-From Our Own Correspondent.

Tsinanfu, Nov. 18.

Mr, Poulsen has succeeded Mr. L. Todnem as_ Secretary-Treasurer of the International Auxiliary for Famine Relief Shantung.

Messrs. W. P. Pailing and D. V. Godfrey, who are disbursing famine relief in the Haifeng district, report that their funds can only relieve a very small minority of the starving. They are forced to adopt the melancholy expedient of selecting a few families whom they undertake to see through the famine by providing each family with a certain sum monthly.
