Desolation is written large on the rolling prairies which stretch away on every side of this little village in the heart of the famine region of the Volga. Cattle and horses have cropped the sparse herbage until the very grass roots have been eaten and the hot winds that blow across the waste raise great clouds of dust from the parched fields. The winter wheat must be sowed soon, but nowhere has there been any preparation for the fall seeding. It Is the general prac tice for the farmers to sow their wheat by September 15 but that date will find the fields lying fal low, for there are no horses to plow the ground and the people are unable to secure seed for the next harvest. The leaves that still cling to the trees are gray, and even the peasants look gray, be ing clad mostly In khaki uniforms and grain Backs and wearing san dals made from birch bark. This village formerly had a population of 1000, but forty per cent of the people have left. Deaths from hunger have been numerous, the peasants say but there are no detailed figures avail able. Peasants here are pessimistic over the coming of relief. They Bay -that aid will reach them too late. Pure rye braad costs 3000 rubles a pound, while meat costs 3000 rubles per pound and only a few of the wealthy people are able to buy. Everywhere the Associated Press correspondent has traveled through Samara province he has seen ragged women fhd children gathered In groups discussing the famine. Food is the sole topic of conversation. The men are busy hauling loads of tree boughs for use as fodder for their starving cows and horses. 50 feet without encountering the walls of the vein. The outcroo ' ping near the edge of the lako ha developed, it is said, into a rich pocket of gold. The vein is in a greenstone for mation, and the mineralization is in porphyry, with quartz string ers. An attractive feature Is the evident continuty of free gold the length and width of the dyke, starting from the gold pocket from which specimens of 50 per cent were taken. Illinois Miners March On City iMizabethtown, 111., Sept. S. Miners of the coal fields cf Eldo rado and Harrisburg were report ed today preparing to continue their march on this city and Kosi I clare, ten miles away. i'Larp l clashes between the vanguard 'f the miners and the sheriffs out posts were reported yesterday nud the two towns slept last nihc with a cordon of 150 deputies scattered through the outskirts. The miners contingent number ed about 800 last night, but rein forcements were expected during the night. Nothing is known of the nlners plans, even if they succeeded In reaching this city, althouish the general purpose of the march, they said, was "to aid" striking Fluor spar miners in this district. These miners charged that mine and county officials have put them un der the rule of arms and in some cases driven them frora tneir homes. Great Vein of Gold Found in Canada The Pas, Man., Sept. 8. Sensa tional reports reaching here of the gold discovery at Elbow Lake havfl caused a rush of prospectors to the region. From surface showings, many believe the largest 1 ody of gold ore on the continent has been tap ped. The containing dyke has been stripped of overburden for a length of 350 feet and a width of Typhoid Epidemic Caused by Salad Served at Picnic Trenton, N. J., Sept. 8.

The board stat ed that 185 virulent cases involv ing 116 homes located in 23 mu nicipalities were due to the salad. Four hundred persons were serv ed at the supper. British Reply Asks Irish To Confer Again Inverness, Scotland, Sept. 8. Official confirmation that the British cabinet's reply to the latest note from Earaonn DeValera, the Irish leader, which was dispatched to Dublin last evening invites rep resentatives of the Sinn Fein to a further conference, was given here today. Dublin, Sept. 8. Signs of confi dence were again apparent among the Sinn Fein leaders here today. Thev have received knowldge of th contents of Prime Minister Lloyd-George's reply to Eamon De Valena, which will be made pub lic here tonight at the same time that the uote is given out by the British. So far as could be judged the Irish leaders were not disturb ed or surprised by Mr. Lloyd George's communication. The Sinn Fein leaders have been showing some irritation at what they call misrepresentations in the British and American press of their position in the negotia tions. The elaborate arguments tn their notes and in the Irish Bul letin, they declare, were not in tended to convey the impression that they had rejected dominion statute and insisted on separation. Their willingness to enter the British commonwealth on satis factory terns they say they con sider to have been plainly Indi cated. The substitution of direct ver bal argument, face to face with the British ministers, for ex change of notes would be wel comed, the Sinn Fein leaders declare.

Argentina Definitely Out of League Buenos Ares, Sept. 8. Rejec tion by the assembly of the lea gue of nations of amendments to the covenant of the league pro posed by Argentina may be fol lowed by the withdrawal from the league of certain American republics, it Is learned here in re liable sources. Belief is expressed that Chile will be among them. Argentina withdrew from the first assembly when her amendments were not accepted. Reports from Geneva stating that the committee on amend ments had rejected the one pro posed by Argentina, providing that all sovereign states should be members of the league unless they voluntarily abstained from membership undoubtedly meant, Foreign Minister Pueyrredon said last night, rejection of that par ticular amendment by the assem bly. Such action would result In the absolute and permanent sep aration of Argentina from the league, he declared. Senor Pueyrredon declared the league was "dead," explaining he did not believe lt could survive under the "present undemocrat ic system of organization In which there Is an equality of duty, but not an equality of power." "The possibility of a new world association of nations growing out of the Washington conference for a limitation of armaments de pends upon the United States," he continued. "That country holds the key to the situation."
