FMR. GEORGE KENNAN's second il
Illustrated paper in his Siberian Series
will appear in the June Century under
the title of plains and prisons Of West
Siberia 1t will contain a description
of the writer's inspection of the for
warding prison at Tiumen, built to ac-
cOmmodate 800 prisoners, where at the
time of Mr.. Remnants visit, l74l men
and women were imprisoned. In rooms
built to accommodate not more than 80
men, 100 were sleeping. Il breathed
as little as could while l was there
says Mr.. KEENAN,, but every respira-
ton seemed to pollute my very soul, and
| became faint from nausea and lack of
oxygen. 1t was like trying to breathe
in an underground hospital drain" Mr..
KEENAN, gives one a good idea of the
enormous size of Siberia by stating that
It's territory would contain the United
States, including Alaska, with all Of the
states of Europe except Russia, and
there would still be 3OO,O 900 square miles
to spare,
