Another deep pause--you can al

No at last and hesitatingly.

MINSK: AN INCUBATOR OF

The Industrial history Of Minsk.
where the Poles and the bolsheviks
met to discuss peace terms. Is cspe-
cally significant In view OF present
conditions In Russia. 1t was one OF
the ccnters where ideas long germi-
mated which blossomed forth so sud-
denly into bolshevism under the hot

such diversity OF aims little was

their notable convention ut Minsk In
1893. From that meeting arose the
Social Democratic Working Mems
pnrty.
Minsk Is built upon the Svislotck

Of 100000 fully half Of whom nre

the Irish society, to which LONDON
derry and much of the surrounding
country had been given, pledged itse'i
to enclose Derry within walls anu
these walls, wide enough for coach

desire that they be taken down wou'd
he treated as traitor Long ago
they grew too small to encompass all
the inhabitants of the hustling port,
but they stand like stin belt arouhu
the waIstline of the hill on which
the city is built. The most incon-
vencnt thing about them Is that,
though they are more than mile IN
circumference, there are only seven
gates leading through them. Because
the walls defended the city In the
siege begun by James II, busy man
must make quite jaunt out OF his
way to find passageway through
them, but, true to Irish sentiment
he does 1t without murmur. On one
Of the bastions of the wall an OLD
gun, afrectionatcly known as "Roaring
Meg" points her nose over the city.
Here, too, on the hill in the. center
of a crowded old graveyard stands

queer pinnacled tower. 1t Is called
after st. COLUMBIA, although 1t Is not

Owen, who first set himself up to rule
over the province Of Tyrone, and st.
COLUMBIA visited 1t before his exile.
Here. too, captive Danes who had
threatened the peace of the city were
dragged in triumph.
Though every trace OF the old cas-
tie has been obliterated, the massive
stone wall fourteen feet thick and
eighteen feet high, resembling the han
diwork of cyclone; has stood OFT
grimly against the centuries. a small
iron gate hangs across two-foot door

amphitheater-like interior, which re-
