STARVING DIE
UNN0T|CED IN
RUSSIAN CITY
Thousands Huddled To-
gether in Tents and
Deserted Buildings.
1t Is Horrible to Watch
Children Shrivel Up
and Die, Says Mother.

Samara, Russia, Sept. 5.-(By The
Associated Press. Hunger and death
go very unnoticed in the neglected
streets and alleys Of Samara Re-
fugees from famine districts near this
city, estimated from thirty to fifty
thousands. are huddled together in de-
serted buildings, unused factories.
tattered tents and in wagons massed
about the open spaces about the rail-
way stations and the docks along the
Volga river.
Hundreds Dying
Hunger, typhus, cholera and e1haus-
ton are carrying off hundreds of these
miserable fugitives, young children fall
ing victims readily to the famine and
its attendant scourges. Ragged refu
gees are constantly carrying pine cof
fins toward the cemetery. where un-
painted wooded crosses mark the hun
dreds of new graves which have been
dug since the flight before the ad-
vancing famine began. From fifty to
one hundred starving children are
gathered up daily from the streets, OR
turned over to the central refugee, be-
cause the parents cannot feed them.
Many of these little sufferers have
typhus fever, but the hospitals are
without beds and medicine.
Samara's only newspaper, a single
sheet of brown paper, has printed an
announcement that the American Re-
lief administration workers have reach
ed Moscow and that 100000 tons Of
American food is enroute to Russia.
The discouraged and hungry popula-
ton, however, is loath to believe that
aid will come and with Russian stole
ism, the thousands of peasants moving
through this great railway center are
camping along the highways and en-
deavoring to obtain railway rides to
any place where food may be secured.
Travel Difficult
Although transportation is difficult,
Nj. Soksolsky said the entire peasant
population of 100000 would be de-
pendent upon outside food by Novem-
ber Already 100000 peasants are
without bread, this number including
$4,000 children who have been placed
in soviet homes.
Conditions at Senayenkena, village
80 miles from Samara and remote from
railway or river communications, are
typical of the misery existing through
out the province of Samara The
peasants there are eating bread from
melon rines, and sun flower seeds and
grass seed. !
Mothers Kill Babies |
One mother killed her baby last |
week, saying she could not bear to see |
it starve. Other mothers are threaten |
ing to kill their children. One woman /
with six children said to The Associat-
ed Press:
You know, it takes children so long |
to die. 1t is too horrible to watch !
them shrivel up"
One old woman showed the CORES
pondent loaf of mouldy green bread,
and then, pointing to a flour mill sur
rounded by broken windows she begged |
send us something to grind 1t has
been so long since there has been any
zeal bread"

BERLIN NEWSPAPERS
DECLARE DRESEL MAY
Be NEW MINISTER
Foreign Office of Government
Has No Official knowledge
of His Appointment.

Berlin, Sept. 5.-(By the Associated
Press) The German foreign office is
without confirmation of reports re-
ceived here from London and Paris
that Ellis Loring Dresel is to be ap-
pointed a minister to Germany. The
report was printed in Berlin papers
and resulted in Mr.. Dresel being over
whelmed with congratulations. He stat
ed Monday that he was entirely in the
dark as to the state departments
decision with regard to the Berlin
post or concerning his future dispo-
sition.
DIR. Friedrich Rosen. the foreign
minister is still seeking an ambassa-
dor to the United States who would be
considered true representative of new
Germany. Men of the ambassadorial
stamp which the government has had
in view are out of his reach while
others who have volunteered to fill
the post at Washington are said not to
be finding official favor or receiving
encouragement.
In addition to questions of the am
bassador's personality. one of the chief
questions is the expense or re-estab
fishing the Washington mission. The
German ambassador who would be con-
tent to maintain a modest establish
ment would cost Germany a minimum
of $4,000 year, which may exceed
400. 100000 marks. This would not in
clude the staff or other embassy ex-
pense, even allowing for rigid curtail-
ments in many directions.
Up to the present, no wealthy man
in Germany has volunteered for the
Washington portfolio or if he has he
has not proved himself sufficiently
''unencumbered" to warrant considera-
tion by the cabinet.
