many of them had actually set out

barefooted for many days, headed for
the nearest seaport. On the way they

persuaded themselves that the mira-
cles of old would be repeated and that
they would regain the land of their
fathers. They crossed rivers and as-

visions proved their undoing. The
struggle and suffering continued sev-,

Refugee Request for Socialist Found-

PARIS.—(J. T. A.)—M. I.onguet,
the grandson of Karl Marx, the
founder of modern socialism, refused
the request of the Soviet government
for permission to transfer the body
of his grandfather from Highgate
Cemetery, London, to Moscow.
In refusing, M. Longuet pointed
out that the Bolshevik interpretation
of Karl Marx's doctrine was entirely
wrong, and for that reason he
thought his grandfather would not
like his memory to be associated
with it.
As reported before, the delegation
of the Soviet government participat-
ing in the Anglo-Russian conference
in London has been carrying on ne.
gotiations with the British govern-
ment for the transfer of the body.
The Soviet government had intended
to spend over $500,000 for the erec.
lion of a monument to Karl Marx in
the Red Square in Moscow.
