of soviet Russia, Emma Goldman.
Alexander Berkman and 247 other
radicals depOrted from the United
States as undesirable aliens was
speeding Sunday night towards Teri
jOki. about two miles from the from
tier. Finnish white guards are sta
toned on each car platform. Thirty
of the radicals are in each car.
The business OF transferring the
party from the United States army
transport Buford. which brought tho
undesira bles to HangO, TO the spe-
cial train was quickly accomplished.
The officials aboard the Buford
were so well satisfied with the
preparations made by the Finnish
officials that it was decided not TO
send a military detachment with the
party. nor did immigration COmmis-
sioner Berkshire consider II neces-
sary to accompany it. The Buford
is expected to sail for Antwerp on
Monday.
Party Confident.
The officers of the Buford inform
ed the correspondent that there was
not any reason 10 believe the bolshe-
Wiki would refuse any member of
the party. The deportecs themselves
did not appear apprehensive. Emma
Goldman saying she believed the
bolsheviki had been informed OF
their coming by courier, and that
she though her old Chicago friend
''BHl" Shateoff, now military com
missioner Of Petrograd. would prob
ably be at the frontier TO receive
the party Both the Buford's off
GERS and the radicals are confident
that the party will be permitted to
enter soviet Russia by the direct
route across the bridge near Teri
joki.
Berkman's final words 20 the cor
respondent as he boarded the train
were: We'll, boys, l hope TO see
you soon in a free country" waving
his hand eastward toward Russia.

future plans.

Each member of the party Is pro-
