evening paper. an article from the
humane society asking persons TO
care for dogs and later thanks were
published for immediate responses.
But hundreds OF starving men who

on floors and in boxcars and beg,
and finally have to steal. There's no

ABANDONED VESSELS POINT TO
 RUIN AND DECAY ON WATERS OF VOLGA

ASTRAKHAN, Russia. Jan. g.. (AP)-Life on the far-famed volga river is slowly ebbing out The great 2,3oo mile yellow stream. once Russa's greatest maritime highway longer courses it's winding way the sound of fsherman's songs. the churnng the wheels of the great excursion steam ers or echoing sirens of the heavily laden cargo boats. The hundreds of villages which drew their life from the river melancholy spritless places for the people are not only faced with wheat famine this year, but their fishing business, which is their chief support is all but dead.
 Where in prewar days the Volga produced two billion pounds of fish and cavier annually, it now yields only one-tenth of that quantity. This is no fault of the river, but of the government to ex- ploit 1t properly. The government at first nation alized the fisheries and, finding that failure. it returned the enterprises to the original owners. But the have found the government taxes too onerous and many of them have abandoned the business altogether. Only 70 of the 800 fisheries which formerly operated at Astrakhan. the cavier depot. have resumed their activities
 But it is in the striking decrease in the number of excursion and cargo that notices the most significant change in the volga. Where previously the river was covered with thousands of commercial and pleasure craft, it now carries
 
 go boats In every bend and inlet in the river the visitor of abandoned excursion steamers slowly sinking to the bottom.
 The few passenger vessels still the stream we'll equipped, but they patronized almost entirely by Russians of the proletarian class. for there few foreigners in Russia and members of the old intellectual regime have no money to make such trips.
 
 One of the most pathetic scenes along the whole course of the river the forests of abandoned fishing boats, whose slender masts. point to the sky like huge fingers be calling to Heaver to witness the death of their ancient respected industry. Their owners have turned to more lu crative Billings
 In the absence of fishermen one sees groups o sailors and longshoremen. who invariably complain of bad times and low Work is difficult tt obtain. and the longshoremen therefore are will ing to discharge huge cargoes from vessels at tn. ridiculous Tate of cent for every hundred pounds
 Nature also seems bent completing the econ omic doom of the historic river. for everywhere huge beds of moving sand gathering, whicf block the river and imperil navigation The sant dredges are neither numerous sufficiently efhc tent to remove these impedments to river traffic
