One thing is certain: France won’t

INHUMANITY

(l»y Peggy Hull)
VLADIVOSTOK, April 21 - T. «•
monstrous inhumanity of Kasdan im
perialism is reflected today in eve y
part of Siberia. Every day in the
streets of Vladivostok, a city of exiles
there a re scenes of crui Ity and vj *
iou ness. Illind. stumbling, half-P d
horses are beaten to death in the pr» -
sence of the passing population, a?, i
no one offers to protest.
I saw two small boys stoning a sick
dog and in the next block anothe .
run over by an automobile, lay crusl -
ed and leg mangled, shrieking with
pain. Dozens ol people passed and <m
}\ i few turned their heads. A ( an*
ad.an guard ended the shrieks and the
dug’s misery. The other dog Iv l die 1
by the time th« Canadian and 1 ha i
reached it and • .>ay two inipi.h face*
grinning victoriously from a stone
wall.

They explained they had just suc
ceeded in getting the remains ot ;•
murdered Chinese coolie removed.
“The guard found him three days
ago,” said Captain Norbert Morin, C.
A. M. C., “and we notified the citv
authorities. The next morning the
body was stid here but all the clothing
had been stolen during the night. W»
made another complaint with the re
that they came this morning and
got what the dogs had lo*t!

diiyer beat it with a heavy whip. H
was the climax of a day ot passional
protest ami l started on the run down
the hill. 1 had nothing to combat th
coolie with but -here were plenty o.

By the time 1 had reached the red
spot whore the horse stood shivering
and dripping with blood a British col
onel. six feet tall anti broad shoulder

a rid mg cron.
And while the coolie waved hi>
a.m- in violent objection and scream*
od at us in a strange tongue, the col
onel turned the horse back. But it
didn't go far. It dropped in the shafts,
trembled and died.
“Why are all the horses blind?"
1 asked the colonel as we walked
a\va\ from the coolie.

“Because their drivers beat their
eyes out," replied the colonel. “That

they do when they get a horse."
