ARE HIGHER

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 0NSO.
Buliish interests made earnest en-
deavors to inStill some degree of
buoyancy into the curb list today,
but although most Of the active
favoriteS were able to chalk Up
modest pricegainS at one time or
another, the market rs q whole
tended to flllctuate rather evenly
at no great distance from previous
closing levels.
The utility group was moderately
higher all along the line. yet the
surprising feature was that Of all
the favorites In this group, there
was not q single gain Of greater
than fractional proportions.
Oils were again higher, al
though gains were limited.

NEW YORK, Nov. S G.N.SO. .
Wednesdays closing squirt was
carried over in trading on the big
board today and higher prices
were quoted for the favorites in
most sections of the list.
A further boost in wheat and
corn, with silver at a new high
for the year above 80 cents an
ounce and q better tone in the
automobile outlook were the prin-
cipal bull factors.
Bonds Also Higher
Foreign and domestic govern
ment and railroad bonds also
moved into higher price levels.
New advances of a point or
more were recorded in the food
stocks, the Specialties and scat
tering rails, but most Of the gains
were fractional.

Buying of General Motors was
stimulated by the action Of the
directors in declaring the regular
quarterly dividend Of IS cents

were again under pressure, the
latter dropping to new low at

The copper stocks and the oils
were also blocked by fairly heavy

Carelia came upon little group of
men who were trying to cross the
Russian border into Finland. Tattered, half
frozen and hardly able to stumble along, they
looked like ghosts. Upon learning that they
already were on Finnish soil some of them
tainted.
they were taken to the nearby hamlet of
Martukule. There they told the authorities that
they were political convicts who had succeeded
in escaping from the Solovietzky prison. For
two weeks they had wandered in the frozen
Carelian wastes. hiding, starving, feeding on
wild berries; and now. still shuddering at the
memory of the place whence they came, they
implored the authorities to permit them to re-
main in Finland. Kill us If you wish,' they
kept repeating "but do not send us back where
a fate more terrible than death awaits us"

political police, which probably is the largest
prison in the world and which is famous
throughout Russia for the extreme severity OF
its regime. "One cannot rise from ones grave;
one cannot return from Solovki"-it is so that
the people speak of it.
Until recently reliable information on the
Solovietzky prison was comparatively scant. The
Soviet press hardly ever mentions it, nor are
foreign tourists invited here; the Soviets prefer
to display achievements of different kind. 1t
was only occasionIy that a brief record Of the

sent The fact is that Solovetzky outcasts are
an army Of convict laborers While some of the
American and European politicians deep-mind-
edly question, or pretend to question, the ex-
istence of convict labor in Russia, this army,
under violent compulsion, daily tolls to provide
the Soviet state with cheap articles for foreign
export and for home consumption.
Solovh enjoyed wide fame before the revo-
luton, too, but it was a different fame. The
largest Of the islands, Soovietzky Island proper,
for centuries has been the site of one of the
most remarkable Russian monasterieS, with
which numberless poetic legends and historical
"reminiscences are connected. In CZarist days
thousands of pilgrims hocked to it every Sum-
mer.
There is typical charm in most insular and
peninsular monasteries from Mont st. Michel,
in France, to Mount Athos, in the Aegean Sea-
Yet Solovietzky Monastery possessed potent
and peculiar fascination of its own.
Green, cold, strikingly transparent waters;
reddish-gray rocks rising from them and be-
speckled with white seagulls, the STERN granite
fortress walls of the monastery with golden
church cupolas sparkling behind them in the
crystalline air and the truly Arctic calmness
reigning over 1t ALL such are the first impress
sions which one received when the little ship

manned by monks arrived at Solovd Aom
Archangel.
The monastery was founded at the beginning
of the fifteenth century by two kindly old
monk hernits, st. Savyatiy and St Herman,
the two Russian versions Of ST. Francois
d'Assisi. Indeed, a better place Tor complete
withdrawal from the world could not be found
In those days the island was literally no-man's
land, and even in 1914 the territory beyond the
monastery remained uninhabited. From the
hills near the monastery could see a desc
late perspective of rocks, sands, pine and birch
forests, and, above all, lakes-there are 800 OF
them in the island! On clear days they would
dazzle one like an endless panorama of mirrors
rejecting the low, reddish northern sun.
The walls of the monastery's "Kremlin"
(fortress), with their eight towers mounting ans
cient bronze cannon, impress by their mans
moth massiveness; built of enormous uneven
blocks of granite, they are 20 feet thick and
AS feet high. For as the monastery grew over
the tombs of its founders politics intruded
even here. During the sixteenth century it be-
came Muskovia's stronghold in the north. The
Swedes besieged it time and again, but never
took it, and even as recently as 1854, during
the Crimean War, the British feet bombarded
it, but could not destroy it.
RUr it was in Winter that the monastery was
- especially impressive. Winter lasts here for
seven months. The sea, covered with icebergS,
grows black and stormy and communication
with the continent Gao miles distant) becomes
next to impossible. CThe monks did not send
their boat there more than once monthly In
December and January an almost uninterrupted
polar night envelopes the islands. In greensh
darkness, under sky huctuating with the fam
taStic lights of aurora borealiS, in the uproar
of winds, the monastery, with long lines of
monks silently filing into its churches, looked
like a strange dream-like hand gloved in
granite which, with perhaps naive yet un-
shakable faith, held out the cross to the
threatening icebergs Of the Arctic.
Obviously, it is the ideally secluded position

Gently the crossing of the Finn border by such
fugitives led to the exchange of sharp diplo-

In dispositions and articles which these men
have published outside of Russia they draw
gloomy picture of Solovetzky life. Perhaps this
picture is onesided. They may exaggerate the
horrors of it, as it would be only natural to do
for men who did see horrors. Yet in the main
facts (and even in characteristic detais) all of
their accounts agree; this seems to prove that
basicany their narrative is truthful and sincere.

in the islands, but also on the continent be-

convicts was estimated at about $4,000 men,
women and children. Since then it has been
quickly increasing. A. Zatykian and N. Maly-

that now this number has risen to about
