ADVRILTJS3 IN THE NEWS
Syzran, Russia—There was a time
when Syzran was the most colorful
city along the Volga, but that time I s
gone. Today it is crowded with dust-
begrimed peasants, who group them
selves Into gray masses in their search
for food.
There was n time when the air was
filled with a perfect babel of tongues—
the languages of the Kalmucks, Mon
gols, Tartars, Chinese r.nd Russians
but the crowds that throng the streets
of the city at present are mute. Even
the laughter of children has been si
lenced In the despair that has settled
over these tens of thousands, who s.t,
crossing themselves, and wait for
what seems to be the Inevitable.
Pictures of Grim Misery.
Pictures of misery seen here are du
plicated in Samara, Simbirsk, Saratoff,
Tsarltzln, and every other city In the
famine-stricken valley of the Volga.
Docks and railroad stations are piled
high with the belongings of the refit
gees, who were driven from their land
by the drought und the clouds of
grasshoppers that destroyed even the
meager grain that hud defied the heat
of the terrible summer now drawing
to a trnglc close. Committees are try
ing to move the refugees to othei
points where there Is some promise
of food, but It is necessary to use
ihe limited river and railroad trans
portation facilities to send seed grain
into the country and to bring bread
into the famine districts.
Many professional lycgg-irs of the
gypsy type are to lie found here and

Russia, but the starving farmers ask
