CAN WORKERS. By Will Shafroth. District Supervisor American Relief Administration in the District of Kamara from Sept. 15, 1921, to May 15, 1982 ¥ the time the American corn ar- B rived to check the eve r-increas- ing toll of death by starvation, transport conditions in the province had become much worse In many places almost all the horses had been killed for food and the few re- maining cows were so weak as to be of no value as draft animals. In the southern part of the Gov- ernment, camels were frequently used and proved more useful than horses, — pulling: twice as much and only requir- ing half the forage. To fee tfeae awkward beasts, with their meticulous step, pull- laden sleds over the slow, ing almost heavily snowy crust was a surprise to me, as I had always associated camels with hot countries. Unfortunately, there was only a relatively small number of them. But despite all difficulties, when the villages were notified they could get corn from our warehouses they got it somehow. Instances occurred at all our dis- tributing points where whole villages came on foot to get thelr rations. I remember such a case in Samara’ A village across the Volga in the Prov- ince of Simbirsk, hearing the food had come, sent a deputation of three hundred men and women to our warehouse. The distance of thirty- five versts—a little over twenty miles -~was traversed in a day anda half, although some of the weaker ones had to be left along the road, to make their way back or die. It was indeed a picture to seo that Procession as it wound out of sight over the hill beyond our warehouse— priests in their long black smocks, |Peasant women with shawls over thelr leads and heavy shubas, men without oats, their feet shod with the usual knee-length felt boots or valinkis, sturdy young girls, weak and wrinkled ‘old men, all of them bent under the weight of a sack containing thirty pounds of life-giving food. 1300 MILES IN THREE WEEKS. ‘The manner in which the corn was landled by the railroads was a sur- prise to us all. The first shipment from Novorossisk to Samara, a dis- tance of 1,800 miles, was en route a bare three weeks. Some of the Odessa trains took considerably longer, and there were times when great conges- tion occurred at key junction points along the way. But the remarkable thing was that at the very period He served during the war with the 78th Field Artillery. of the Samara district Relief Administration in Poland and when thousands of tons of seed were being shipped, for which the utmost speed was necessary, the railroads proved able to liandle our shipments at all and showed no real signs of a complete breakdown, as had been so freely predicted. ‘This continuous ser- vice, however, was achieved only by constant vigilance and pressure on the part of the A. R. A American controllers were estab- lished at principal division points. Moscow A. R. A. headquarters kept up an unremitting demand for ser- vice and more service, speed and more specd, cars and more cars at the ports, and under this constant drive the dilapidated railroads were urged to do the Impossible—and tygy did it! Ships at the ports were’ unloaded before demurrage charges could ac- crue, and often five or six trains were sent off in a day to the famine region from each port. Convoys of Red Army guards left with every train, and although there were losses en route, these were such as had oc- curred in all the Central European operations of the A. R. A., and were much less than might reasonably be theatr THE EVENING WORLD, mate eM many ‘mn were In operation in mara all winter, and one of the former, the opera, we used to visit frequently After getting used to the “unwashed" odor of the spectators which filled the place, the productions were not bad A few French and English speak ing people invited us out and came to our house, and among the few who still had something we were able to enjoy and feel the spirit of that ho: pitality, in which Russians in the oli lays were the kings of the world uit even among these people tl iyety Was more or Jess of a forced nature intruding a cultivated rich, man of fifty English, counter revo! as It always what had be woul for planting, expected. NO CONFISCATION BY GOVERN- MENT, Many false stories have been spread both in regard to this and in regard to the confiscation of American food by the Government authorities. Such re ports are absolutely without basis in fact, and are very evidently sptead as propaganda. Any one acquainted with Mr. Herbert Hoover or the methods he has put into operation in the American Relief Administration knows that no interference by any Government with the food of which his organization has been made trustee by the American people would be tolerated for an in- stant. As a member of the Soviet delega- tion said during the Riga negotiations, “Food is a weapon,"’ and as long as we had the power at any time to dis- continue shipments to Russia, or ship- ments from ports to the famine re- gion, or from central warehouses to sub-warehouses, the authorities could not confiscate food without the cer- tain knowledge that they were there- by depriving themselves of a much €reater amount. During the course of the winter my force had been increased by four more Americans, George C. MeClin- tock of Sunnyvale, Cal.; Louis A. Landy of Cleveland, O.; Henry C. Wolfe, of Coshocton, O., and H. Dud- ley Hale, of New York, making eight in all, of whom three or more were on inspection trips through the districts at all times. We lived in a comfortable, well-fur- nished house, provided for us by the Government. Our cook, an intelligent German woman, bought our provisions in the local market, and with the ex- ception of green vegetables we we amply provided for, though at times the meat proved a bit tough. In Feb- ruary we were given a thirty-room office, newly repaired for us; and the second largest grain elevator in En- rope, with capacity of over sixty thousand tons, was put at our dis- posal for corn storage purposes Our social life was not as limited as might be expected.

