|SADORA SAYS

At TTHEbATTERY
So TickIed at Getting Back
Home, She Says, She Just
Has to Dance.
By Universal Service.


NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The first
thing that Isadora Duncan did last
night was to go through some weird
semi.primitive creations while hun.
dreds looked on in amazement.
Her young Russian husband.
Sergius Essenine, an imaginative
poet," recited in his native tongue an
essay, which his interpreter said
meant:
with all the rich.looking people
here, one should not have much
trouble in selling verse"
For II seems as though Sergtus,
like his wife, Is a disciple of the
free.thought school and has no idea
of loIling in luxury while his wife
repositories to triumph and dollars.
He believes husband should earn
his own living and a wife hers.
The famous dancer and her hus-
band were admitted to the United
States late yesterday after being
forced to spend the night on the liner
Paris, on which they came from Eu.
rope.
No one seems to know exactly why
they were detained. Isadora said
sarcastically:
II guess we were held up because
Of my classical dancing"
The board of inquiry at Ellis Isl
and, before which the couple ap-
peared, voted unanimously to admit
them, after a hearing lasting two
hours.
Isadora said that they showed the
immigration authorities that they
- Iuka loo I'D 70 he % n
that for the past year she has been
conducting a dancing school in Mos
COW under the auspices of the soviet
government.
MY husband and l were arrested
several times by Bolshevists," she
said.
And then. as she set foot on
Battery Park, she started to dance.
II Just can't help it," she said.
Isadora's hennaed bdbbed hair
ca ressed her cheeks with reckless
abandon. Her Russian costume.
consisting of a jacket and skirt OF
loosely woven blue wool, with
navajo blanket stripes, failed TO
conceal at times her shapely limbs
as she said II with her feet"
When her red and green soft
leather boots gave evidence Of re-
vealing her juStly-famous feet. Isa-
dora stopped suddenly and ex-
claimed:
Back in my native country at
last"
She explained that the authorities
had examined all her baggage and
that OF her husband. but found no
BolsheVist propaganda or anything
detrimental to her or her husband S
entrance to the United States.
IsadOra said:
II never saw Lenin or TrotZky
in all the time | conducted a school
for Russian children in Moscow.
And my husband-hes just n young
Russian poet. He's no politician,
hut genius. Our passports are
vised properly and we aren't coming
here to spread propaganda. We
simply want to tell American of the
children over there and how they
are being neglected.
Il wish to let people know how
those children live on black bread
and how last Christmas l saw them
dance around pathetic tree in a
room degrees below zero.
II am not concerned with poll
tics or government. but with Rus.
sian children. They are wonderful.
To see child half starving. with
red rag bound around it's head
and a look of a king in its eyes
that IL what I have to tell America
not political propaganda.
THE Russian children say to me:
We are starving, but we are free.

PLANS CENSUS OF FIVE
MILLION EX- SERVICE MEN

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8,-Compil-
ing the vital facts about the five
million ex-service men in the United

is now undertaking in its national
service and compensation drive, re-
Gently arrroved by the Legion's con-
ference IN Indianapolis. The drive
is taking the form of census, with
each state department determining its
own dates for carrying out the
work.
To lay foundation for the pro
posed rotating fund.- to be raised
by the Legion for the benefit of ex-
soldiers in acute circumstances, is d
prime purpose of the census. Each
veteran will be asked to specify
whether he favors the establishment
of such a fund and whether he would
be willing to contribute his compen-
sation allotment, if he did not need
it, with the passage of bonus Iegisla
ton. The money thus raised would
be loaned to needy service men at
