American Socialist, Ex-Soap Box Orator, '
 Learns Truth in Russia; Will Bare It

ing. Now I have come 10 see her again and tell her that the communist leaders in Russia have killed my wife and that 1 am going to America to tell the working people there the truth about the soviet government which I formerly sympathized with thoroughly and supported on the plat form from New York to San Fran cisco.
 T want to tell them what that second congress of the third inter- nationale was. It was only Zinovieft, Bukharin, Benine and Trotzky. 1t was all cut and dried. The members were told what action to take, and they did not dare do otherwise
 Before their imprisonment, MT. Schwartz and his wife travelled through l4 governments. They visited Samara, Tambov, Nizhni-Novgorod Tula, Kazan and many other import ant centers. Schwartz. who is member of the American Federation of Labor, was sent to Russia by Otto Branstetter, executive secretary of the socialist party of America to make a thorough investigation, as he spoke the Russian language and knew the prewar conditions.
 Describing the early part of his visit he said;
 Everywhere we went we were met by brass bands and crowds waving red flags shouting for the soviet government But we weren't fooled. From the moment we landed in Petrograd we saw misery, delapida- tion and squallor there. We sus- pected that something was vitaiiy wrong, which could not be explained merely by revolution.
 II immediately began talking to persons of all classes and broke away from our bolsheyist conductors, who were showing us only what they wanted us to see. I soon found that the shouting crowds had to shout, or their food ration would be reduced or entirely taken away. l can truth fully say that I never talked with single-person outside of officials, who had good word to say for the soviet

THE GIRL WITH THE JAZZ
 HEART, ATa AI.CAZAR TODAY

Madge Kennedy, the popular come dienne in Robert hSannon's jazz riot, "The Girl with the Jazz Heart" opens today at the Alcazar. 'The Race of the Age,' that classic turf event between Man O War and Sir Barton, in which race Man O War won the title of the worlds greatest horse. will also be shown.
 As a character study, Madage Kennedy in "The Girl With the Jazz Heart IS rich in detail. Due to the careful cast ing and directing, each one of the per formers is strikingly individual, fact that will be sure to interest anyone who enjoys the incxhaustible study of human types Madge Kennedy almost com pletely submerges her own peculiar charm in the delineation of two charac- ters diametrically opposite to one an other; the one of good little girl who las never left her home town; the other the New York girl with the jazz heart' her work in the two different characters being credit to her as an actress.
 As a character study, Madge Kennedy and religious tranquility in the town or Gideon is suddenly interrupted when sh' answers an ad in the matrimonial paper. She upsets the firmly laid plans or her staid aunt and uncle py re1using .o marry simeon Althoff, the unattractive swain who has long pursued her, and whom her uncle had insisted upon her marrying.
 Upon arriving in New York, the first friendly voice that she hears is that or Kitty Swasher the telephone opera,or in the hotel Miriam makes an appoint ment with the girl and confesses that she has never sen. She was ,groWn has been corresponding with. but whom she has never soon. She has grown frightened at her own boldness and asks sympathy Miss Kitty Swasher, hardened in the game Of life and looking Tor new prospects, readily offers to take the man off Miriam's hands, She dresses up ai Miriam's clothes and poses as Miriam when Miles Srrangue, the man of the love letters arrives.

BEBE DANIELS CAPTIVATING IN "SHE COULDN'T HELP TT"

The beauteous Bebe Daniels was never more so. than in She Couldn't Help It" at the Galax. The picture, wh oh is new version of Tn the Bish- ops Carriage" has a wide field of in terest in the many changes of fortune which the heroine undergoes, but chiefly attractive is the personality o1 the star herself.
 Miss Daniels runs workable gamut of experiences in the picture. She be- gins as little girl in a charity home from which she is taken by some crooks who appear as "swells' to adopt her. They teach her to be a first class pickpocket, but fate throws her into new surroundings when she bor- rows the bishops carriage during one of his stunning tours, and makes, an escape from the. police. From then on her life is gradually strengthened out and love enters. Jealousy also enters and almost succeeds in throwing the girl back into former crooked ways.

TRIP OVER THE TRAIL

In a letter written from An

in Nenana that she and her husband
"have had wonderful trip so far
simply could not have been better.
Before starting, we heard wild tales
of the bad roads, etc, but after
passing the Canyon roadhouse, the
shedding was perfect. From Healy
to the Canyon roadhouse, we rode
in big wagon, and over bumps
and into chuckholes it wasn't any
paved street! But then we changed
to the sled and travelled that way
to the end of steel on this side.
Joe LaFerrie had caught the train
ahead of us-so was here to meet
us with the big smile He had rooms
for us at the Parsons Hotel and
Major Mcfarland had a place for
us at his house.

of being a rather lively town-do
not believe it is good for very long,
though. We have been to Ben Sim
sons store a few times. Maude
Bishop, who used to be in the Ter
minal, has just opened ladies'
furnishing store and she is surely
doing business. She has the very
latest things and her prices are
very reasonable. The stores here
are fine but prices are a trihe high.

Mrs. Murphy mentioned good

and said they might locate there

IRELAND HAS QUIET SPOT
WHERE CLANS DO NOT MIX

GALWAY, May i0--Jn cor1pari-
son with Cork and other southern
counties where the operations CT
the Irish Republican, army are
most vigorously carried on, Galway
is fairly peaceful spot. This is
true also of Mayo and the West
generally, but nowhere in Ireland
are the forces of the British crown
more in evidence and more active
than in this city.
One looks from Galway harbor
straight out to the Atlantic. 1t is
the nearest European port to the
United States and some day, hope
full citizens will tell you, liners
from New York will dock here.
In anticipation of that eagerly
awaited event, Galway some years
ago built one of the biggest hotels
in Ireland. It is now being used
as quarters for military officers,
only one floor being reserved for
civilian trade. The stranger arriv-
ing at Galway enters this hotel at
the railway station, running the
gamut of secret service agents who
inspect all arriving and departing
trains and scrutinize with great
care every person on the platform.
, The hotel is barricaded with
barbed wire like a barrack and as
I the guest mounts the stairway to
his room he is stopped by sentry
who examines his luggage. But all
this espionage is the usual thing one
encounters throughout Ireland.
Sim Feiners in Galway explain
why the district is quiet. The chief
reason, they say, is that the people
have been living in state Of semi
poverty for so many years that they
are easily cowed by repressive
measures. Second, having lacked ed
ucational facilities, the young man.
hood of the country doesn't develop
leaders of the ability required to
carry out the work of the Irish Re
publican army. Third, the topog-
raphy of the country is unsuited
for guerilla warfare.
| Most of the roads radiating from
Galway traverse fiat desolatc
country whose main features are
rocks and boys. The roads are like
bridges built over a marsh, and if
! the pedestrian leaves them he finds
himself floundering ankle-deep in a
bog. Such terrain is useless for an
ambush.
