The China International Famine Relief Commission, 505 Honan Road, disclaims any and all connection with this chain letter device,—Tt. does, however, earnestly solicit contribu: tions for flood relief purposes, and is registered with the Chinese Government for that purpose. Individual receipts are issued to contributors, its accounts are audited by an independ. lent firm of chartered accountants, 1 funds are administered by experi fenced personnel, and periodically its audited financial statements are given, to the public.
