His blue eyes were shining; all his
features, somewhat palled by sleep
less nights and starvation, became
more tense and more sharply out
lined. A new leather coat, with a
"fish-fur lining" covered him
strangely and clumsily, but it glist-
ened so! 1t was such a pleasant,
new sensation to feel it around his
shoulders, chest, arms And in An
dronnikov's soul, too, there was a
great renewal. All things and all
people were already different to him
fresh and new.
Next to him stood Ilyich, all
heated, and. bending over the ham
listers of the balcony, he delivered
a speech. turning slightly to right
and to left. He spoke, drawing the
words from the depth of his being,
on account of which the very sound
of his voice was rich, succulent, full
of that special vital power which, in
full stream, pours assurance into
hearts. All Lenin's words were or
binary. But when such a word en-
tiers your heart and you bite into it
it contains kernel. And through
this ardent Lenin, through his fur
rowed, sand-colored face, through
his simple eyes,-are they fiery or
soft brown? - through his whole
stocky figure, Andronnikov was
again enveloped by the strange dir
ziness that embraced him in a pecu-
liza, human way, like something very,
very near. AS if this man were his
elder brother.
In the midst of Lenin's speech
Andronnikov's ears suddenly caught:
at is devilishly difficult thing to
govern a country" "Can it
be that we, with him and similar
people, actually rule the couniry?"
thought Andronnikov. And such a
man: brown coat on Lenin, a
crumpled hat. And what power!
Ardronnikov remembered that metal
pours out in this way: at first hot,
soft, obedient to blows and to the
hand. And after it is poured it
becomes cold, cutting, always power
full, invincible. Thus with power
it is born in fire, in flame. Then
it cools, to become invincible.

BRITISH PARTIES
MAKE GESTURE
All Get Together With
Words for peace"

LONDON, April 24.-The House
of Commons today heard the usual
expressions from the Conservatives,
Liberals and Labor Parties on the
latest disarmament fake. All agreed
in public that disarmament would
be a good thing.
But following the line of First
Lord of the Admiralty the govern
ment spokesman managed to inter-
ject the idea of a delay in consid-
GRAFTON of any actual reductions. In
order not to appear to the voters of
England to be preparing a war on
U. S. imperialism, all three of the
above mentioned parties continued
to carry on the fiction that Ambas-
sador Gibson, in his speech at &C.
neva, proposing transfer of tonnage
from category to category for the
advantage of U. S. and France and
against the interests of England,
actually offered plans for a naval
reduction.
Now Exchange of Notes.
Meanwhile it was understood that
the cabinet discussed Gibson's speech
with a view to instructing Lord
Cushendun at Geneva as to pro-
cedure in preparing for the next
public move. Whether Britain
should send a note to the United
States was understood to be under
discussion. 1t was believed that pre-
liminary conversations already were
in progress at Geneva, but author
tiles were non-committal.
Chamberlain pointed out that diff
ferences between England and the
United States in regard to reduc-
ton of Lavies concerned a formula
for limitation of categories of ships
alone, not TIE principle of relative
strength of the two navies. Britain
has insisted that parity of navies is

BOMB
CITY; WOUND "a
Move From All Sides on
Mexican "Rebels"

NOGALES, Sonora, Mex, April
24.-(U. P.).-Letters received here
today said that "a men and women
were wounded Sunday when Federal
airplanes bombed Navojoa in South
ern Sonora.
The communication said all the
injured were removed to Hermasillo,
capital of the state, for treatment.
A federal plane circled Nogales to-
day and dropped two bombs without
causing any damage.
MEXICO CITY, April 24.-What
little information on troop move
ments was released by the govern
ment today indicated that the gener-
al enveloping movement of the fed
erals continues. The main strength
of the clerical insurrectionists seems
to be concentrated at Masiaca, where
1000 men are entrenched. Their
morale is reported bad, and many
desert every day.
Masiaca, in Southern Sonora, is
on the main line railroad from San
Bias, Sinaloa, where General Gales
has his headquarters, to Guaymas,
a west coast seaport, and from
thence north to Nogales and the
American border. A federal war
ship lies in Guaymas bay and has
the road under range of its guns.
The "rebels," defeated at Masiaca,
would have to leave the railroad and
most of their rolling stock south Of
Guaymas and march across country
to resume their retreat. The feder-
al army vanguard is at the outskirts
of Masiaca.
Fight for the Border.
In the north the "rebels" still hold
Nogales, on the border, but General
Abelarde Rodriguez, governor OF
Lower California, is marching upon
it with superior numbers, and IS
already at Sasabe, so miles away.
There is no railroad between Sasabe
and Nogales.
Other "rebep forces are at Aqua
Prieta, on the border, and the de-
tense of Pulpite Pass over which
the federal general Almazan with
10000 is trying to march, is directed
from Ague Prieta.
A small force of several hundred
"rebels" is reported attempting to
slip past Almazan's army and cut
his only railroad communications
with Oiudad Juarez, Chihuahua. If
this expedition fails, and Alamazan
forces Pulpite Pass, the main rebel
body in Southern Sonora will be in
a hopeless position.

