From Far Off Siberia.


: Way back in last year, when the
= patriotic workers at home were
working for the one great cause,
, Mrs. Christina Van BIarcom
knitted sweater for some worthy
soldier. Wishing the receiver
good luck, she pinned her address
TO the sweater. Probably no one
will ever know the course of
travel of this particular sweater
and the hands it passed through,
out the fact remains that it reach
a destination in far-of snow
covered Siberia and the soldier
who received the garment was 80
pleased with his gift that he re-
turned thanks on paper. This,
letter, which expresses his hearty
thanks, was received by Mrs. Van
Blarcom couple of weeks ago.
An effort was mode to have the
letter translated here in Mount
Vernon, but owing to the fact
that the Siberian soldier had com-
bined three languages in the con-
struction OF the mislsve, no trans
lator could be found. Mrs. Van
Blarcom turned the letter over TO
the Herald. 1t was then sent to the
University of Washington. Miss
Simeon, the instructor in Russian,
was able to translate the letter,
Notwithstanding the fact that it
was written in Polish. Czecho-
Sloyak and Russian.
The letter as translated is as

MANY SPAM|ARDS TO
COME TO AMERICAS
FARM HANDS ARE DISSATIS-
FLED WITH NEW METHODS
OF PAYMENT

MADRID, Dec. 16.-Large num-
bers of agricultural workers from
all parts of Spain are awaiting at
Ferrol and other ports for trans
p~ortation to America, both North
and South. This is n of the re-
suits of the new social conditions
brought about in Spain by the war.
and increased wages.
For three years the Spanish
farmer had paid his help about three
pesetas ,(normally so cents) daily
during the harvest. AS this was
just about sufficient for the employee
t subsist upon, the farmer also al
lowed his men and women suffi-
cient to buy food during the win
ter. This amount was decided by
the farmer himself and varied in
proportion to the generosity of the
giver.
Last year the farm hands, like
almost every other class of labor in
Spain, organized a union with the
result that wages during the har-
vest increased from the century-old
three pesetas daily to from Is to
25 pesetas daily. Therefore when
the winter came on and there was
no work, the farmer, instead OF
following the old convention of
handing out doles to his employees,
told them as they were now earn
ing good wages they should save
sufficient to keep themselves during
the winter.
Those who had saved OIL at least
a proportion of them, decided to
move to some country where money
could be earned the year around.

TROIzKyNOWACTS
AS COMMANDER
OF TROOPS
VALID UNLESS o. KID BY
WAR MINISTER

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 17.-Soviet
newspapers declare that Trotzky is
now acting as a military cOmman-
der.
The Pravada states that when
Trotzky was present lately with the
Fourth and Seventh armies he took
part in all the staff discussions and
sometimes enforced his judgment
against opposition with success"
No s~trategical decisions by Tcher-
emisoff, the present bolshevik COM
member in the north, are valid, adds
the Pravada, unless countersigned
by Trotzky.
The Pravada's local correspond
ent writes: Impressive il is to see
our great leader still in the modest
shiny blue trousers which he
brought back from his American
exile, his peasant sheepskin coat
and with no sign of the warrior
about him except his high boots,
riding down the lines welcoming the
proletariat defenders with the old
cry, Hail, children!" and getting
their enthusiastic response Hail
Comrade Trotzky; we are glad to
do our best"
An anti-bolshevik paper, the OBJ
novlenie, spells this idyll by de-
claring that Colonel Pashutin. a
former Tsarist officer, was so in
censed by Trotzky's inexpert criti-
cism that he knocked him off his
horse. Pashutin was Immediately
shot dead by Trotzky's Bashkfr

NEW YORK. Dec. 17.-E1lis
Island, known for years as 1.-THE

subject of a congressional inquiry
by reason of its new character as a
place of detention for hundreds of
anarchists and other dangerous"
radicals. Is really three small islands
in New York harbor about one mile
southwest of Manhattan. Their total
area is approximately 200 acres.
Upon these islands, known as Nos.

buildings of brick and stone, many
of them handsome structures of
four and five stories. used as the
United States immigration station

from July 1 to December l last,
nearly $4,000 aliens entered the

Hundreds of 'undesirables," IL
should be stated, were at the same
time sent back to the lands of their
birth. The immigration service here
employs 372 workers, including in
spectors who board incoming ships.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The wild

not of use in the general scheme of
things. We are all so apt to take a

further peaks beyond.

This reception hall is in the CEN
