MOSCOW, u. S. S. R.-(By MaiD-
Properly speaking, the celebration OF
the revolutionary anniversary begins
weeks before the actual event. The
October Commission" meets and lays
out the plans for the holiday, and in
every factory, school, Office, and club
! the workers begin their preparation
for participation in the great holiday.
Earnest discussions last far into the
night-the decorations for the build
ing, for the auto trucks to carry the
children, for bringing in a peasant del
egatien, or an army delegation from
the village or regiment over which the
party nucleus is chef" or sponsor
the. kind Of placards to be carried in
the parade, the program of their own
small clebration-all these have to be
settled long in advance. Then come
weeks filled with paint-pots and red
bunting, until finally the eve of the
great day arrives.
aglsA How They Celebrate
In every one of the hundreds of
workers clubs thruout the city cele-
bratiens are held. At the Comintern
Club a group of young Deninist)
Pioneers" were initiated into the Com
intern nucleus. At the German Club,
the largest organization of political
emigres in Moscow, there was well
come to a delegation from the Kiev
German Red Army Regiment for which
the Moscow Club is chef In new
ly organized club of the oil trust en-
ployes, called 1906" a long list of
speakers was followed by music and a
living newspaper"
The biggest demonstration is held
in the Bolshoi Theatre under the joint
auspices of the Moscow Soviet, the
Moscow Communist Party, and the
Moscow Committee of the Trade I'm
ions. The great red and gold hall
glistens under the lights of the crystal
chandeliers as brilliantly as ever in the
days of old, but its shimmering beauty
is reflected now in other, more appre-
ciative, eyes. In the Grand Loge,
where once the imperial parasites lol-
led, there sit the honored guests of
the Sovnarkom, today General YuI
Khan Dhin, the fighting chieftain of
the Canton proletarian armies, and a
delegation of youthful workers frcm
Germany.
The admission tickets here tonight
are priceless, every one has been dis
tributed through some working class
organization, every comrade who oc-
cupies seat here does so by the grace
Of the esteem in which he is held by
his fellow workers.
Splendid Organization
Chairman Kamenev rings little
bell and perfect silence ensues. All
rise as the band strikes up the "In-
ternationap. A comrade goes to the
speakers stand, in front of which
hangs a microphone connected with
great loud speakers that carry the
slightest whisper to all parts of the
great auditorium. In front of the
chairman's seat is another-both are
connected also TO the radio broadcast
ing stations that permit millions of
workers in all this part of Europe to
listen In on the event.
The comrade proposes a list of
twenty for the presidium"-they are
elected by vote OF the assemblage, and
proceed to their place upon the stage.
Workers and soldiers and peasants
here, men and women, some whose
grey hairs speak of glorious past in
the cause of the proletariat, others
whose young hearts promise still
more glorious future. Among them is
a tiny Pioneer" girl OF not more than
ten. AS they are greeted with the
international" all arise once more,
the soldiers present salute-as do the
representatives of the young "Lenin-
