upon their horses, cows and sheep to fur
nish them their livelihood. During the
past six months they have lost 800, 900
sheep, 100000 horses and at least 500, 900
COWS.
Feeding Their Roofs TO the Cattle.
When the famine was at its worst they
had nothing to feed their stock, and they
tore the thatch off their huts and kept them
alive for months on this sort of food. The
peasants hut has a kind of box-like room
under this ridge roof of thatch, and this
could be done and still leave a comparative
" sheltered place for the family. The ami
mails ate this thatch greedily. It is made
of straw, and it is on many of the houses
fully is inches thick. When it was not too
old it formed a fairly good food, but the
.upplv was so scanty that hundreds of
thousands of the cattle were almost dead
before the grass came in the spring, and the
blowing had to be done. The horses would
pull the pillow for a yard or so and then lie
down almost dead in the furrow, and it
would be perhaps a half hour before they
could be reused up TO stagger on for another
few wards and then lie down. Both cattle
and horses were killed by the people for
food, and in the winter horses were sold for
s. apiece for which the people could have
gotten $50 and 500 the summer before.
Germans came in and bought horses on
speculation, and much stock was shipped
out OF the country. In SaratHv nearly half
of the horses which the Pro nee had last
year have disappeared. The eakness and
the loss of the stock NATURAL pecessitated

The address of Atthalin was not in the vol

the men who had charge of it and who aided
in its distribution. 1 am now travelling
with DR.. J. B. Hubbell, of the American
Red Cross Society, and we have visited
many of the districts to which our supplies
were sent As lar as 1 can find every bit of
the American gifts have been wisely and
conscentiously distributed, and here at
Samara the authorities would not give even
samples of the corn to people who wanted
them for planting, but who were not in o
starving condition. There were manv such
applications, but all were refused with the
statement that they could get such samples
if they wished from the peasants by giving
other food or an equivalent for them, but
that the corn came from America for the
people and every grain of it should go to
them. was told that this food had saved
the lives of thousands.
The German CoIonists Suffered Worst.
This was especially SO among the German
colonists, OF whom there were more than
hundreds of THOUSANDS on the verge OF starv-
efion. The Russians are very clannish and
they believe in taking care of their own
people first. The result is that Of the hun
dreds of millions of dollars given BY the
Russian people and by the Government
very little if any went to the Germans.
Said Mr.. Jacob Mueller, a German of
means living in Sarstov, who has devoted
both his time and money. during the past
winter to the famine: isThe American sup
plies saved the lives of our people. They
came Just at the right time There was Just
enough of them to help us out and not a bit
too much. 1t seemed as if the good God had
managed it through you for US. %
A part of the Iowa corn reached Russia
in a very bad condition. One compartment
of the hold was filled with corn which had
heated and 1t was steaming when it was
taken out There was no place to be found
in Riga where the corn could be dried and
it was put into the cars and rushed off to
the famine districts. Care was not taken to
keep this corn separate from some of the
good corn and a number of carloads were
spoiled. Some of the spoiled corn came to
Samara and another lot of it went to Sara
tov. The best of it was dried and given to
the people for food and the rest was used
for the cattle.
The effect of the famine on stock of all
kinds has been terrible. This Province OF
Samara is about as large as the State of
New York. 1t is to large extent stock
raising country, and the people depend

than usual, and though in many parts of
Russia through which 1 have travelled the
crops are comparatively good there can
hardly be enough to keep the people during
the coming year without the aid OF the
Government or outside help. The horses
of Russia are among the finest in the world
and the meat of the country will compare
iavorably with that of England In this
region, however, such horses as see show
the effects of the famine still, and you can

find it hard to give an idea of the famine
situation in Russia, the Russian peasants
are so different in every respect from the
people of the rest of the world. They live
differently, they are governed differently
and they do their work and manage their
affairs after different manner from the
farmers of Europe or the United States
Their wants are so small that 2 cents a day
per person has kept thousands alive during
this famine, aud at Sartov I was told that
IS a dav had been the total cost of feeding
400 people for weeks. This was among the
Catholic Germans, and they each got one
and half pounds of black bread day
apiece, and this furnished at cost amounted
to cents In some places I found soup
kitchens giving dinners at IN cents meal,
and such kitchens are now established in all
the towns.
Think of feeding man on go or 20 cents
q month and you get an idea of how these
people have been living during the past
winter. This gave them rye bread and
water with cabbage soup, and in some Of
the districts they did not even have this
In parts of this Province of Samara they
made bread of dried grass mixed with Q
little bit of rye, and have seen specimens
of this. The same sort of bread was made
in Kazan and Nijni-Novgorod A decent
American horse would turn up its nose at
it. In parts of Saratov the dead cattle and
horses were made into soup, and at one
place 200 gallons OF water, 40 pound of rye

