Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sun.
PARIS, April l7.-Maxim Gorky has sent
a telegram to the director Of a French pub
LEGATION for which he is writing his impress
sions Of the United States. The director
suppresses Gorky's bitterest comments, but
leaves enough TO show that the Russian
has formed a bad impression of America
and the Americans.
Gorky says that Americans are the same
splitting, vulgar people that Charles Dickens
found them, and that personal liberty is
as much hampered in America as it is IN
Russia. He realizes that his contemplated
lecture tour is ruined. but says he Is rather
glad than otherwise that it is. for the sooner
he gets out of the wretched country the
better he will be pleased.

clerk, as he displayed an envelope addressed
to Maxim Gorky, New York. That was
not the only thing on the envelope. Across
the top, in fiery red letters, ran the legend,

quotations and signs Of the zodiac.

followed.

funds for the avowed purchase of arms and
ammunition, and that they were successful
in their mission.
