lay on hid back like a drowned ma mas they did at the life-savine pfactice at the club. He closed hif eyes in a complete surrender to his weakness. It even seemd to him that he fell asleep, as he rose and feel breathlessly between one wave and the next. But probably he had lost consciousness.
 Once he was surprised to see a large star motionless in a patch of cloudless evening sky. Then the water washed again over his eyes. He struggled to the surface, tug ging on his will as if on q rope. The effort brought him to his sense. His heart was strangely empty, but he still kept on swimming without a notion wither it might lead. The waves were still high, but more reg ular and not madly piled up one against another. The storm ragged on, but there was now more force in 1t than hysteria. Yes, and there was in truth large star in a rift of quiet evening sky between the clouds.
 Then. though 1t seemed incredi- ble. a light came dancing over the water toward him, and just as he was on the verge of losing cons sciousness he forced himself for ward to meet 1t. He tried to give the short yodel that the inhabitants of Frauense use among themselves. But his throat and lips seemed to be gripping by cramp that gave way only to his panting breath, and so he scarcely made a sound. He swore, and his arms fell limp. His legs alone kept up their stroke. He had g cramp of the wind pipe. He was suffocating.
 Then close at hand there was a lantern, dancing over the lake, and a. huge stern-oar with a blad as broad as q stable shovel, quite near-one of those oars the Frau ensee peasants use. It dipped and rose again in the water quite close to Martins head. He stretched his hand out. Near by rose a dark con fused mass of wood, boat, oar, and gunwale. There was a voice there as well.
 "Climb in. boy" came the voice through the tumult. Hold tight, and I'll pull you through. Not into the boat or you'll sink us. Now then, boy, can you hold on?'
 Before Martins eyes there was q circle of light in the darkness. For Q moment he had clear sight of white foam sweeping by in the gleam of the lantern. He came on hand that was so close to his face that it seemed of giant size, and then he saw pair of eyes be- meath the hood of dripping-wet woolen cloak. There was nothing beside but darkness and beating waves. Suddenly he was filled with wonderful confidence and strength. He took deep breath and drew in the air with case. He had been giving in when he had

headway. It seemed to him that he was dragging his limbs not through watre but through Q thick, cohesive masg-an icy lava, cold and yet burning. The lake was now trans- formed into mountainous waves with swirling valleys between. The sky hung low and lowering. It was very yellow. and aweird metallic light fringed the black and heavy clouds. The shores had vanished. A confused and angry roar of thun- der, tempest and hail broke over Martins head. A rush of water was dashed against his face when he looked up. It filled his mouth, and for a few seconds he fought for ed. A wave caught him up and he breath while he coughed and chok- sat like a pigmy on great wet palm. When after Q second or two he opened his eyes again, all was dark. He knew no longer where he was. He did not know in what di- rection he ought to swim.
 For a while he lay on his back and considered matters. The lake had gone crazy beneath the storm. Martin was tossed hither and iIhtHGT ilhe II TuDDcT Uulis OHCC hc thought of litle Matz and wonder ed whether he had put back in time with his old tub, and also he thought o fthe safety of his stop- watch which has cost him such a sacrifice not to pawn. Then for time he thought of nothing. for there was no breath left in his body.
 Suddenly he realized the danger he was in. Damn it," he said, as he tried to turn on his side. Damn it all" And then he swam on again He was panting now. His heart thumped against his ribs. and the strength ebbed swiftly from his stiff fening limbs. This lasted a long time, At last, when he knew that 1t was a mater of life or death, the fury of the waters semed to enter into him. He fought. He plunged his arms into the water as If grappling with an enemy. He cried out, and this-since 1t cost him breath--was an utterly senseless thing to do. But he had to give vio- lent expression to his rage and sense of impotence. Amid the storm he heard his own panting breath.
 Finally when 1t was quite dark. when tn re was not trace of the shore and not glimmer to give him his direction. he gave up. Per- haps he was merely being swirled in circles over this thrice damned

Do the children have a pet of some kind? hope so, because there is something invaluable in the relationship between a helpless animal and a small child. l Perhaps a child instinctively feels the similarity of their cases - the same dependence on him that he has on his parents.
 The affinity of 0 boy and a dog cannot be analysed, or the love of a little girl for kitten. It might be reduced to philosophy that Horatio did not know, but whether or not there Is name for it does not matter. Children can becom" fonder of animals at times than of other children.
 This being the case 1t seems un- wise to deprive them of such sat isfaction. And there is another side to it that is valuable, besides the creation of a bond.
 Children should learn responsi bility early in life. If 1t is plant cd in their small breasts in some form when they are young 1t takes it's own turnings quite easily latei on. The responsible child is the responsible adult. The irrespor. sible one, with nothing to think of but his own interests, becomes only too frequently selfish man or woman.
 In this matter of a pet. 1t is well l to allow the child to take charge of 1t himself whenever possible. In the first place 1t. should be a nice, friendly. safe little dog or cat, and in the second place clean one. If it Is to be handled, then. 1t must be kept clean. knew a lit- tie boy once who had pet lamb and he bathed 1t in soapsuds, prob- ably to it's amazement, but with very satisfactory results.

