The plan was TO seize the cen.

position. Eight important
thoroughfares ended at the sta
ton. Spies had been sent tc
find out the strength of police
and troops guarding the termi'
nal. The stocky man wanted tc
fill a local train with armed men

whelm the station. A new con
signment of Russian rifles hac
arrived from Lubbock.
"Once you're inside. mas
sacre every uniform you see"
the stocky man said.
A thin Communist with Z
meek face and a dropping mouth
protested.
'DO ymI want to murder us
ALE" he cried. eco tell Thael-
mann and Brandler and Lenin
to storm the station them
selves"
The stocky man pushed the
defeatist against a door.

Jail Cells Packed

The small Jail was over
crowded. The cells were packed
with arrested men, and new
arrivals were -heFded into the
guard rooms which were so
crowded that men stood on each
others feet. The usual organized
rowdyism Of a band of Com
munists in Jail found no response
in this gathering. A dismal
stencil filled the place, faces
were surly or stole, and except
for the ribaldry of a few IN
toXicated sailors, men spoke in
whispers.
After a wretched hour l was
called out and pushed aboard an
open truck together with many
other prisoners. On the rear
end of the truck, his car bine
across his knees, sat a police
man. We sat on the floor
boards, hands raised above our
heads, while the truck sped to-

the guard with both feet. Both
pitched to the pavement. The
truck stopped, its siren twitter-
ing for aid. A policeman jumped
down from the front seat his
pistol drawn.
Nobody move" he COM
manded.
The next instant he began to
shoot. We tumbled off the
1orrY- in a weiter of arms and
legs, and sprinted away in all
directions. The street in which
the truck had stopped was long
and straight and narrow. but
to the left lay the ancient section
of Hamburg, a labyrinth of
alleys. crooked passages and
,crumbling houses. The denizens
of the Gaengeviertel-the alley
quarter-criminals and down
and-outers Of every description,
hated the police and helped the
hunted.

Though stunned by the Ham

doctrine that no worker has a

defiance and ill-concealed pride

"You have not lost your
fatherland. You never had a
fatherland. You are an inter-
nationalist who has but a
single task---tO help put the
capitalists and their hench-
men into the grave all over
the world
From the sailors home I went
ia the offices of the Communist
Party to ask for aid as a refu'
gee from Germany, and to put
myself at the disposal of the
local organization. The red
checked, sleepy-eyed Dutch Boil,
shevik who received me, glanced
slowly around his disordefly
