FAMINE IN BENGAL.
CRISIS SAID TO BE PASSING. LONDON, November 19. ■ “It is not unduly optimistic to say that Bengal’s food crisis has passed the peak and is slowly receding,” says the Calcutta correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph.” He adds: “Unless the authorities loosen their present grip on the situation, normality should return throughout the province within three months. Food supplies for the distressed areas are going forward according to plan, the Army s food-carrying trucks ceaselessly supplementing the food going to the interior by rail, bullock cart and river. Military aid in the disti’ibution is assuring to all their daily bread.”
