JAVA WORKERS RISE

The expected revolutionary
coup came 10 pass less than
half year later. In Novem-
her, 1926, large sections of the
toilers of Java rose with guns
in their hands. An insurrec-
ton in Sumatra followed.
Buildings were burned 10 the
ground. railways were blasted.
much blood was spilled in
battles between the insurgents
and government troops.
The tactics used by the
rebels of Java and Sumatra
were much the same as l had
witnessed during the barricade
fighting in Hamburg. The
same. also, was the directing
hand behind the scenes.
The risings failed. Hundreds
fell in battle. Hundreds were
wounded. Thousands were
capture and sent to the
prison camps Of New Guinea.
Hundreds were summarily
condemned TO death by mill
tary courts.

CHAPTER NNIH

Albert Walter in Hamburg
had gotten wind Of my Jour
ney 70 the Far East and had
quickly decided 10, have me
transact some of his business
Al the expense Of the Berlin
Office. which financed my trip.
l dressed and scrambled
ashore. In a tavern l met
Hugo Marx. His pale, thin
face showed the usual foxy
smirk. and his eyes were half
closed. He gave me a letter
Of inStruc ions marked
"MEMORIZE -- DESTROY"
and several thick envelopes
containing oney for the
Communist harbor units in
Genoa. Alexandria and Co
lombo.
The Franken steamed sea-
ward. with my mail" slowed
away safely. The first port Of
call was Genoa. 1t rose out
Of the sea in the early morn
ing. an amphitheater OF pearl
gray. yellow and rose against
a background of treeless green
hills with crumbling forts on
their crests.
A Communist had 10 be
careful in Italy. Mussolini's
likeness see med 10 stare
through every shop window
in Genoa. Hawk-eyed young
Blackshirts were in every
street. One wrong word. one
careless move. one harmless
little crime of omission could
consign scores of honest revo-
lutionists to destruction in
the inquisition chambers OF
the Ovra.
The messenger of the Italian
underground" organization
came aboard in the guise Of
a stevedore. He recognized me
by a prearranged sign: a blue
bandanna with a double knot
around the neck. His open,
energetic face belied all popu-
lar conceptions Of the aspect
OF a conspirator.
WAITS PASSWORD
"Give me a cigaret," he
said genially.

and waited for the password

almost playful nonchalance.

lowed leisurely. In'the bosuns
locker. / handed him the
envelope I had received from
Hugo Marx. II had been hid

Italian tore the envelope open
and went over its contents.
II contained some typewrit-
ten sheets and sum OF money
in American dollars. ar
ranged with him 10 come
aboard that night TO take me
TO a conference Of waterfront
functionaries.
The Italian tore the envelope
into tiny shreds. The money
he pocketed. The letters he
fastened TO his thigh with a
rubber band. He was ready
to depart.
"Good luck" said. Don't
forget--tonight."
"Viva LenIn." he replied
with quiet fervor. Ora e
