Pictures af Grim Misery. Pictures of misery seen here are du plicated In Samara. Simbirsk, Saratoff, Tsarttaln, and every other city in the famine-stricken valley of the Volga. Docks and rallcpad stations are piled high with the belongings of the refu gees, who were driven from their land jay the drought and the clouds of grasshoppers that destroyed even the meaeer grain that had defied the heat of the terrible rammer now drawing to a tragic done. Committees are try ing to move the refugee* to other I points where there 1# some promise of food, bat it is necessary to use the limited rlrer and railroad trans portation facilities to send seed Tgrato Into the country *nd brtn* brea into the famine dihtricts. Many professional beggars of the gypsy, type are to be found bCTe and in other large centers In southern Russia, but the starring farmers asK no alma and utter no cry.

Markets have sprung up mushroom like here and there about the refuse camps, offering for sale vegetables, bread, flour and meat They are sur rounded by hungry people, who have no money to offer, but who exchange wedding rings, fur costs; cap* set tles, pans, boots and other small pos sessions.

There Is no hay or grain here, and there is slight prospect that j the animals can be kept alive until spring. In the carts are samovars, talking machines, concertinas and American 1 sewing machines, which are bartered for food or for coffins. The dead He unnoticed for hours, while near them are pitiful groups boiling a few potatoes and onions with which to keep alive. Some markets are under 1 armed guard, but this appears to be unnecessary, as the peasants are too vyak and passive to take violent j measures. Typhus Claiming Victims. Great crowds attempt to cling to the few trains that leave here dally, and soldiers often pul? some of the refugees from the cars, frequently separating families, some members of which havs managed to secrete them selves between the cars. Typhus has appeared in many places and the hospital superintend ent at Samara said the other day the only way to handle the situation was to segregate those who have been stricken. They receive rations when food to available, but there 1s no aoap. Five hundred sick children were found grouped In one building In Sa mara. Some of them were seen eat ing leaves from shrubs, while others were lying about on dirty beds, more dead than alive. Moat of these chil dren were so ashen and emaciated that they resembled .old men and Germane Among Harare.