GENERAL STRIKE
House of Commons Has
Prediction Debate

LONDON, April 24.-The general
election campaign burst into a furi-
Gus debate in the House of Com
mons tonight a few hours after
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin had
announced that election day would
be May 80. The speaker was forced
to appeal for order a number of
times.
The debate started with dis
cussion of unemployment. Soon it
became hot dispute between Sir
Arthur Steel-Maitland, Minister of
Labor, and j. R. Clynes, Laborite,
on the responsibility for the general
strike of 1926.
"The real blame lies with those
who preached a general strike with
out considering it." shouted Steel
Maitland. "They induced the work
ers to blunder into it,"
Yellow Socialists Silent.
In answer to this, the Labor Party
speakers either said nothing, or tried
to excuse themselves from the
guilt" of supporting the strike OF
pointed to their record of betrayal
to prove that they were not guilty
of starting the general strike, which
would, had reactionary leaders not
called it off, have saved the miners
from their present unemployment
and misery.
Only the Communists in England
defend the general strike on prin-
ciple.

WON'T Vote NOT

Geneva Conference for

GENEVA, Switzerland, April "a
(UP).-The preparatory disarma-
ment commission, by vote of % to
5, rejected today proposal by
Count Won Bernstorff of Germany
to prohibit bombing by airplanes.
Minister Hugh R. Wilson, in ex-
planning the negative vote of the
United States, said that the moment
had not yet come to settle the prob
lem.
In introducing the proposal, Bern
storff submitted opinions of experts
that in any great city, such as New
York, London, Paris or Berlin, $780,
900 of the civil population could be
killed within two hours by an at
tack with gas and incendiary bombs.

Plan Made to Fight Use OF
PMlque Drink by Mexlcans

MEXICO CITY, April 22.-The
federal government has just an
nounced plans for a wide propa-
ganda against alcoholism in Mexico,
where large part of the popula-
ton degenerates due to the con-
sumption of the native alcoholic
drink, "pulque," the fermented
juice of the maguey plant.
In a message addressed to all
federal and state officials, labor
leaders and educators, Portes Gil
proposes that sports shall be pro-
NOTED in the schools and in the
agricultural and labor centers; that
the dissemination of anti-alcoholic
information will be compulsory in
all public and private schools; that
pictures will be placed in all schools
and theatres showing the evils of
alcoholism; and that leagues of
women against alcoholism shall be
formed.
ANo oAlpulSOly VI IepIeSSlNe
measures against the manufacture
and sale of alhocolic beverages
were proposed because the principal
alcoholic product of the country, and
the most detrimental, the "pulque,"
is so strongly intrenched in the
habits of the peasants and in the
economic interests of a large part
of the population, that any imme-
date repressive measures against
pulque might cause widespread i'm
mediate unemployment and economic
difficulties. 1t is estimated that
about a million acres of agricultural
land is planted with maguey and
gives employment to a million and
half persons. This industry pays
about ten million rubles in taxes.
There are in Mexico City alone
1000 shops selling pulque.

short story, "The Soldiers" acas

of the great leader of the pro-

FROM the telegraph room, where
Hughes and Morses were click

He sat down on the armchair and
wrote on little square of paper, in
clear, tiny, rounded letters:

ton in the shortest time possible.

with Communist greetings,
Lenin."
He pressed button. The secrc-
tary entered, young workman
with simple, stern face. Lenin
sealed the note himself and gave it
to the secretary. Then through an
other door he walked out to the
telephone booth. He spoke with
Arzamas. One could only hear !:
"What? Hello! The center of the
city is still in our hands? In ours?
Hoseholtz is there? | hear, | hear.
The center still holds out? The
workers are armed? Hello! From
what side? From Laishevo? Well.

And again he passed through his
study into the telegraph room where
Hughes and Morses were click
