fttutwmis department. Both Hit It.?The Chinaman could speak, but little English, and the Eng lishman could speak no Chinese; nevertheless, the dinner went oft' agreeably. There was one dish that pleased the Englishman. It was a rich stew of onions, pork, mushrooms, and a dark, tender, well-flavored meat that tasted like duck. The Englishman ate heartily of this stew. Then he closed his eyes, lifted his hands, and shook his head with an air of ecstasy. After his compliment to the dish, he said interrogatively: "Quack, quack?" "NTo, no," said the Chinaman. "Bowwow." Took Lots of Rest.?A big Ameri can Indian asked a farmer to give htm work. "But you Indians always get tired," said the farmer. "I never get tired. I'm not like the rest," was the answer. So the farmer set him to work. On coming round later to see how he was progressing, he found the Indian asleep under a tree. "Hi' you." he said. "I thought you never got tired. Wake up!" "I don't ever get tired," said the Indian, yawning, "but I should if 1 didn't rest a good deal." Vli* .. ? The Problem.?A man who had obtained wofk in a railway yard was told to mark some trucks. "Here's a bit of clialk," said the foreman. "Mark each of 'em eleven." A little later the foreman came round again. There was a large "I" on the first truck. Nothing else had bettti done. "Whut does this mean?" asked the t loroman. "Only on<^ truck done? and I said eleven, not one.'

Mrs. Harrison made in a box car in charge of a red guard. A very vivid idea of the Soviet description of the accommodations?. "Our quarters in the staff car," she writes, "were close, to J say the least, but we were lucky, it seemed, to have those. A compartment for two was reserved for four of us, and there, with the exception of u few venturesome visits to the toilet, we spent the next thirty-six hours. I | occupied the lower berth, the doctor (a Jewish woman) and the commissar's wife the upper berth, and the soldier slept,,on the Hoor. Standing in the corridor was irh|>ossible, because it was riiled with a solid mass of soldiers, who insisted, in defiance of discipline on I occupying it. They made it almost impossible for us to open the door and our escort had to fight his way out to [ get hot water to make our tea from the samovar machines that arc in operation at each station. The rest of the train, which was entirely composed of box cars, was packed, people even sitting on the roofs and bumpers, and there were fights at every station between persons trying to get on and off." Shadowed by the '"Checka." Arrived in Moscow, an up we Iconic I guest, she went through the usual forms of search and inquisitorial investigation and was finally allowed by Ghecherin, head of the foreign office, to remain, at first for a few weeks in apparently unchecked freedom, later to become conscious of the fact that _ i wherever she went the lurking shad- | ows of the checka?the secret police | bureau of the Soviet?were (logging her footsteps and watching her every action. Her first glimpses, of Lenine, and Trotsky were obtained at an open Soviet meeting at the opera house, arranged with dramatic effects?garlanded portraits of Lenine, Trotsky, and Marx were everywhere. Red fldgs 1 draped from the galleries and around the stage, multitudes of banners in evidence displaying the matter of the red republic, "Proletariat of the World, Unite."

He is a short, thick set, unimpcsing looking little man, with colorless hair and complexion, a small pointed beard, piercing gray-blue eyes, and a quiet, unemotional, almost monotonous manner of delivery. After a few words, However, 1, like every one else, began to listen attentively. It was not magctiq eloquence that held me, it was the impression of tremendous sincerity, utter self confidence and quiet power. He is absolutely sure of himself and his idea and when he speaks to tho people he has a talent for pickng out the simplest possible words to >xpress his meaning. Trotsky, while Lenine was speaking, sat with his head bent, scribbling industriously on a pad?a broad shouldered man of midJ,~ uiin-htlv inclined to stout *'< " ? ? less, but erect and military in his aearing. The line of his mouth was lard, cynical, almost forbidding, until le began to speak, qnd then I suddenly realized that there was something compelling about the man's personality. There was something almost exultant in his expression as his eyes iwept the enormous crowd in front of nim and it seemed to me that subconsciously it was mingling with a certain racial pride. I could almost imlgine him as saying, 'For the first time since the days of the Maccabees, I, a Jew, am the head of a great army.' " Naturally interested from a woman's standpoint in the position of women in tho Soviet scheme and the much mooted question of sex relntions. Mrs. Harrison called upon Kolontai, "the only great woman publicist among the Communists," and found her a Bolshevik do luxe, living in luxury at the National hotel. "She was wearing an exquisite boudoir gown of green velvet, trimmed with sable, her little feet were encased in velvet slippers of the same shade and she was altogether chic and charming. Evidently she has gt'eat ref,,,. ii#h noracmal annearance, and although not young, she is an extreme- j ly pretty woman of the fragile blond | type. She is the daughter of an im- I perial general and a lady to her linger , tips. We talked principally about the! education of children, which is her ' chief hobby. She told me- that she j considered family life absolutely subversive to the interests of the Commune, that children born should be regarded us the property of the state, that they would develop a much more genuine sense of social responsibility in the atmosphere of the institution reproducing the Commune than in the home, which is under the influence of putriarchlul system.

A widespread looseness of sexual relations is found everywhere, much of it, however, the correspondent says, an inheritance from the old regime. The number of "kept women" in the Soviet offices is enormous. Trotsky is notorious for his open liaisons. "In prison." says Mrs. Harrison, "I met a young "kraniun girl of great beauty I and charm, who had been his mistress for a few weeks. 'Trotsky tobl me j once." she said, 'that I was the only J woman with whom he had had an affair who never asked him for food supplies.'"

'I'd like to,' I answered, 'but I have no bathing suit.' 'That makes no difference,' they answered. 'Nobody wears a bathing suit in Kusiia. Come down to the river and s< o for yourself.' When I got there I saw the mast startling, sight I have ever witnessed. At , this point the river made a sharp turn. , throwing up a bank of fine white sand which' made an ideal beach.
