Moscow and brief residence in Skowhegan went
with his fathers family to Revere Beach. Here he
attended school for brief time, after which he went
to live with sister in Lewiston, continuing his edu-
cation at the Lewiston High. In these changes he
had such variety as was offered by schools Of Mos

Hope that some day the capital OF

Bolshcvik regime will return the capt.
tai here from Moscow, but many
Petrogradites base their hopes thai
this will occur on the fact that Petro-
grad was built for government pur-
poses and is far more fitted TO house
government Offices than oveNrowded
