SPREAD OF RED PROPAGANDA
6olshevist Activities In the Various
Countries Are Under Highly sys-
tematIc Regulation.

In the Deutsche Allgemeine zeitung
one Of the many publications controlled
BY Herr SHINES. an annotated mar
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 a propaganda
committee, composed of Zinovfeff,
Radek. Chicherin, Lunacharski, Lit
vinoff, and Krassin. The working Of
this committee is subdivided into Sec
tons, including an official 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-
tions of which are not made entirely
clear.
The official section is directed from
Riga by Litvinoff. The Allgemeine
Zeitung declares that Berlin is the
chief foreign center Of Bolshevist ac-
tivity, and alleges that the Berlin mis-
Sion supports the Rote Fahne 1.-THE
Berlin Communists organ).
Next In Importance to Berlin is
Prigue; but Milan is also an important
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

MYSTERY OF MOUNT EVEREST
Finding by Explorers OF imprint Of
Human Foot on Mountain Given
Various Explanations.

The progress of the Royal Geo
graphical society's expedition to Mount
Everest, under the leadership of Col
Howard Bury. was watched with keen
interest by scientists, especially at the
Natural History museum, South Ken
sington, to which the spoils were to
have been brought for study and clas-
sification on the return Of the party.
One statement in dispatch received
from Colonel Bury excited special
curiosity, and 1t is hoped that this will
be satisfied by further discoveries In
the course Of the expedition.
Even at these heights (more than
10000 feet),v writes Colonel Bury,
there were curious tracks in the
snow. We distinguished hare and fox
tracks; but one mark, like that Of a
human foot, was most puzzling. The
coolies assured me that it was the
track Of Wild, hairy man, and that
these men were occasionally to be
found In the widest and most mac
cessible mountains
Naturalists here are by no means
prepared to scout the idea Of a human
race living at such an altitude. The
probability is, however, that the sup
posed wild, hairy man." is In reality
q baboon, known as Macaque, which
IS known to live at great heights on
the Himalayas, and the footprint
would be very similar to the human
foot.
