PETROGRAD CITY OF MISERY
Incident Recorded by Maxim Gorky
Reveals Frightful Conditions in
the Great Russian Capital.

Maxim Gorky has written several
sketches of human interest bearing on
events in the Russian revolution,
which appear in a recent number If
the Suddeutschen Monatshefte Among
them the following adventure of
young woman in the streets of Petro-
grad late at night. written in Gorky's
characteristic style:
A young woman tells me:
Il was with my sick sister until late
and left her at midnight TO go home,
just when all the lights in the streets
were extinguiShed. The streets were
dark and ghostly figures stood in
dOOrways-one could not tell whether
they were watchmen or robbers. As
hurried along 1 suddenly heard
heavy steps behind me. l looked
around fearfully. A man in military
uniform, slender and with pale face
and hollow eyes. was following me-
There was nobody else in sight and
no signs of a cab. The man continued
following me like fate My God, l
thought. is he going to rob me or. per-
haps, do something even worse? l took
my gold bracelets from my arms and
hid them in folds of my dress. He APP
preached me, and in a soft, sad mu-
steal voice. said:

Il made no reply, but hurried on.
He, however kept pace beside me.
" You are afraid of me-?
Leave me, leave mer l cried
He laughed-a forced. tragic laugh,
and said:
Don't you see l simply want to
ask for aims? l have not had a bite
TO eat in two days. l am an officer
and a respectable man. But, by God.
if 1 don't get anything to eat will not

know you can"
Il looked steadily at him now.
Never will l forget those hollow, hun
CRY eyes and the teeth showing under
small black mustache. 1 opened my
purse and put some money in his ex-
tended palm.
But where are you going to get
something to eat at this time of the
night?' l said. All stores and shops
are closed. Come with me and l will
prepare some coffee for you. 1 also

Canadians and the Arctic

Nilhjalmur StefanssOn is a Canadian
Icelander. He is of Subarctic descent,
born in Manitoba. His name does not
appear in the exploration records of
any who's Who" published in Can
ada. He is known to most people as
the man who discovered the blond
EskimOS. But this was the least
achievement, says the Canadian Cou-
rier. What Stefansson and Captain
Bernier, Canadians, have done most
of all is to demonstrate that Canada
has an Independent original claim to
the fruits of exploration in her own
share of the arctic. Canada has the
worlds record for arctic coast line.
Russia and Scandinavia have all that
Canada has not. Canada's right of
eminent domain in the arctic is
marked by the British flag; and if his
advice is followed by the government
trade may follow the flag, even in the
arctic. When we come to commercial
