CHESTERTON'S VIEWS

thnt a book Of travel depends for It's
interest more on what the traveller
takes with him than on what he brings

Chesterton brought 10 America with
him an Informed mind and certain well
matured social, political and moral
theories. lie has tested America by
these theories and written his conclu.
sons in his book. That it Is brilliant
goes without saying. That his con-
clusions arc sound will be admitted
by some and disputed by others. But
none can escape the charm of his man

Take bis discussion OF prohibition,

for it is certain to be misunderstood.
Yet ono may risk it in commenting
On what nn Englishman has said. AS

icction to our prohibitory laws on the
theory that they were passed on the
demand of tho employers in order to
make labor more efficient, aud thus
make the employers richer. lie says
the employers arc not willing that work
men should have fun, "for, fun only in

SAMARA
SURVIVES FAMINE

BY the Associated Press.
SAMARA, Russia, April 12.-There
is ample live stock in Samara prov
ince to work the fields and harvest
the crop of 1922. despite the fact
that it suffered most severely from
the famine. The rugged. shaggy lit
tie horses, great. groaning camels-
and slow-moving oxen of the famine
regions have withstood the winters
hunger as well or even better than
the sturdy peasants.
In isolated spots totally lacking in
food the live stock is well as the
peopleghaS suffered tremendous NOR
| tality Thousands of draft animals
have fallen dead in the road while
to the villages. Others have been
slaughtered for food, but by far the
greater proportion has gone through
the winter, and now, with green
pasture only a month or SO off. are
in fair shape for work.
30 Per Cent Survive.
NJ Ryazonoff, commissar for aEri-
culture of Samara province. says
there are still more than 100000
head of workable live stock left. or
30 per cent of those available in
1921.
Peasants who have seen members
of their own families and neighbors
die of hunger have saved their cam
els. horses and oxen. Except in vii
lagos where starvation knew no
bounds, they have not killed their
beasts, even when they knew that
few pounds of horse flesh might
mean a weeks life to themselves.
Horses were more precious than
humans. Without live stock no food
he
and the seed for next years crop
would lie useless in the box cars
far from the fields.
Ragweed and other vegetation or
dinarily considered of no food value
have been used for forage. The ami
mails have been able to do only
about half the work that a well fed
beast would do. Most of them, par
ticularly the camels, present a woe
begone appearance.
GrOans Accompany Toll.
These dromedaries groan continu-
ously as they lumber along the snow
roads at a rate of three or four
miles an hour, protesting over every
bump or snowdrift in the rold.
Nevertheless. they drag loads Of
more than a ton fifteen to twenty
miles day. The horses pull at least
half of this load.
Even with the scarcity and dear
ness or forage, the peasants Whom
the correspondent encountered were
not selling their live stock cheaply.i
Before the revolution, good big
work camel in Samara province could
be bought for 40 to SO rubles. This
represented $50 to s25.
The 30,000,000 to 50,000.000 ruples
now asked for camels in a this dis
trict represents only about'half that
amount when figured in gold, but.
compared with prices asked for other
. commodities, live stock is still held
at high figure.
