Astrakhan, Russia
Seems Like New
Orleans About 1866

Astral<han,, Russia, Jan. 4-(By
Mail. )-Once prosperous but now
ravaged by revolution. the situation
OF this city reminds the visitor of the
condition of New Orleans after the
Civil War. 1t is trying to regain its
former prosperity but the process is
Slow. Even in position Astrakhan
resembles New Orleans in some
ways. The city is pitched ON an is
land on point where the Volga river
divides intosmany smaller streams
forming delta that extends 60 miles
to the Caspian sea.
The commerce of Astrakhan was
once comparable with that of St.
Louis. Memphis. on of New Orleans
1t was rich III furs, in fish, in caviar
and busy handling freight which
traN9rscd the Nolga. There was once
food for every mouth and clothes for
every back, work aplenty for every
man.
Today are seen the wrecks wrought
by combat, between the imperial and
revolutionary forces, but no sympa-

I'VE have had enough" said one of
the workmen who, together with
thousands of hi; fellows and for IS
days. just after the Petrograd and
Moscow risings in 1917, took u arms
and besieged the Cossacll troops and
the wealthy people of tho city. gath
cred in the Kremlin wallis in soldier
barracks. and other points at the
heart of the business district.
The immediate result of these IS
days of carnage was the destruction
of the Duma buildings, the Govern
or's house, the great bazaar. and
several blocks of stores filed with
drygoOds and Persian and Turkestan
carpets, silks and other fineries.
The ultimate result is indicated by
the bare, fire burned walls today
standing gaunt and cherries, with
no work on the river and no food in
the homes for these workmen. The
people have little money to buy any
thing.
The spirited horses which once
flied the horse market at the river
