h Moscow Feb. 20-Ehsanul1a, the chief of the red revolutionary move ment of Persia, who last June made a daring raid that all but succeeded in capturing Teheran, has escaped the Shah's CossackS aid is now here.
 The peoples struggle against the shah and the feuda1 landlords has failed. There'n be no more' he. said. His comrade leaders in the revolution were killed
 Ehsanulla is rated the most pie turesque figure of all the bandit and revolutionary leaders of the Middle East s,E
 Educated and daring, for 16 years he has fought the established order in Persia His long hair and shaggy beard are known to thousands of Per, sian peasants.
 He is known as the Karl Marx of Persia, but in many ways resembles Makno, the peasant header of South Russia. He has never been captured, though he has taken part in every armed struggle of Persia since 1905. He might no7v be master of Teheran and of Persia but for quarrels be- tween two of his associate leaders, kutchik and Haidar.
 With peasant army strengthened by Russian Communists, he struck from Rescsht to Teheran, while many of the Shah's 50,000 troops were put Horoshan, and was within 35 miles of Teheran when betrayal in his own ranks gave news of his where abouts and forced his retreat.
 After the Anglo-Russian treaty, by which both nations agreed to leave Persia alone" said Ehsanulla, "I real ized that. the Sayyid Zia-u-Din gov errment was a reversion to the old, corrupt law of the feudalists each of whom is a sort of a little Shah, and that the rule of the combined peas antry and educated class would go under, perhaps forever, unless made a last desperate effort.
 ''So I got together a few thousand peasant soldftry and by secret paths and rapid marching tried to reach Teheran. Tle CoSSackS of the. Shah began to attack me and the Russian Communists with me lost heart. l fought until I was surrounded and then retreated.
 "An Eng1ishman no longer dares to go into North Persia, but this Is not much satisfaction for me since they will again control in Teheran. My pity is for me the poor peasants. built schools and hospitals for them.
 There need be no fear that Persia will join the Pan-Islanic union pro- jected by Enver Pasha. The IslaInic religion has ruined the Orient and We have no desire to form a union that would again place us in subjection to the Turks"

To do any kind of work, or to play for
