Well authenticated reports from In- dia show the condition ofthe famine stricken districts to be simply 'appal- | * ling. It is estimated that six millions of British subjects are on the verge of starvation, Already the famine has claimed thousands of victims. The case of India's famishing millions ap- peals to the sympathies of the whole world. The appeal 'is being heeded. The people of England are eagerly en- gaged in thé work of relief, the British people in all quarters of the world are sending succor to their fellow subjects in the Indian Empire, Even the peo- ple of Russia have joloed in the relief iffoyement, and are giving tioney and food. Canada surely will not neglect to perform her part in this great hunian work. The Montreal Star news- paper has inaugurated a Canadian fund --the first to be started inthe Domin- jon--and its publisher has headed the list with a subscription of five hun dred dollars. The Hon. Wilfred Laurier, Premier of Canada, has writ- ten to the Star, expressing his hearty approval of the relief movement and contributing' to the fund a handsome cheque. The appeal for assistance is meeting with a hearty response in all parts of the country and among all classes. All the Protestant clergymen of Montreal bave written a joint memorial to the Star supporting the movement. Every subscription to the Famine Fund sent tothe Montreal Star, no matter how small it may be, will be publicly acknowledged. The Lawyers Didn't Go to Luw. A Canadinn ease of Jarndycests.