In the garden below the terrace white aproned walters were shut ting the big red tea-garden um- brellas and carrying them indoors. That pointed to steady rain. There was not boat on the lake--only one, at least, and this rocked about as if labored heavily to and fro in a perfectly aimless fashion. Martin recognized 1t at once. It was the old, broad -beamed emergency boat of the bathing station. manned by little Matz, who appeared to mak- ing no headway against the increas ing force of the wind.
 Martin raised one arm above the water and sent a short. yodelling call over the lake. The answering call could only be guessed for 1t was swept away by the wind. Mar tin smiled, but he was a litle anx- ious all the same. Now the boy was getting the boat along< though ;tt was shipping water all the time, and with him was the stop-watch that he revered like fetish. The lake was in an ugly mood, and the waves brolN relentlessly over Mar tins head. The Furmtal shore for which Martin was making was far away and it's outlines were obscur- ed by mist. The white walls and dark trees of Castle Dobbersberg alone stood out clear on an emil hence jutting out into the lake. Martin took his bearings once more by the Wurmtal landing stage of the motorboat, which he could hear footing Ii. the distance without be- ing able to SC it.. The familiar sound made the vacant expenses of the lake seem rather more friendly.
 He yodeled across to Matz once more. They were farther apart now and 1t looked as if the boy had to turn back to the bathing beach. But perhaps 1t was the wind from the west that, drove him backward. or else he was trying to tack. For q moment Martin considered return

OSLO-Under mass pressure the
Norwegian government has decided
not to grant the murderer of Karl
Liebknecht, Captain Pflung- Hartung,
permission to stay in Norway. Hart

Sweden. This man who had the cour-
age enough to murder an unarmed
and wounded man in cold blood has
not courage enough to return to Ger

after his part in one of the vilest
crimes in history became known. He
is begging the Scandinavian govern
ment to give him permission to stay
there on the ground that his life
would be in danger If he returned to
Germany. Hartung is of course a
fascist. In an interview with the
'"T1gens Tegen" he tried to shift the
responsibility for the murder off his
shoulders by declaring that he did
no more than carry out his orders.
He declares that the order for the

of the class struggle. The theses say that the
fundamental political tasks of the second Five
Year Plan include 'the final liquidation of the
capitalist elements and of classes in general"
and "the conversion Of the whole of the work.
ing population of the country into conscious and
active builders of the classics socialist society"
These words express the chief elements of the
political character of the second Five-Year Plan
Marxism- Leninism teaches that Socialism is
the abolition of classes, that Socialism Is the
creation Of the classics society. In the words
just quoted, therefore, there is formulated the
task of establishing Socialism.
Is the task in regard to classes correctly set
up here? Is the task Of abolishing classes as
set up in the theses of the &C. capable of
realization? In my opinion this task is not only
correct, not only capable of being carried out
but that only such a political setting of the
tasks of the. second Ffve-Year Plan follows from
the policy of the Party, from Marxism.
The chief question that must be considered
here is, how far is it correct that in the second
Five-Year Plan we can set ourselves the task of
finally abolisfing the capitalist elements. That
is the essence of the question.
If one approaches the question of classes in
the following five years from this angle, then
and only then, can one concretize the question
putable answer. Let US examine the main
question.
The economic plan adopted by the Party for
the year 1882 assumes that, already at the end
of the first Five-Year Plan, the share of the
whole private sector in the national income will
amount to less than 10 per cent. The next fact:
We have already more than so per cent of the
peasant farms organized in collective farms; and
there can be no doubt that the tasks set by the
Party, practically to complete collectvization in
the Soviet Union in the years 1928, will be
fulfilled This, however, means that already in
the course of the next two years, as result of
complete colectivization, the liquidation of the
main part of the capitalist elements in the vii
lage will be realized. To this there should be
finally added that the capitalist elements in big
industry have long since been ousted and that
in small industry and commerce they are play
ing rapidly decreasing role. Consequently
there can be no doubt that in the second Five
Year Plan the Party can and must put the task
Of finally lquidating the capitalist elements
