FAMINE STORIES
FROM RUSSIA
NOT ALL TRUE
American Found Plenty Of
Food First Two Weeks
of Travel.

Samara, Oct. 13.--(By a Staff Cor
respondent Of the Associated Press.)-
The whole truth about the famine be-
comes readily apparent after observa-
ton here. Reports, of millions Of
people eating grass Or lying in a dying
condition on he banks OF the Volga
river or migrating en- masse are rather
far-fetched.
Entering b famine area. the cor
respondent had provided himself with
canned meats and hard bread put was
not compelled to use any OF 1t in the
first two weeks of travc as food was
always available at reasonable prices.
People do not die of hunger in one
week. 1t takes months Of underfeed-
ing. Then they reach the point where
they are Unable to cat food at all.
Their hands, feet and ston1achs begin
to swell or they succumb to an cpl
delnic of malaria OF else the new dis
ease described as aneuria, no cure for
which Is known here. Or they may
be killed by cold winds, SHOWS and
rains which have been setting in for
the past two weeks, with each hour
taking a toll of hundreds.
The people of the provinces Of Sa-
mara. Ka1an and Simbirsk are in a
starving condition. In these three
provinces there are probably SOC, 900
children and 100000 adults who
must die before Christ
Feeding 20o,o 900 Children.
The American relief administration
is feeding barely 200 900 children but
Is giving no food to the adults. One
button will be to cheaper prices and
check III boarding Of foodstuffs.
n Moscow government appears to
be unable to sem food into this dis
trict owing to lack Of money and poor
organization. Also the typical Russian
indiferences to misery is evident.
The correspondent while sitting on
throughout a long. cold night, wait
ing for a train, saw a barefooted, little
insane girl tripping along. but the
train hands and other refugees let her
wander unaided until she drifted past
the Red sentry into a waiting room
already filled to overlooking with sew
eral thousands of persons lying asleep
on the floor.
Used to Starvation.
A member. Of the local soviet who
lived in the United States for seven
years showed no pity. but said: you
foreigners do not realize how much
our peasants cal stand. Tey are used
to starvation"
The famine area does not present
a forhidding aspect, except in the
fields from which no harvests were
obtained. The meadows and grazing
lands showed many herds Of horses
and cattle. The villages seemed alb
normally quiet, yet their workers were
abroad putting in winter rye and
wheat. To the visitor they made the
customary charge that If it had not
been for the soviet acquisitions their
crops would have been sufficient.
Now u only hope for bread is
America" they say; yet many know
they must die by winter and accept
their fate with stoicism.
Why leave our homes and go die
on h railway sta~tions?" many. of
