And our Flying Osip was attending to the
captiyes. He was very strong sparing captive
soldiers. He would say word or two to them
and tell them to think it over. Well, and the
lads straight off beg to shoulder rifles; they be

But with their officers he had his own way
Don't you dare kill officer, but by all means
bring him to Osip. And he takes his long, long
revolver and-square on the bridge of the nose

Only, his eyebrow trembles bit and his torn

drag thru his teeth:
'D-d-dog"
And he had another way with him: when
came to rest in little town or a village then,
you could be mighty sure of it, he wants guitar.
We-you know,-some go after the girls, and
some hang around the eats-but for hm-gve

him balalaika. He silently pushed it aside
no good.
He would sit down somewhere, on the porch or
on the logs, and pulling his dingy old cap low
down over his eyes, would begin to pinch the
strings trin-tren tren-dren. " @Aahi
He would forget himself, let his hand drop,o
and his head would sink lower and lower on the
guitar. fE lbt
And at such times, tho it sounds strange-we
we're afraid of him. We were afraid, and we
were sorry for him to DEATH Just think-what
a terrible, inhuman load hangs over his head, if

In certain localities activities of the
International Red Aid are openly for
hidden by a police decree. Recently,
for instance, Comrade Serrati, one of
the most important l. r. A. leaders In
Italy, was handed a decree by the
Milan police project which forbids in
Milan and the province the existence
or undertaking of any activities what
soever on the assumption that "the
l. R. A. is in contact with revolu-
tionary organizations" In small CEN
tiers the prohibition of l. r. A. actiyi-
ties amounts in simply terrOFizing
those who show any activities in this
direction, or who even show their
sympathy. In spite of this, the Italian
section of the l. R. A. has already dis
played a very considerable activity
and has done great deal in solidi-
flying the workers and peasants
united front of struggle with the white
terror and in aiding its victims.
The black cloud of reaction is once
more forcibly hanging over workers
anu peasants VI ltoly. Inc peTStCu-
tions of Communists and of all revo-
lutionary workers in general creates
extremely difficult conditions of life
and struggle for the workers and
peasants in Italy.
Under these conditions, however
much the fascist government may
publish "amnesties," the number of
political prisoners and of prosecuted
workers will continue growing, and
the Italian section of the International
Red Aid is now the mass organization
which is actively and fearlessly rally
ing the workers and peasants front
against the white terror and is
stretching out its fraternal hand to
the revolutionary captives.

The Fascist amnesty" in Italy

the average number of per-
manent political prisoners fiuctuated
frmo 5000 to 5000, it now reaches
about 11,OO0.
In addition to these permanent
prisoners Of capital many of whom
are condemned to Imprisonment for
life, thousands and thousands sof work
ers suspected of being Soviet" revo-
lutionaries have been compelled to
pass thru the school of the fascist
prisons, even, if only for short time.
In, reply TO ComTade Gramsei's ques-
tion in parliament as to why these
arbitrary mass arrests were being I'M
dertaken, Mussolini cynically stated:
1--WE are arresting you in order to be-
come acquainted with you" And this
acquaintance" which not thousands,
but already tens of thousands of COM
rades are being subjected to, will cost
the working class of Italy very dear.
This is all quite apart from the con-
ditions inside the Italian prisons, the
deprivation of wages, and the state of
terror in which the families of the
prisoners are kept What is more, the
the arrested workers who are liber-
ated are put on the black books of
the police, the bosses and the fascist
troopers" This means that on the
slightest pretext and even without any
pretext they can be once more seized
and thrust into Jail, that it is with
great difficulty that they can find any
work, while they will also meet with
persecution on the part of the local
fascists. These workers are COM
PEELED sooner or later to emigrate
from Italy or to be put in the posi-
ton of political refugees within Italy
itself, in places where they are not
yet known and where the hand of re-
action has not yet been able to reach
them. egSe
1t is obvious that under such con-
ditions, the problem as to thousands
of political prisoners. of their unfor-
tunate families, and Of the thousands
Of political refugees resulting every
where from the fascist regime, faces
the Italian working and peasant
masses in all its gravity.
Already at the present time the
Italian section of International Red
Aid has about 10000 members. But
the society has not yet been formed
everywhere, and its membership
would be much larger if the very fact
of belonging to this society of aid
to class war prisoners were not con-
sidered as crime and punished by
the legal and illegal fascist Jaws.
Cases of. persecution and ill-treatment
of workers and peasants only because
of their being known to conduct ac-
tvities in favor Of the International
Red Aid, or simply thru an l. r. A.
membership card being found on
them, is a frequent occurrence in any
large or even small center in Italy.

THE results of the amnesty which
the Italian government timed for
the 25th year of the kings reign are
being felt more and more every day.
The prisons which were cleared of
the criminal elements and fascist
hooligans which even bourgeois gov
eminent should have at least given
light sentence, are now becoming
more and more filled with revolution
airy workers. and primarily Commun-
lists. The persecution of Communists
and all revolutionary workers in gen
eral, mass arrests, exceptional meas
ures and extraordinary DEGREES against
any kind of workers unions whatso-
ever which are not under fascist con-
troll, are becoming more frequent
every day. 1t would appear that the
fascist government is even annoyed
by the fact that thanks to parlia-
mentary immunity, a few prominent
Communists are still at large, and
therefore charges are now being
brought up against them to provide a
plea for their Imprisonment.
The cynical fascist amnesty" loud
ly heralded as being "for public paci-
fcation" was widely advertised. On
the one hand it was a kind of ex-
preston of devotion of the fascist gov
eminent for the king, and on the other
hand it was of demagogic nature
to show the wide masses that fas-
cism also is not devoid of "generosi-
ty" twards political prisoners.
Whereas former amnesties served
as a stimulus for individual fascists
to commit their unpublished crimes
and acts Of violence against the work
ers and peasants, this last amnesty
has opened the doors wide to all fas-
cist cut-throats whose crimes even
bourgeois justice had been unable to
leave completely unpublished in face of
public opinion. Ell 9fW Us
With regard TO the workers and
peasants languishing in prisons, it
would seem at first glance that now
the iron doors Of the cells had been
opened wide before them: 1000 polit-
ical prisoners were liberated as a re-
suit of the amnesty, but they had
hardly time to look around when a
section of them was once more seized
and clapped into Jail, while the others
who succeeded in lodging this recent
lot of theirs were compelled to go
away from their homes" and live as
political refugees in centers where
they are not known and where the
keen eye of the fascist troopers" and
police had not yet succeeded in hon
oring them with their attention. 1t
is sufficient to say that during this
last month OF public pacification" of
the fascist government, another 1000
revolutionary workers were again i'm
prisoned. And whereas before the

THE Ssrbs," said Canon De Vries,
ARE the only people which celebrate a
battle in which the nation went down

the heroism displayed by the forces

any victory could have been. Memo

spirit of the Serbian race for centuries
and ultimately they won their inde-