MOSCOW A REAWAKENED CITY. On reaching Moscow again after nine months, I found a different city. The dull, weary, hopeless look had gone, and in tte place there was the citing secret of their night meeting, Betty at tea time brought the matter to an issue. “Mrs. Hasmer,"’ she said, “will you ask Mr. Brachey to have tea with bustle of a busy metropolis.

Dr. Hasmer saved the situation by saying quietly: “‘T'll ask him.’ It was awkward from the first. The man was angular and unylelding. And Mrs. Hasmer, though she tried, couldn't let him alone. She was de- termined to learn whether he was married. “Tt must be quite delightful to wan- der as you do,’ she said. “Of course, if one has ties—you, I take it, are an unmarried man, Mr. Brachey."’ Betty had to lower her face to hide the color that came. If only Mrs, Hasmer had a little humor! She was @ dear kind woman, but this The journalist looked tmpassively enough, but directly, at his questioner. She met his gaze. They wero flint on steel, these two natures “You are obviously not married,"’ she repeated. He looked down at his teacup, think- ing. Then, abruptly, he set tt down on the deck, got up, muttered some- thing that sounded like, “If you will excuse me," and strode away. Betty went early to her cabin that evening. She had no more than switched on her ight when the Chinese steward came with a letter. “I was rude again just now," (it began). ‘As I told you last night, {t {8 best for me not to Kee people. I am not a social being. Clearly, from this time on, It wil! be impossible for me to talk with this Mrs, Hasmer. I shall not try again, «6 ¢ “T was married four years ago. After only a few weeks my wife comparatively small number of unoo- cupied shops, many automobiles hoot- ing along at a rapid pace, much fewer people carrying sacks, many more well dressed. Commerce had restored a dying trading place and made it again into a community of our own day and time. The beautiful ballet, which I saw twice, surpassed any production of its kind in Europe—except the Petrograd ballet—and many evening gowns and dinner coats were in evidence there. Restaurants were in full swing. As a farewell to one of my Samara comrades who was in Moscow with me, I took him out to lunch at a cafe called the “Empire.” For a fairly good meal of fish, steak, vegetables, ice cream, coffee and a bottle of red wine, including the tip, I paid 40,000,- 000 rubles. With the dollar at about four million, this seemed putting tt on rather thick, but Moscow recognizes foreigners probably more easily and more gladly than any other place in Europe. PETROGRAD STILL A DEAD CITY. From Moscow I went to Petrograd. It seemed as though it would never recover again its former life and gay- cty. Tt was still a beautiful city, with {ts drives and parks and wonderful Cathedrals, and it had undoubtedly awakened greatly since early fall. But it had not the same busy air as Mos- cow, and around {ts wide streets there was an air of grandeur which had de- parted not to return again. From Petrograd to Helsingfors, in Finland, 1s only an overnight trip. I started out in a private car with some Finnish diplomats. During the trip I thought over the nine months I had spent within the borders of the coun- try, the trials and disappointments, the hopes and fears, the successes and encouragements, the developments which I had seen going on around me. Of all, the thing which will remain longest in my memory and which gives me the most satisfaction is the gratitude with which our help was re-| ure mon spec vans a celved by the people.
