Six Members Announce
Resignations When Res
olution Fails
MKDKOUD, May 5. Klz members
of tho Mcdford post of tho American
legion publicly announced their res-
Ignatlons from that organlutlon fol
lowing n meeting Tuesday in which
a resolution condemning lawlessness
and violence was dofcatcd'by close
vote. Tho resigning members In a
public statoment declared one of
them had been threatened supposedly
by tho Ku Klux Klan.'for supporting
thrf same resolution at a previous
meeting, and that under the clrcum
stances they felt they could not con'
slstcntly retain membership In an or
ganization which refused to go on
record tor what they regarded as the
fundamentals of good cltlicnshlp and
truo Americanism.
According to somo members of the
legion who opposed the resolution,
they did so not because they approv
ed of the Ku Klux Klan, but because
they believed tb0 organization should
not tnko nny stand on such a contro
versial question.
Colonel 1'. K, Kolley and Colonel
Gordon Voorhles, both ot whom, taw

tho resigning members.

VOLGA DEATH TOTAL
IS ESTIMATED AT
NEARLY 15,000,000
Los In Home Fnr North Districts
Kstlmatc-J n High ns 03 I'cr
Cent of Population
SAMARA, Russia, May C. Only a
complete, careful census ot the sur
vivors would reveal tho exact toll In
human, lives of tho Volga famine ot
1921-192!, but, tcrriblo as has been
the death rato during tho ghastly
wlnter Just ending. It is now clear to
tbo observer that tho great majority
ot the population has, soma way or
anothor. managed to live through It. i
Estimates "and predTcUohs' "msTde
last summer, that 5,000,000, 10.000
000 or even 13,000,000 of tho Volga
valloy's population would die before
spring unless fed from abroad, and
that several millions would die re
gardless of tho nsslstanco then being
rushed toward them, ar not borne
out by tho evident facts that con
fronted tho correspondent in a fort
night's trip through somo of tbo
(worst affected districts at tho worst
period of tho famine.
In somo villages tarthest removed
from tbo railways, actual cannibal
ism has In some cases been resortod
to by the hungor-desporato popula
tion and tho general suffering has
been 30, 40 and even us high ns C5
percent ot tho population. Famine
such as this, howover, has been tho
exception, rathor than tho rule, .In
Saniaru province.
Doubtless many thoutands would
havo died Iu every "volost." or coun
ty, had not Amer.ican and other aid
been at hand for tho children. Tho
8ovlct government as well as foreign
organizations ha.i assisted tbo local
peasant authorities and has doled out
Its meager store ot food In the com
munes which needed It most.
Dut It now appears that It was the
very nature physically nnd meutul, of
tbo Volga peasant that enabled him
lo llvo through n your of stomach
gnawing hunger that would linvo tak
en much heavier toll among a popula
tion Iqs.i Inured to hardships from
childhood.
Hundreds ot thousands ot thorn
havo died In Samara provlnro which.
before tho famine, had a population
ot 2,700,000. Perhaps the death rato
has boen 10 or oven IS percent, but
tho majority of tho peasant stomucliB
havo digested tho clay, grass, woods
ana otner nrcad substitutes.
Even from tho worst-stricken vill
ages, tho peasants who canio to tho
Tullwuy stations driving caiuols,
horses and oxen attached to sleighs to
bo laden with food for their child
ren, as a wholo uppoarod ruddy,
strong and oven fcmfling after a fclx
month's diet or atrocious bread sub
stitutes that would havo put nn Amer
ican city dweller In a hospital In a
week and In tho graveyard in a fort
night, Somo ot thorn, moro canny than
the others, doubtlosa hod saved and
hidden real grain to last the?)
through tho winter, but thu major
ity of those living umlorwcnt tho
age-old test of tho survival of tlio
physically fittest aud wero helped
through it by tholr fatalism that
taught thorn not to worry overthelr
troubles, ,
