass the reviewing stand.

At the local employment ex- change some claimants were being movedfrom upstairs to the ground floor. At another building one cu- rious person enquired the reason why they were being moved.

Well, replied another they have got to be X-rayed.
