Famine Devastation in Asia Minor Villages

The ravages of the famine in Asia Minor have been investigated by the English Relief Committee, in a district of 42 villages. The population in 1873 was 16,900; now it is 8,271. They had 2,206 pair of oxen; now they have 427. They had 81,240 sheep; now they have but 3,312. Another district of 160 to 170 villages, in which similar calculations have been made, seems to have suffered no less severely.
