To an Associated Press eorre s pondent Zensky related recently tht difficulties of being a hermit dur ing a revolution, and spoke of hi. adventures gurlng the numerous cban&s of regimes and the famine year in the Crimea. “The' famine here was very argute,"..lie said. "The land had been devastated by civil war and numer ous rlfdngs. It completed the ruina tion, and carried away a large por tion of the population which wqg already depleted by the upheaval and by terror. "I lived here quite happily from 1913 until tlje beginning of 1918. Then the Germans raidod my little farm, and later the Bolshevists. I nnd to take refuge in town, where I lived in hiding fer a couple of months until I was able to secure from the authorities a guarantee of safety’ paper. My live stock and cattle, which were confiscated dur ing the period of my absence, were given back to me on my return, but they were unfit fpr work. Other changes of regimes, coupled with in numerable Tartar,risings, have each had their intererts, and now tire result is quite evident.” Pointing to a pile of timber and short beams in a corner of the room Zensky said: "That, together with this little lrut and one cow, is all that remains of my farm; all I have to leave to my family.” “Please tell the American pen plo,” continued Zensky, "that tire Crimean population'greatly admirer the disinterested and self-sacrificing Work of the American Relief Ad ministration, as well as the humani tarian feelings of the American pea plo.
