The
Adventure of Johnny Smart
Or
A Lad in the Russian Revolution

Johnny Smart was a carpenters
apprentice. He was a husky young
boy, with a sharp prominent nose,
and lively blue eyes. He had the
reputation of being the greatest
mischief maker Of all the boys in
the factory.
Today Johnny was excited It
seemed as if the fear which lowered
over the city, this foreboding of
something evil and inevitable, had
crept into Johnny's blood.
Since early morning, streams Of
people were leaving the city; an
unexpected advanc Of White Guards
had forced the Reds to abandon the
city. Long trains of wagons, piled
up high with furniture, boxes of all
sorts, with food and ammunition,
passed continuously thru the
streets. Anxious drivers, their
faces covered with sweat, kept
whipping the horses TO a faster
pace. Here and there could be seen
Red Guard hurryiAg on some duty.
Wounded were already being carried
into the city; the sick and crippled
dragged themselves painfully after
the departing wagons. The street
was confused medley Of rafting
wheels and groaning wounded. Here
and there a driver lost his head and
began cursing his horse and his car
riage and pitilessly beat his poor
animal.
Volunteers For Secret Work.
Johnny had wanted to leave the
city together with the other work
ers of the factory, but their leaders
had ordered him to remain.
"Hey, where are you going. YOU
young scamp? Don't you think
we've got enough without being
bothered with you. You don't have
to be scared of the Whites. They
won't hurt you. So YOU remain
here"
Johnny saw that neither tears
nor prayers would help. So he ran
to the headquarters of the Young
Communist League. lie was a
member of one of the Communist
Children's Groups.
But there also they were too
busy to be able to help him. The
committee was standing in the cor
ner, discussing excitedly and in low
voices. Three young men were pill
ing all the documents on the table.
and burning them as fast as they
could in the glowing stove.
1--WE can't trust the tobacco girls
for our secret service work yet"
Gregory was saying.
Johnny picked up his ears. Secret
service work! He had already heard
great deal about it. 1t means
something terrible and mysterious;
one dared not sleep at home, and
the White Guards burned the houses
and hung the workers.
His older brother was caught in
this work, and was now lying In
prison-maybe they would let him
try his hand at it.
Comrades, can't l do something,
too Gregory looked at the little
figure before him. what, then"
he asked.
"Can't I do secret work."
The Whites Attack Village.
The young people burst into
laughter.
"Youl You're much too young.
Why, you're still at your mothers
apron strings"

Youth VieuOs
BY HARRY CANNES
COMMUNIST THEORY
IMPORTANT?

ONE of the younger comrades
think Communist theory uni.A-
portant. Lately the idea has gron n
up that a knowledge Of tactics and
current events is enough. This is
sad mistake.
Trotzky has said we shall conquer
thru our knowledge Of Communist
theory Theory is our guide to cor
rect action.
On what is our theory based?
First, on the works of Marx, EnyeIs
and the host of other prolctarian
writer's who have understood an ac-
cepted the materialist conception oe
history, the class struggle, and the
MARKHAM theory of surplus value;
secondly, on the experience OF The
working class struggles and the re-
cent development If capitalism,
mainly as pointed out by Lcnin in
his works.
Importance of Study.
The past five years have been re-
plcte with rapid revolutionary de-
velopments. The youth If TODAY
have been maturing in an aye Of
strife and struggle with but little
time for reflection and less for study.
Especially is this true Of those in the
revolutionary workers movement.
The result is that many entirely over
look the need for detailed study of
Marx, Engels and Lenin.
Karl Radek had amply pointed out
the weaknesses of the European revo-
lutlonary youth in the matter of solid
theoretical education. Most of the
organized youth, he pointed out, were
brought up at a time when Europe
was in the throes of bitter world
war, followed by repeated revolutions
and continuing economic and politi-
cal crises.
The great theoreticians of the So
clal-democrat and the present Com
munist parties were developed dur
ing the so-called periods of peaceful
development of capitalism, as for ex-
ample, Lenin, Zetkin, luxembourg,
Irotzky, Bucharin, Thalheimer. for
the Communists; Bernstein and Kaut-
sky, for the socialist traitors.
The life of every one of the lead
ers of the Communist international
is the life of an avid student of
MARKHAM theory and the development
OF capitalism, economically and poll
tically. The danger in these times
of action is for the youth to oyer
look such study.
Participation Not Sufficient.
1t is true that the mass of workers..
young and old, will learn thru active
participation in the class struggle:
but we cannot forget the fact that
the backbone and brains of the Rus
sian Communist Party is still the old
Bolsheviks whose theoretical educa-
ton at no time was neglected even
during periods of intensive action.
A Communist party and a Young.
Communist League without a com
plete leadership versed in the theories
OF Marxism and Leninism is worse
than ship without rudder; for the
driving force of our enemies. the
capitalists is moro deadly than The
rigors of the sea and of the wind.

