tator OF Russia
Tho story is told in the Moscow
Pravada by A. Schotmann. Finnish
communist, who was delegated by the
central committee of the soviet party
to find Lenin q safer hiding place
, than the haystack.
Schotmann writes that he visited
Lenin in his haystack headquarters
each day. carrying provisions and
newspapers. Lenin, he says, occupied
himself in writing documents for
world revolutionary propaganda and
drawing up resolutions to be adopted
by the communist party congress,
which held frequent meetings in Pet
rograd.
The police chase was becoming hot
and 1t was decided to move Lenin to
Finland. The future premier shaved
of his beard and mustache and bought
wig to hide his bald head. Sohot-
mann arranged with a friend. an en-
gineer. to give him passage as fireman
on his locomotive.
After a long march, through the
swamps. they reached the RAILROAD and
Lenin rolled up his sleeves and fed
f.rswood into the iirebox. while the
other members OF the party Travelled
as passengers on the same train. At
the last Russian station on the Fin

detached the locomotive and took it
behind the station to take in water.
while the passengers passports were
examined. Just before the signal for

International Experts Talk at
Conference Of Great High.
Power Systems.

PARIS, December 1.-THE linking
OF groups of the principal countries
of the world into huge igh-power
transmission systems from which
electrical energy suficisnt to provide
u large portion Of commercial and
transport needs could be taken 10
one of the problems which the Inter-
national Electrical Conference in
Paris had under discussion.
The meeting brought together dele
gates from twelve countries. includ-
ing the United States and Canada.
Electricity as a means Of moving
trains, ocean steamships and turning
the wheels Of industry is about to
come into Its own. according to the
delegates, and the only thing that
prevents tremendous developments in
electric energy Is the present high
cost Of materials and the expense at
tached to changing from steam and
other methods to electricity.
Nations had enough potential elec-
trical energy in their waterways to
eventually abandon the use OF coal.
experts at the conference said. but
only government financing could pro-
vide sufficient funds to harness this
dormant power.
The American delegates surprised
the European experts when they out
lined the extent to which electricity
is made to work for the American
people The invasion Of the American
home by such labor-saving devices
as electric stoves, dishwashers. irons.
etc, amazed many of the delegates.

The conference studied methods for

high-power transmission systems.
with such an International power
arrangement as suggested. France
may in the near future supply cleo
tricaI energy to the Balkan states
and points as distant as Poland and
Russia.
The delegates were surprised at
the progress made in electrical de-
velopment in France since 1918. The
use of French rivers In generating
electrical energy will eventually
place France second TO none in the
manufacture of electricity, in the
opinion of the delegates.
