sick with diabetes and serious
heart condition, was again thrown out
on the street with his family. Two
armed thugs guarded the house in
case the family might try to get out
of the chill night air and sleep in

AL the food they had was half

Henri Barbusse, the eminent
French writer and anti-war leader,
was invaded three times during
the World War and returned three
times to the front. In 1915 the first
and most famous of all war novels,
Under Fire. appeared and Bar
busse was denounced by the mill
tary authorities. Since then he has
devoted his great talents and ener-
gies to the working class movement
actively participating in the organ
ization of European anti-war con-
crosses. Barbusse will pay his first
visit to America as a delegate to
the United States Congress Against
War, when he will be the principal
speaker at the mass meetings to-
morrow at Mecca Temple and st.
Nicholas Arena, New York City.
At THIS moment there was a dull
"A noise; cries broke out around us,
and we shuddered. A length Of earth
had detached itself from the hillock
on which-after fashion-we we're
leaning back, and had completely ex-
humed in the middle of us a sitting
corpse, with it's legs out full length.
The collapse burst a pool that had
gathered on the top of the mound,
and the water spread like cascade
over the body and laved it as we
looked.
Someone cried, His face is all
black"
What is that face?" gasped a
voice.
Those who were able drew near in
circle, like frogs. We could not gaze
upon the head that showed in low
relief upon the trench-wall that the
landslide had laid bare. In place Of
the face we found the hair, and then
we saw that the corpse which had
seemed to be sitting. was broken, and
folded the wrong way. In dreadful
silence we looked on the vertical back
of the dislocated dead, upon the
hanging arms, backward curved, and
the two outstretched legs. that rested
on the sinking soil by the points Of
the toes.
I'm going to die" The echo came
at that moment exactly from Para
dis neighbor, who no doubt had ex-
amined the wound In his belly. I'm
sorry on account of my children"
A STILL more violent blast of wind
n shut our eyes and choked us. When
it had passed, and we saw the volley
take flight across the plain, seizing
and shaking its muddy plumber and
furrowing the water in the long gap
ing trenches-long as the grave of an
army-we began again.

mass and the horror of war;"

In publishing the following letter,
the Daily Worker calls upon other
miners to send similar correspondence
from the mining regions. The reason
for the Daily Workers failure to
print a story on the Progressive
Miners anniversary meeting is that
no news of it was sent in. Other
miners, as well as MS. are urged
to report happenings in their local
tiles regularly. II

simply a group of politicians trying

This might have been a camera
mans picture, for it contains some
of the most beautiful snow and ice
photography that has been presented
on the screen in many months. But
all of the camera beauty is sacrificed
for Hollywood formula PLOT. Had
the producers been content with an
unadulterated documentary film this
would have probably been something
of masterpiece. The photographers
have taken great pains to capture
realistically drifting glaciers newborn
icebergs, fighting polar bears, breath
taking billiards and snow drifts. Ar
mold Fanck supervised this film. And
it is no secret that he is the greatest
authority on snow and ice photo

type of film. All those who have seen

STARS
WIN CONTEST

One of the best games of the
present season was witnessed by a
capacity crowd at Wilson field last
night when the Ell Centro All Stars
took the San Bernardino team
into camp by the score of 5-3.
The visitors took the lead in
the third inning when they push
ed over a score. The locals tailed
three in the fourth when Les Flores
raped out a single which scored
Ted Ehmke and Hurst and scored
himself a moment later on an error.
In the fifth and sixth frames the
visitors tied the score and until
the last of the eighth it was any
body's game. In that inning Flores
again was the hero, his single
bringing in Black and Hurst with
the tallies that put the game on
ice.
Probably the most interesting
feature of the game was Stewards s
pitching. He had come down here
highly touted and certainly lived
up to all advance dope. He held
the locals to but four hits and
struck out 13. The hits, however,
came at the most opportune times
