Zyzran, Once Most
CoIorful City Along
volga, Now Barren

Zyzran, Russia, Sept. 6.-There
was a time when Zyzran was the
most colorful city along the Volga,
but that time is gone. Today 1t
is crowded with dust-begrimed
peasants, who group themselves
into a gray masses in their search
for food. Even the laughter OF
children has been silenced in the
despair that has settled over these
tens of thousands, who sit, cross
ing themselves and wait for what
seems to be the inevitable.
Pictures Of misery seen here
are duplicated in Samara Sim
pirsk Saratoff, Tsaritzin and every
other city in the famine stricken
valley of the Volga. Docks and
railroad stations are piled high
with the belongings of the refu-
gees who were driven from their
land by the drought and the
clouds of grasshoppers that de-
stroyed even the meager grain
that had defied the heat Of the
terrible summer now drawing 10
a tragic close.
Markets have sprung up, musn-
room like, here and there about
the refugee camps, offering FOR
sale vegetables, bread, flour and
meat. They are surrounded by
hungry people, who have no
money to offer, but who exchange
wedding rings, fur coats, caps
kettles, pans, boots and other
small possessions.
Large peasant families arrive
in a state of exhaustion, thelI
carts being dragged by camels and
starved horses. In the carts are
sameoyars, talking machines, con
certinas and American sewing
machines, which are bartered fol
food or for coffins. Some markets
are under armed guard, but this
appears to be unnecessary as the
peasants are too weak and pas
sive to take violent measures.
