the impression that Probuzna viii be

thing of the doggedness Of Pujo.

Smith is lumberman Of impress
sive proportions. The lower half OF
his left ear is missing and from the
spot from which this portion Of his
anatomy was sheared down to the
tip of his chin there runs the Jagged
result of knife slash. You gather
the impression that as long as Smith
remained upon his feet he would be
able to give three or four ordinary
men a powerful physical argument.

worked on the docks In New York
and Seattle. I've cut timber In Sas-
katchewan and Alaska. I've bummed
my way as stiff from Frisco to
New Orleans on freighta. I've done
a couple Of short stretches-one for
assault on a guy in Portland and
another for vagrancy in Denver. but
nothing else.

That rounds up the general senti-
ment of the workers who are apply
ing to the Kuzbas organization for
transportation to Siberia In all of
them you will find a vague back
ground Of revolutionary economies.
They will erupt their creed with a
remarkable glibness and hold forth
with a conviction that tells you how
idle it would be to match argument
with them. They are talking Of one
thing: the ordinary American talks
Of something entirely different. Any
contentious dialogue would be a
shameful waste of time.
Thus far the Kuzbas organization
has shipped 200 such men to Russia.
From Moscow have como reports
that some Of these 200 have thrown
down their axes and shoveis In dis
gust and voiced loud demands for
car fare home. p. P. Cosgrove,
treasurer of the local branch of the
organization. says that such reports
