TOLL Of FAMINE
NOT So GREAT As
FEARED IN V0LGA
Fatalism and Fortitude Saves
Thousands of Hungry
Russian Peasants.

Samara, Russia.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-Only a
complete, careful census of the surviv-
ors would reveal the exact toll in hu-
man lives of the Volga famine of 1921
1922, but. terrible as has been the
death rate during the CHASTITY winter
server that the great majority of the
population has, some way or another.
managed to live through it.
Estimates and predictions made last
summer, that 10000 600, 100000 0 or
even 100000 of the Volga valleys
population would die before spring un-
less fed from abroad, and that several
millions would die regardless of the
assistance then being rushed toward
them, are not borne out by the evident
facts that confronted the correspond
ent in a fortnight's trip through some
of the worst affected districts at the
worst period of the famine.
In some villages farthest removed
from the railways, where c%annibalism
has in some cases been resorted to by
the hunger-desperate population and the
general suffering has been almost I'M
imaginable to the western mind, the
death rate has been 80; 40 and even
as high as 90 per cent of the popula-
ton. Famine such as this. however.
has been the exception, rather than the
rule, in Samara province.
Doubtless many thousands would
have died in every "volost,' or county,
had not American and other aid been
at hand for the children. The soviet
government as well as foreign organ
i~zations has assisted the local peasant
authorities and has doled out its mea-
Unr Cfnrn -f fnnI IN SL4
which needed it most.
But it now appears that it was the
very nature, physical and mental, of
the Volga peasant that enabled him
TO live through a year of stomach
gnawing hunger that would have taken
much heavier toll among a population
less Injured to hardships from child
hood.
Hundreds OF thousands of them have
died in Samara province which, before
the famine, had a population of g.
100000. Perhaps the death rate has
been 10 or ever 10 per cent, but the
majority of the peasant stomachs have
digested the clay, grass. weeds and
other bread substitutes.
even from the worst-stricken vii
lagos. the peasants who came to the
railway stations driving camels. horses
and oxen attached to sleighs to be
laden with food for their children, as
a whole appeared rudy, strong and
even smiling after a six months diet
of atrocious bread substitutes that
would put an American city dweller
in a hospital in a week and in the
graveyard in a fortnight.
Some of them, more canny than the
others, doubtless had saved and hidden
real grain to last them through the
winter, but the majority of those liv-
ing underwent the ages-old test of the
survival Of the physically fittest and
were helped through it by their fatal
ism that taught them not to worry
over their troubles.

At the Grand theater, Thursday and
Friday, June 8 and 8, William Harris.
Jrs win present John Drtnkwatsr's
play abraham uneon,~ with Frank
McGlynn. In this play the author has
accomplished two things. He has
written q great and impressive play
about a very noble hero and at the
same time he has formed it in such
a manner that it appeals to the aver
age player no less than the man who
is deep in history or playwriting. In
other words, abraham Lincoln" is a
great entertainme nt, and a great play.
"Abhaham Lincoln" is one Of the
great plays of the last 10 years. It
is to be seen in Great Falls played
with the same star, Frank McGlynn,
and with the same company as it wal
in New York. The company to
be seen here next week is the only
company on tour, and it probably will
be the only opportunity Great Falls
theatergoers will have to enjoy the
play for a long time.

Regain Possession

Jack Taylor paid two bits to check
his war medals for a week. He filed
a conversion suit in district court on

he checked a suit case containing
clothing, war relics, his discharge pa
pers from the British army, and four
medals for bravery which were award

holds the medals and discharge papers
to be of inestimable value, he places
a reasonable valuation on them OF
$500, it is said in the complaint.
