Letter From Peasant
Another letter from an Ukrainian
peasant correspondent gives an inti-
mate account Of the activities in his
section. A Soviet textile worker,
worker-student training himself as
a "spetz," a worker from the Donetz
Basin. great industrial center of the
Soviet Union, a metal worker from
Moscow, have thus far sent in cor
respondence.
The Daily Worker will shortly

Imperialists Celebrate
Centenary of French
Oppression i'm Algiers

PARIS, (By Mail).-The French
authorities seem to be making prep
arations to put the native popula-
ton into a good frame of mind in
order to celebrate the centenary OF
the occupation of Algeria by the
French. The case of Issad Ahsena
is attracting much attention.
This native was arrested last Oc-
tober on account of trade union ac-
tivity and he has been kept in prison
ever since without trial. The news
paper "L'Oued Mzab" protested
against this scandalous attitude of
the authorities whereupoa the gov
eminent answered the charges made
against it by .suppressing "L'Oued
Mzab."
ia Lutte Sociale," which is pub
lished in Algiers, then took the mat
ter up and protested against the
continued detention of Issad Ahsene
and against the suppression of
"L'Oued Mzab." The sequel was
that the particular issue of La
Lutte Sociale" was confiscated by
the government. The latest num-
Der of La Lutte Sociale" to come
to hand contains a protest signed
by the editor of the Arabian news
paper "L'Oued Mzab" declaring the
suppression of the latter newspaper
to be an attack upon the freedom
of the press, violation of the ele-
mentary rights of the native popu-
lation and an insult to all con-
cerned.

Both Mr.. Dawes and Senator Deneen
declared that no contributions would be

came to one he wanted he would clamp
the mouth of an empty bottle over it
and put in the cork. At the bottom of
each bottle was small quantity of
cyanide, which caused instant death of
the specimen. 1t was found that GER
tain specimens did not begin their night
flights until midnight; others around
O'Clock in the morning. This made
it necessary for Polling to keep working
most of the night during the busy
season.
To bring a myraid of the flying in
sects to their premises here, the Polings
planted a large flower garden. 1t
blossomed profusely and attracted many
strange butterflies which augmented the
seasons collection.
1t was stated that Notwithstanding
the many orders for specimens which
were filled while at Fort Davis and
that the shipment of more than 10000
we're made to his home near Santa
Monica, Mr. Polling is still 10000 speci-
mems behind in filling orders now on
hand. He hopes to get the remainder
| in Arizona next year.

WINGED SPECIMENS
BRING $1,000 EACH
Green Beetle One of Most
Notable in Collection
of EntomoIogist.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FORT DAVIS, Tex. January S.
Now that the season for butterflies and
moths is ended, o. G. Polling, entomolo-
gist, has shipped his collection of more
than 10000 specimens to his home near
Santa Monica, Calf. where he will re-
main until Spring, when he will resume
his work in the Boboquivari Mountains
of Arizona, near the Mexico line. He
will be located upon the ranch OF
Harry Kinney, he said.
In many respects the work of Mr..
Polling at Fort Davis and in the isolated
Big Bend region, which borders the
RID Grande to the south here, during
the last Summer and Fall was notable
to chronological science and to mu-
seums, schools, colleges and private col
lectors of this country and abroad.
Many specimens which he obtained
were of such rare variety that they
sold readily for $500 to $500 each. He
discovered eighteen new species of
winged insects during his stay here. He
succeeded in capturing males and fe-
males of certain specimens, and by
breeding them he sold their offspring
for as high as 81 1000 each.
One of Poling's most notable finds
was a green beetle, of which there
was but one specimen known to science
