When the bolsneviks began their

Polish men, women and children
formed the volunteer army which

clothes they happened to have on and
took any weapon which they could
find. '
When a walk-out of the employes
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit com
pany occurred recently all Gotham
was in a quandary and st-ange and
varied were the means of transporta
tion brought into use. Practically all
of the routes were tied up and those
who used to journey home on the
rapid subway and "L," rode in trvcks

ance which they could find.
A race of pygmies of such primi
tive characteristics that they are but
little removed from ape men have
been discovered in the forests of the
Belgian Congo, Africa, by Dr. Leon
ard J. Vandenbergh, a Catholic mis
sionary and anthropologist, who re
turned to the Lnited falates recently
from a tour of central Africa which
extended over 11 months. The adults
of the newly-discovered tribe average
about four feet in height. The crea
tures are known to other tribes as
Mambuti, and are very ape-like in ap
pearance, and the males can move
with surprising agility through tree
branches. The exhibition was financed
by the Famous Players-Lasky corporation.