OUR BOOK REVIEWS

Y'Oaye HO! My Iads-FOr Sailors
Reviewing ''The Sailors Union os
the Pacific" by Paul S. Taylor,
Ph. D. Ronald Press Co., N. Y,
$3.50.
To land lubbers, a sailor ia a
strange being. If we are romantic.
the sailor becomes the embodiment
of the spirit of adventure. romance
and freedom. There is about him
the tang Of exotic lands, the fulfill
ment of many unfulhlled desires.
II, however, we be prosaic, then the
sailor is a drunken, good-for-noth-
ing creature often seen hanging
around wharves or longing in dark
Railways with some girl he has been
Fortunate enough to pick M.
Strange, isn't it, how our concep-
tons of certain legitimate occupa-
lions have developed!
Seamanship is an occupation
stepped in tradition, and seamen
have for years been the sufferers of
great economic and social oppres-
sion by virtue of that tradition. DR..
Taylor has presented to us in an
exceedingly readable form a "drn,-
matte account of the rise Of Ameri-
can seamen to freedom and self re-
spect." 1t is the story Of a trade
union in what would seem to be n
distinctly unorganized industry. and
the fight for a code Of laws that
would guarantee to the sailor. who
for years has been bonded to his ves-
sci in the name Of ship discipline,
the minimum of economic freedom
guaranteed to every worker-the
right to leave his job.
"At best the old-time sailors lot
was a hard one. Sleeping and eat
ing in a little black, ill-ventilatcd,
poorly lighted, unfinished hole
called a forecastle, with a hard
board bunk and bit of straw or
cheap mattress, if he provided II
himself, he lived a life of great
physical discomfort" This SORT of
physical life at sea coupled with an
unsavory life ashore at the mercy
Of "crimps" and scayenger boarding
houses, and ending in being shang-
haied back to the vessels-to start
the vicious circle all over again
has been only one phase IF the life
of the sailor. The lax of economic
freedom, the lack Of protective leg
islation for the hazards of the in
dustry, and the social stigma at
tached to the job-Yere all forces
which finally made for organic alton
on the part Of the seamen of the
Pacific Coast.
The recitation of the repeated at
tempts to organize, the destruction
Of these organizations BY ship own
ers, crimps and even other unions
in the course Of jurisdictional dis
putes, reveal the natural process out
of which trade consciousness de-
velops.
The Sailors Union of the Pacific
came into being, however, and be-
gan its fight for the seamen of the
Coast.
The elimination of the struggle
for legal rights came only in March,
1915, with the passage of the Sea-
mems Act, which aboIishes arrest
and imprisonment as a penalty for
desertion, created provisions for de-
cent living conditions on the boat,
and provided for some definite
safety measures.-T. ".

Johnny felt hurt. He turned his
back upon them sadly, and and sat
down on the window sill, pressed
his face against the pane and fell
into suffering silence.
In the street, the tuznult had
somewhat decreased; the crowd had
grown less dense. There were
fewer wagons. From the station
little groups Of Red Guards kept
coming all the time, and mounted
officer would now and then rush
down the street, with sparks flying
from his horses hoofs.
Beyond the city, the Reds and
Whites were fighting. He could dis
tinctly hear the guns and the loud
thunder of the cannon. Now the
cars passed by, followed by a few
soldiers.
Suddenly, the first shell exploded
IN the street. The troops quickened
their pace. Then aeccnd shot.
Now, the commands could be heard
quite clearly. From many windows
faces peeped in the direction from
which they expected the Whites to
be coming. On the outskirts Of
the city bright fame sprang up
suddenly.
"A shell must have hit its goal, :"
thought Johnny, and he directed Ills
entire attention to the Are.
After the Hand Grenades.
All the papers have been burned,
and now the committee was prepar-
ing to leave the room, but Gregory
stopped suddenly. He seemed to
have remembered something.
"Boys! The hand grenades!
We've forgotten to remove the hand
grenades."
(which hand grenades?"
"Those which were in Frederick's
house."
"Well, it's too late now" Mark
said despondently. "Freierick has
left the city; and we can't take the
chance of going to his house. Every
one knows that he was a Communist
and we would surely be recognized
The capitalist soldiers are already
searching the streets for our COM
rades."
What could they do? The hand
grenades had to be gotten at any
price.
"Comrades, let me go. am small
and no one win think of stopping
me. And / will bring you the hand
grenades."
Gregory and Mark looked at little
Johnny. "Well, all right. They are
in Kronstad Street. The number,
81, first floor, to the right, under
the bed. You bring them here"

We have our life-'tis without de-

For ev'ry day the old world about us
Seems nothing but changing black
and white.
And thru the monotony of our day
We've work and worry-no moro

The weeks come on and are gone

We seek for something but naught

The years go by, and youth goes too,
We have suffered want and have
naught to show.

We are building the Future, Ills all

taken claims for damages. The exami-
nation of the spot Immediately after
an accident has enabled highway at
taches to determine the condition of
the road before it had changed by ad-
ditiOnal travel.
In speaking of the accidents Mr..
Buck said that the two sections cans
ing the most criticism were on the
Philadelphia pike and the intersection
of the du Pont Road with the Milford
Harrington Road. Milford, where the
traffic is extremely heavy and where
it is Oftentimes difficult to avoid col
lisiOns because of the big travel. This
crossing is located about half a mile
west of the city limits of Milford. In
addition to these two road intersec-
tiOns, the Delaware, Maryland & Vir-
ginia Railroad crosses the du Pont
Road about one hundred yards south
of the Harrington Road. The view to
the approach of the railroad is par
TALLY obscured at times. Two persons
were killed and another severely in
jured by train last year.
On the Philadelphia pike motorists
from Philadelphia, who have become
irritated by being compelled to drive
slowly through congested Philadel- |
phia, want to speed up as soon as they
get to the open places such as the
Philadelphia pike. AS a result the
wish to make up for time lost in
Pennsylvania, has often resulted in
accidents in Delaware. Traffic police
men, however. have been doing splen-
did service on the pike and have cut
down the number of mishaps to a
large degree. The fact that there is
24-hour service on the pike makes it
for a motorist to attempt I
% speed faster than the limit at any {
lOur of the day or night. N
