ONLY SEVEN AMERICANS
IN RUSSIAN PRISONS

WASHINGTON, June 30.-"There
are only about seven American cit
liens actually in confinement in
Russia" the STATE department an
nounced recently.
How many more Americans are
detained" in Russia the department
does not profess to know. It is stated
officially that the department re-
ceived frequent letters from persons
in the United States who complain
that their relatives are prisoners" in
Russia. Whether these charges are
accurate the department comedies it
does not know.
Reporters are informed at the de-
partment, however. that being de-
tained' in RUSSIA does not nece ssar-
lily imply imprisonment there. It may
as often mean that the persons in
question are permitted to be at large,
but not allowed to leave the coun-
try
A high officer of the state DEPART
ment was asked "how many Russians
are there imprisoned in the United
States whose status compares with
that of Americans held in Russia ?"
The reply given confessed that the
state department has no figures COW
ering Russians held in American
prisons. It was added that Russian
prisoners in this country had pre-
sumably enjoyed "due process of law"
which the official spokesman sought
10 contrast with what he regarded
as arbitrary seizure of Americans in
Russia.
1t is not within the province of the
state department to discuss with news
paper reporters the cases Of scores
OF aliens who were seized as long as
Two years ago and who are still In
confinement without having enjoyed
nearing or trial of any kind.

country permits employers to MAIN

Lord, president of the "A. F.. of L..

country in the world, no matter how
reactionary or barbarous. the owners
and directors of business are allowed
to have and control armies, of private
hired killers as they do with in. punity
in some parts of our country. It is
doubtful II in amy other country, men

crime for pay, are allowed by the

edge from it's own investigation to
supersede and displace constitutional
government"

You all want to live to be big hens or roosters, don't you? I know you do," he said, without waiting for an answer.
 Now, I will tell you what to do tomorrow when you are out. Just you all creep under the gate by the road and run as far away from the barn yard as you can and I will save you from this unhealthful place and take you where you can grow up big and fat-I mean big and strong"
 The next morning after breakfast all the chicks ran for She gate and some of them crept under it and ran down the road, but most of them were seen by the older hens and made to come back.
 We want to live to grow up big and strong" peeped the chicks that were brought back "We can't grow in that unhealthful place we sleep in."
 ''Who told you that silly story| asked Mrs Old Hen.
 "Oh, nice, kind animal who came to our window last night. He wants to save us and we were going to live in a nice place he has. Peep, peeps we want to grew up"
 "I think you will find that it will be better for your health to live here," said Mrs Old Hen, flor if l am not mistaken that was Mir Fox who visited you last night and gave you health |, this morning will never come back"
 The next night MT. Fox returned to urge the other chicks to run away the next day. Your friends are in a more healthful place, my dears,o he said. T want to see you all happy and well cared for"
 "We have decided that this place is healthful enough for us," said the chicks, grown wise since the night be- fore, but it will be very bad for your health if you do not run away at once Peep, peep, peep" they all cried so loudly that MT. Fox did not stop a second.
 Now, who has been giving them health hints beside me, I should like to know" thought MT Fox as he ran for home.
