fHE Streng Appeal of Reed's
Repricing Sale
is the fact that purchasers are afforded oppor
tunity te buy clothing of the highest type at
materially lowered prices,
I There has been and still is a vast quantity of clothing
of ordinary character offered at presumably low
prices, but usually the lowered prices are about all
that the goods were ever worth.
Cf All the clothing in our Repricing Offering is of
Reed's Acknowledged High Standard, and a large
proportion of it isvnreduced by manufacturers whose
goods are confined strictly te us in Philadelphia.
The price saving is $10 te $15 en each

MILLIONS IN CHINA

Rev. Dr. 8amsen, Back Frem Trip te

Twenty-million men, women and
children in northern China arc starving,
declares the Itev. Manrice Samson, pas
tor of Olvet Ucfermcd Church, Legan,
who returned yesterday from a three
months' tour of the Orient. Accom
panied by Mrs. Samson and his sister-In-law.
Miss Clara D. Kitchen, of Spr ng
Cltv, Pa., Dr. Samson attended the
u'nVM Himilnv Hdiiiel Convention in
In northern China, which ur. natnsnn
visited before going te the convention,
be found the people starving. Ne rain
had fallen for five months and the pop
ulation was eating roots und dry grass.
Hundreds of men, women nnd children,
inmn In fun nml in ii ii v absolutely
naked, gathered around the train at the
railroad station, begging for feed.
In Korea, Dr. Samson was surrctinded
by Japanese spies, who report every
word of conversation or utterance by
an American nt n public meeting nnd
seek te prevent Americans from coming
In contact with the Kerenn people. A
similar spy system prevails In Shantung.
"The Chinese positively hate the Jap
anese," declared the minister. "They
arc hoping and praing that America
will assist them te wnrd off Japanese
aggression. As te the Koreans, they are
helpless under the rule of their con
querors. Pitiful conditions prevail in
Koren."
In sections of northern China. Dr.
Samson found cholera, small pox nnd
diphtheria raging. Similar conditions
prevailed in parts of Japan.
