Floods In Harbin, Manchuria -- The offices of the "Harbin Observer", the only British owned and British edited paper in Manchuria, showing the proprietor and editor, Mr. B. Hayton Fleet wading through the floods to the printing house. The flood water stood at the same level for ten days and the Chinese unconcernedly washed their linen at their doors whilst the stench in the streets from dead rats and other reuse was unbearable.
