TINE red barracks, the red army of
4 the Union Of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics, are not only school for the
military training and preparation OF
red army men, but are also school
for educating them to be citizens and
cultured workers. The following fgur-
es will show US what tremendous
work the red army is doing in this
respect amongst the various regular
and territorial units.
"Leninist Corners" in Army.
There is a tremendous network Of
what are termed feminist corners"
in the red army Here the red army
men spend the hours of their leisure
and carry on autodidactic work. There
are 4,5OO such corners in the red
army. The club. study circle and
library work among the rank and file
of the red army is of very extensive
nature. The number of books read
increases year by year. In 1928, $685.
asa books we're borrowed from the red
army libraries and in 1924, 1O,051, SO4.
Educating Nation.
The workers republic is conduct
ing tremendous work in the field of
liquidating illiteracy. Unfortunately,
until now a fairly large percentage of
illiterates have entered the red army.
On the average they fiuctuate around
2O95, and we are liquidating this ILL
teracy during the time of service in
the ranks of the red army. In 1924
we instructed 3s,421 absolute litter
ates, which represent 90; also S5,717
semi-literate, that is 11.6%o making a
total Of 71,13S. In 1925 we will finish
the liquidation of illiteracy; we are
instructing 2S,947 totally illiterates

tryside to carry on ordinary civil So
Wet work. This goes to show that
the red army is the offspring of the
working class and peasantry in the
true sense of the word and that it
is tremendous cultural force in the
countryside. The red army intends
carrying on this work in the future.
and we are firmly convinced that this
work will give us the unity and the
mutual understanding between the
red army and the workers, between
the rear and the red front, which is
the foremost and truest guarantee for
the future victories of the workers;

In the Flames of Revolt Twenty Years Ago

That synagogue was used q number
Of times and then It became danger
Gus.
At another time we also used q
synagogue, but without the consent,
or better say. in spite OF the protests
Of the owners.
The Jews as well as the christians
continued to pray daily for the health
of the car and his whole damned
family. Finally we decided to do
something about 1t. A proclamation
was prepared and distributed over
the city. The B. o. at the same time
arranged raid on a synagogue, one
OF the biggest in the neighborhood.
About dozen members of the B. o.
were assigned to the job
1t was a Jewish holiday, the house
of worship was crowded to capacity.
We came up from different directions
and took up positions at the different
entrances. Everybody was permitted
to enter, but nobody to, 1eave,i Then
came forward the speakers with their
hodyguards. They walked up to the
central platform where honors are
sold for kissing the tora (holy scrip
tures). Ane speaker raised his hand
and announced that he represented
the revolutionary organization Of the
city and warned everybody to keep
their seats and avoid trouble, as the
Boyevoy Otriad is at the doors and
it won't do anybody any good to start
something.
THE crowd was dumbfounded and
= no one stirred.
You are praying every day for the
health Of the bloody car. the car
that made the pogrom on you in this
city, the speaker began in the Jewish
language. you are kissing the boot
that kicks you. How long will you
stand for this outrage? How long
will you be slaves" He continued
with short revolutionary talk wind
ing up with: Down with the bloody
car! Long live the reyolution!"
He was followed by the other speak
er in the Russian language with a
similar talk. calling upon the Jewish
workers to mite Sish the christian
workers for the overthrow of their
common enemy-the bloody czaristic
government.
When they finished, rain Of pro-
CARNATIONS came duttering down from
the gallery where the women's de-
partment was located. The people
began to read the proclamations and
we quietly left the place.
Somebody notified the police, but
when they came no trace of the reds"
could be found.

TURKISH WOMEN DISCARD|NG VEIL
Tow Wear Hats and Take In,
 tereSt in Sports

Constantinople, Aug. 22 Pl-Turk. lth women no longer Is the hot house creative she still is pictur- ed to be in western imagination. Gradually, but surely, she is dis carding her veil and showing her face In public: she is becoming an ardent sportswomen. especially in ternis and swimming, and also she is taking up the hat and othed habli- ments of her western sister.
 All this Is due 10 the sanction of the new Angora government, headed by Mustapha Renal Pasha. and to a great broadening in public opn- ion. Recently there was a swimming race for girls before a mixed gather ing of spectators. Under the sultan's government the appearance of Turkish women in public sports was absolutely taboo. Not alone did tho women compete in the race with the greatest of zest, but afterwards a photograph of the winners, still attired in their bathing suits, was published. In other times this would have brought contumely upon them, and possibly dire punishment.
 Progressiveness among Turkish women is being applauded. The wearing of hat, instead of the one time obligatory veil, was started by & Turkish girl, Hadije Selma Ekrom, who recently has been featuring in the United States on Turkish ques- tions. She discovered on her return to Turkey that men were being per mitted to wear hats, instead of the fez turban and kalpak, and there upon determined to continue wear ing her American hat. A year ago refusal by woman to wear veil might have resulted in action by the police.
 Turkish women, like their sisters of the other nations. know the value of attractivencss. Therefore it is probable that a great many of them will not be likely to follow Miss Ekrems example, as the veil is too becoming to be lightly discarded,

 The fact that no holdups were re- ported during the night and that Troy, with two new pals in a stolen sedan, was seen last night speeding through Grafton Road in the direc- ton of Providence, encourages the belief that the bandits leader has abandoned the Worcester field, at least temporarily.
 Dennis Britt, because of lamcncss, has been obliged 10 quit the ganr, which fact. with the killing oft Derosier, compelled Troy to pdd new recruits. Who these recruits are the police have not learned.
 The threats of Troy to "get" Pa troIman Dennis J. Sullivan for kill ing one of his pals, was ignored by the patrolman who refused last night to accept inside duty and in- sisted on travelling his beat as us- ual.
