BRITISH COMMUNISTS "AND "RED" CAVALRY.
London, July 23-British Com- munista in London have sent a message to the Soviet military authorities at Moscow stating that they wish to join the "Red": cavalry troops.
The majority of the applicants are physical weaklings who were conscientious objectors during the war. In their Sunday schools they are now being trained in street lighting, their sclicing of instruc- tion being very much on Boy Soout lines.
Few of them have ever mounted a horse, but the fees granted, for the purchase and care of horse, together with the promised supply of clothing, literature, and pocket- money, have turned the pacifists into potential soldiers
The Russian Soviet, however,
does not want recruits so much sa