who sold big loaves of black bread as large
as a dish pan to such as could buy. Every
loaf sold was weighed first and parts of
loayes were sold at so much a pound. In
company with the architect of the Govern
ment visited the relief works and watched
the men at their labors. They worked as
hard as any laborers have ever seen, and
when asked as to the hours thev put in for
this Is cents day 1 was told that the
day was the usual Russian laboring day
during the summer.
"And what is this?" I asked
''From o'clock in the morning until
o'clock at night" was the reply.
"That seems to me to be q very long
day." said L
''Ohr' replied the architect, "they don't
work all of that time. They have two hours
off at noon"
Still this gave the men Il hours of work,
and as looked at them digging and wheel
ing, while the sweat rolled down their
faces, cheerfully putting in this time at less
than cents an hour could not help think
ing of our workmen, who are hardly salts
fed with 81 for eight hours of similar work.
Still 25 cents is good wages here, and you
can hire men in good times for this sum.

and hind quarter of a dead horse formed
the materials out of which the soup for the
village was made. Near Mini there were
instances of children biting their arms and
fingers to satisfy their hunger, but I have
so far heard Of no cases of cannibalism,
though such have been reported.
The Mortality Comparatively Small.
The most of the deaths from the famine
have been from typhus and disease, but con-
sidering the vast number of destitute, rang
ing from 80, 600, 900 to A, 10000 the NOR
tality has been comparatively small and
much less than it would have been among
any other people of the world. The diet of
the Russian peasant in the best of times
consists of little more than cabbage soup,
rye bread and potatoes. He gets fat on
pumpkins ard cucumbers and knows but
little of meat. He has now and then a
piece of dry fish and his religion gives him
many fast days, when he does not dare to
drink milk or eat butter.
see everywhere the work of the Russian
Government in behalf of the famine suffer-
ers. 1 do not think that the machinery OF the
Car in managing his people is by any means
perfect. 1 think, in fact, it is far from being
so, and there is probably as much oppres-
sion and corruption going on in the Govern
ment here as in any Government in Christen-
dom. Still, 1 believe in giving tine Rus
SLAMS credit for the good they Are doing and
for the millions they are spending to help
the people. In Mini Novgorod. where 1
first struck the Volga, found about 5000
men at work widening the road and laying
out public parks under the Government
surveyors, and was told their wages came
out of the Government appropriation for
the famine. Along the Volga at this point
the road that rurs below the city of Mini
is about 80 feet wide. It is being widened
to about 100 feet and the hills are being
chopped down and substantial walls built.
These thousands of workmen receive about
25 cents day and board themselves
Scenes Along the River Front.
The streets OF Mini were packed full of
men wanting work and found thousands
sleeping and loa6ng along the wharf under
the blazing sun. Men bareheaded and bare
legged Law with their faces upturned, sleep
ing on the cobble stoLe street next the river
at midday, and women with bags on their
backs and stats in their hands wandered
through the streets asking aims. Here and
there along the roads were bread peddlers,

their churches, on which were painted pict-
ures of the Savior and the saints, and they
marched with their heads down, crossing
themselves as thev went 1t was at the
biggest Russian Church of Samara that this
procession was formed and happened to be
there at the time it came together. saw
perhaps 100 men, women and children
standing about the door and stopped to
photograph them, when the bells rang out
and from all quarters the people began to
assemble. There came hundreds of women
in snort red dresses and long red aprons,
wearing handkercbiefs about their heads,
and these handkerchiefs were of all the
colors of the rainbow. There came hum
dreds of bareheaded bows and bareheaded
girls, and half of the barefoosed women had
bsreheaded babies in their arms. There
came hundreds of barefooted men with
their hats in their hands or with no hats at
all, and through this motley mass marched
a number of bareheaded priests in black
gowns with long black hair hanging down
their backs
The People Praying for Rain.
These entered the church and presently
came out with the holy banners. As they
did so many of the people fell PROSTATE on
tine ground and some bumped their heads
against the cobble stones in alteration.
Every man and woman, boy and girl made
the sign of the cross many times over, and
as the priests moved onward the thousands
of bareheaded, barefooted people went with
them, crossing themselves and praying as
they did so. In this way they marched
throughout the town, and they will now go
to some shrine in the country and there re-
peat their prayers for rain. SAW similar
procession at Volsk the other day and I un-
derstand that the people are praying for
rain all along the Volga They are as a
class very devout and they offer more
prayers in proportion to their population
than any other people in the world.
Much of the American corn and -four
came to Samara, and have had talks with
