voyages to their home lands has not
been made known.
The autocrats of all the Russians
on the transport were Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman. his
boon companion for thirty years.
With them were 245 men and two
women-Ethel Bernstein and Dora
Lopkin. None knew where they
would debark
The voyage will last eighteen days
unless it is prolonged by unfavor-
able weather. The presumption is
that the Buford will land at Hange,
Helsingfors, or Abo in Finland,
which are connected by rail with
Bielo- -Osporoff on the Russian from
tier. 1t was intimated in official
quarters that arrangements have
been made with the Finnish govern
ment to permit the passage of the
Russians through that country.
The transfer from Ellis Island to
the Buford of the agitators who
have preached death and destruc-
tion was an event unique in the an
nails of this nation.
Few of Them Weep
While the anarchists had pro-
fessed joy at the thought of re-
turning to Russia, n few of them
wept and most of them seemed
downcast as they stepped on board

through the darkness of the harbor

they huddled on deck.
"Good-by America" sobbed Miss
Bernstein. as the tug plowed past
the State of Liberty with her light
ed torch held proudly aloft. She
was leaving behind Samuel Lipman,
her fiance, facing twenty-year
term in the Atlanta penitentiary for
violating the espionage law.
Berkman was defiant to the last
and threatened secret service men
as he stepped from the soil of the
United States.
We're coming back and We'll get
you," he muttered, embellishing his
statement with curses.
ITO hell with America" came in
deep bass voice from the aHarch-
lists tug as it passed n boat crowd
ed with more Department of JUS
tice men.
The chant of Long live the rev.
olution in the United States" was
started by Peter Bianky. general
secretary of the Union of Russian
Workers, as the Buford got under
way.
AS soon as they were informed
that they would be out of the coun-
try before dawn the male anarch-
lists at the island formally organized
the First Soviet Anarchistic Com

Berkman grand commissary." He
bossed the preparations of all in
the large detention room and no
monarch was ever more readily
obeyed. All stood up when he en-
tered the room. The members of
the Commune obeyed him so
promptly that guards transmitted
their orders through him. In khaki

high Russian boots, he was the CEN

The Commune took half a million
dollars in American money with it
Berkman said the cash possessions
averaged $4,000 each.
Miss Goldman said her plans after
she reached Russia were indefinite,
other than that she would immedi-
ately organize the Russian Friends
of American Freedom" to carry on
propaganda in the United States.
This government has signed its
death warrant in these deporta-
tions," she said. This is the begin
ming of the end of the United States
government. I am not going to stop
my work as long as life rests with
me. The Car never resorted to such
methods as the United States is
using in this first deportation of
political agitators."
