Some years ago plant was estab-
lished near Lyons, France, for the
manufacture OF paving glass. Numer.
Gus descriptions of the new paving
material were published, and a bril-.

city authorities Of Lyons permitted the

The glass bricks failed to stand the
test of wear. The edges of them were

SPREAD OF RED PROPAGANDA
eoishevist Activities In the Various
Countries Are Under Highly sys
tematio Regulation.

In the Deutsche Aligemeine Zeitung,
one OF the many publications controlled
by Herr SHINES, an annotated map
was published recently, showing the
organization of the Bolshevist propa-
ganda throughout the various countries
Of Europe.
According to this map, the entire
organization is under q propaganda
committee, composed Of Zlnovieff,
Radek, Chlcherin. Lunacharski, Lit
Vin0ff, and Krassln. The working Of
this committee is subdivided into Sec
lions, including an "Officlal section"
which has charge Of soviet diplomatic
and commercial delegations abroad; a
press bureau" which controls the
numerous wireless stations; and
various "secret sections" the func-
lions Of which ARE not made entirely
clear.
The official section is directed from
Riga by Litvinoff. The Allgemeine
Zeltung declares that Berlin Is the
chief foreign center Of Bolshevist &C.
tlvity, and alleges that the Berlin mis-
sion supports the ROte Fahne (the
Berlin Communists organ).
Next In importance to Berlin is
Prague; but Milan is also an important
prOpagandist center. From this latter
point the tentacles are spread through
the Italian, Swiss, and Jugo-Slav
regions. According to the map, Lon
don Is not an independent center. but
Is handled from Paris, to which city
the Moscow authorities devote special
attentiOn.--The Living Age.
