HOPELESS GROUPS OF REFUGEES CROWDING
 WHARFS

Astrakhan, Russia, Oct. 4.-(By The A. P.)-Hopeless groups of fam inc refugees crowd the wharves of Astrakhan, which in happier times were filled with the tides Of com@ merce flowing to and from Russia and the Trans-Caspian plains. Bit ter rains of autumn are. falling all most continually, and the first snow the roofs of the buildings of the city, but the throngs of emigrants have no shelter while they wait, perhaps vainly, day and night for tranSporta- where they can obtain food. Astra- khan is a city of misery and suffering and death.
 The traveller who has seen Russia and the Russians in times of plenty expects to meet with a rosy round faced people when he again enters the country. Disillusionment is in store for him, however, for every where he sees thin faces, the skin of which is seemingly stretched tight across the cheek bones. He remem- bers Astrakhan as a city filled with industries and commerce, but he self. Its caviar and fishing industries are estimated to have dwind1ed near ly 70 per cent. where once, 2,000 ships daily sailed up and down 1y 100 on that stream.
 Death seems to dog the footsteps of the refugees. They are fleeing from starvation, but many hungry children and adults die from the first food they eat

 cause of the present terrible condi- ton of~affairs the inevitable answer iS:
 There has been no rain.'' The only ray in the gloom is the fact that the potato crop was slightly larger than usual and for the moment this crop is helping in the solution of the dire problem of hunger.
 Medicines cannot be found. In the entire province of Astrakhan which arc only 500 grains of quinine, it is declared. The correspondent of The Associated Press has visited several homes where malaria patients are 1y- irg. In each he has found the moth CTS or wives of sufferers sitting in blank despair saying:

 Along the western coast of the Caspian, stands the island of Shi1oi where Sne of the grimnest tragedies of the famine was recently enacted. Mariners noticed the lighthouse on the island was darkened, and landed to investigate They found in the lighthouse the 12 keepers all dead from starvation. They had eaten their shoes and had boiled fur skins to maintain life, and one by one they had succumbed, the light going out when the last of the twelve sank in death.
