"For some travellers the Transsiberian

Czechs. They read and studied They were
always busy-even before their clashes with
the Bolsheviki began to take up some time.
The Y. M. c. A. had secretaries with some
OF the trains and sent supplies of literature
and games. The Bohemians are the cham
pion gymnasts Of the world, and athletic
contests were arranged at every station, un-
til at the call of a bugle the train would
pull out, picking up sweating, happy men

AT the larger stations we spent some

chance for the Czechs to mix with the Rus

experience Years ago I crossed Persia 1t

fallen upon the land. The people were mis-
