JOHN REED, THE

TrOtZky

Berlin, Feb. 1O.-Thc late John
kcrd American magazine writer,
newspaper correspondent and a lead
.tr Ol Comnunl3S in America won to
Il place in Soviet Russia second to
Lonm and TrOtSky. Mr.. Schwartz. Of
SAN Francisco, Socialist labor organ
'&cl, told the correspondent OF The
Associated Press upon lis arrival
mere from Moscow whore he had
been four months in prison following
his Attendance as delegate to the sec
ond congress of the Third Internal :
ionalc, Reed died in Moscow last
aLtumn.
when ! first went to Moscow some
friends tod me John Reed was
mere" said Mr.. Schwartz. What of
it: | asked, for I had known Reed
in Chicago when, as Il big, good-na
turcd, sincere fellow he had split the
Socialist party over the issue Of com
munisnl, and his being in Russia
didn't particularly interest me. 1t
soon did interest me.
Some of the Russians had aske d
me about the communist party in
America and | had replied we had no
real, organized communist party there
although we had communists. This,
apparently, did not jibc with he
impression Reed had made. That
same day he came, cCatless and
angry, into ,ho dining room where
y" were all eating ana walking up
90 me put his hand on my shoulder
and ~ voice which everyone in the
room could hcar said:
"SchWa;tz did you say there was
70 cOmnGni"t party in .Ancricu? l
was surprised and answered that l
had net said "" had no communists
hut tEar We had no legal communist
party. = IN glad YOU dihn't say H.
Reed declared, still in loud voice,
and walked out Of the room.
shortly after this l WAS given an
exhibition of the power he held over
the administration. l had seen him
tearing through the streets with Le-
nine and Tro.zky and Zinovien i'm
official automobiles, evidently on the
best ot terms. Then Lcninc put
through resolution at the congress
that only Russian, German ana
French should be spoken. Reed heard
about this an hour or so after the
resolution was passed and he came
stamping into the convention in q
rage. lie was "a dramatic figure. lie
wore no coat and his shirt was.opcn
at the collar. He walkcd down the
aisle pointing his finger at Lenine,
who was in the chair, in the mean
time speaking rapidly in English.
English is not to bc spoken here,
Lcnine shouted, rising frOr the chair.
Reed continued in English, declar-
ing there were 27 delegates who
spoke English and English must be
one of the languages of the conven-
ton. I-eninc finally heard him
thruuGh--and revoked the resolution
and made English one OF the ofilcia;
convention languages"
When Reed fell i'll OF typhus ho was
given every possible attention, Mr..
schwartz said. ana when ut last he
died his funeral was remarkably re-
sp!endcnt. He was buried under the
Krcmlin walls.

"chWarZ concluded. He was terri

Joseph Joffre

What have you hid behind that
pile of books?" asked the visitor,
pointing to a desk which was wall
ed in by books.
"Oh, that is Joseph Joffre, one
of my best pupils" answered the
school master smiling. when the
boys and girls begin to whisper or
cut up capers, Joseph stacks up his
books so he can't see them, other
wise they would turn his attention
from his history and arithmetic
lessons"
This shutting away the unimpor-
tant things to make way for the
ones is still a character
istic of General Joffre, Savior of
France" and Hero Of the Marne."

Boyhood Stories of Two Famous Frenchmen
Georges Guynemer

In France. the favorite game Of
the school boys is La petite
guerre," meaning in English, The
little battle"
Georges Guynemer was always
chosen leader in this game because
he had the enthusiasm, quickness
of eye and motion, and daring spir-
it which were needed to play it
successfully.
He possessed the spirit of true
soldier. When he was quite small
he would coax his father to take
him for a walk and he always man
aged to go past the statue Of Joan
of Arc who was his ideal of cour-
age and daring.
In the world war Georges Guyne-
mer was the greatest of all avia-
tors; he was an ace with 81 aero
planes and 215 combats to his
credit. He was called THE winged
sword Of France" and THE knight
of the air" All France mourned
when it learned that he was killed
in an attack. A tablet was erected
to his memory in the Pantheon.

SUMMER CAMP SITE.

The wise camper begins to keep
his eyes peeled for camping
ground at least an hour before it

Essentials Of a good camp site
are; A fairly high, level place,
shade trees, plenty Of fuel and
water
If the tent is pitched so that the
door faces west it will give the
camper the advantage of the fine
weather winds, the marvellous sun
sets and security from water in his
tent, should the wind swing to the
east and blow up rain.

Some Houses that
Seem Like Toys

The houses of most lands are tall,
And made of stuff that will not fall
The houses of the Japanese
Are not a bit like one of these.
The roofs are matched, or made of
tiles,
And often shaped in curving styles.
The walls are paper (though quite
strong)
And built so they can slide along
Wooden shutters cover all
The outside of each paper wall.
All day, the front is open wide,
SO passers-by can see inside.
To many, many girls and boys
These houses seem lot like toys.

leaves and grass makes a splendid
spot for tent if you are sure of
continued fair weather.
If camping for one night only,
you can camp right among the
trees, but if you are camping for a
week or more, the tent should be
beyond the drip from the leaves or
the canvas will become streaked
and stained and eventually per-
forated.

Racing Pigeons.

Pigeon flying is a great fad with
the miners of Wales. A racing
pigeon has been known to attain a
speed of 80 miles an hour, 60 being
a very common rate. Homing
pigeons instinctively fly high on a
big race. This instinct is a true
one, for, as every aviator knows,
the higher the flight, the less the
resistance of the air.
