AMERICAN WAYS
TAKEN BACK HOME
BY IMMIGRANTS;
__
Arnold J. Toynbee, English histor
ian and one of the investigators of'
Turkish atrocities in Armenia, writingj
the history of Greece in a new his
tory of the Ealkans. published by the
Oxford Press, holds out the possibili-.
ty that the mixed and warring races of,
Southeast Europe may be brought to
a more peaceable consideration of
each other through their common ex-'
peiience as emigrants to America.]
This common experience, he Says, may'
have an important part in keeping the
er e in that Part of the world, wjiere
the spark was struck which set the
world conflagration. How this influ-1
ence works, Mr. Toynbee shows as|
follows:
“Since the opening of the present
century, the chaotic, unneighborly rac
es Of Southeastern Europe, whom no
thing had united before but the com
mon impress of the Turk, hqve begun
to share anoth£f experience in com
mon—America. From the Slovak vil
lages in the Carpathians to the Greek
villages in the Laconian hills, they
have been crossing the Atlantic in
their thoustfrdsi to become dockers
and navvies, bootblaqks and waiters,’
confectioners and barbers In Chicago.
St. Louis, Omaha and all the other
cities that have sprung up like magic
to welcome the immigrant to the hos
pitable plains of the Middle West.
"The intoxication of his new erivlr
onment stimulates all the latent indus
try and vitality of the Balkan peasant
and he abandons himself wholehearted
ly to American life: yet he does not
relinquish the national tradition in
which he grew up. In America work
brings wealth, and the Greek or Slo
vak soon wdrships his God in a fin
er church and reads hid language in
a better printed newspaper than he
over enjoyed in his native village. The
surplus flews home in remittances of
such abundance that they are steadily
raisinq the cost qh living in th6 Bal
kans themselves, or, in other words,
the standard of material civilization.
“It is a strange experience to
Soend a night in some remote moun
tain village cf Greece, and see A
merlcanism and Hellenism faco to
face. Hellenism is represented by
the village schoolmaster. He wears a
black coat, talks a little French, and
can probably read Homer, but his
longest journey has been to the nor
mal school at Athens, and it has not
altered his belief that the ikon in the
neighboring monastery was made by
St. Luke and the Pulaar beyond the
mountain by the devil.
"On the other side of you sits the
returned emigrant, chattering irrepres
s:b!y in his queer version of the
‘American language,’ and showing
you the newspapers which are mailed
to him every fortnight from the
States. His clean linen collar and his
well-made American boots are cons
oicuous upon him and he will depre
cate on your behalf and his Own the
discomfort and squalor of his native
surroundings. His homecoming has
been a disillusionment, but it is a
creative phenomenon; and if any one
can set Greece on a new path it is
he. He is transforming her material
life by his American savings, for they
are accumulating into a capital wide-!
ly distributed in native hands, which
will dispense the nation from pawn
ing its richest mines and vineyards
1.0 the European exploiter, and enable
it to carry on their development on
their own account at this critical
juncture when European sources of
capital are cut off for an Indefinite
period by the disaster of the Euro
pean war. T
“The emigrant will give Greece all
Trikoupis dreamed of, but his great
est gift to this country will be his
American point of view. In the West
lie has leahned that men of every
anguage and religion can live in the
same city and work in the shops and
sheds and . mills and switchyards
without desecrating each other’s
churches of even suppressing each
oiher’s newspapers, not to speak of
cutting' each other’ throats; and when
next he meets Albanian of Bulgar on
Balkan grounds, he may remember
that he has once dewit with him In
fraternity at Omaha, or St. Louis or
Chicago.
“Will this new leaven conquer, and
r’-st out the stale leaven of Hellenism
before it sours the loaf? Common
sense is mighty, but whether is shall
revail in Greece and the Balkans and
Europe lies on the knees of the gods.”
ANT! BOLSHEVIK CITY
IN RUSSIA SAID TO
BE UNINVITING
Omsk, seat of the government head
ed by Admiral Kclchak, as temporary
dictator, to which the Archangel,
southern Russia, and other antl-Bol
ci-evik groups have pledged, co-opera
tion is an historic city, despite its
comparative isolation, according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
“Located on the Irtuisk river, long
er than the better known Volga and
approximately as long as the Missis
sippi. Omsk, erswhile seat of govern
ment of the steppes region dr west
Siberia, under the monarchy was the
crossroads of the routes to central
Russia, Orenburg and Turkestan.
“It jies along the trans-Siberian
railway, running from Moscow to
Vladivostok, a 5385-mile journey tak
ing 13 days, formerly made in an ex
press train equipped with bath rooms
disDensary and library.
"Amid the ruins of an old fort, be
hind the museum of the Imperial Rus
sian Geographical society, stood, until
a few years ago, the houses in which
the famous Russian novelist, Feodor
Dostoievsky, spent his (four years of
civil war.
“Here Dostoievsky wrote his Siber
ian novel, 'Recollections of a Dead
House,'translated into English under
the title ‘Buried Alive in Siberia.’
which is the ‘Little Dorrit’ of the
Siberian exiles. Indeed his subjects
’nd characters have been compared
to those of Dickens, though his treat
ments is far more grim. Out of his
"xoerience with criminals while at
Omsk also came his' ‘Crime and
Punishment, in which, with semipro
nhetic vision, he pictured a future
Russian people freed from bonds otf
force but united by ties of mutual
trust and kindness.
“In the principal square of Omsk
stands the church of St. Nicholas in
which hangs a banner reputed to have
been that cf Yermark, a Cossack ban
dit o’' the Volga who turned over the
vast domain of Siberia to Ivan the Ter

rible iu order to procure his own res
toration to Moscow court favor.
"Thus that tyrannical and talented
Tsar came into possession of the ex
tensive territory which had been wrest
cd ftom the Mongolians by Russians
who had fled from the mad vagaries
of Ivan. This same iva.i, it will be re
called, threw his strength to the dogs,
dared to proclaim himself Tsar though
his fattier had not, then summoned the
first Russian national asheffbly, killed
his son in a fit of anger and took the
hood of the strictest monastic order
just before the end of a disolute and
brilliant political life.
‘‘Founded only about 200 years ago,:
Omsk now is a city approximately the
size of Birmingham, Ala., or Paterson,'
N. J. It is neither well built nor indus- I
trially important. Its nearest neighbor j
along the Irtuisk is Tara, an older city,!
where Peter the Great ordered 700
citizens butchered because they decli
ned to take an oath of allegiance.
“The Omsk museum was a principal
point of interest for tourists, because
of its collection of ethnological relics
of the steppes, or barren plains of
western Piberi?. which includes many
prehictoric speci eons.
"Long a Cossack center, the Siberian
Cobsacks tound Omsk a convenient
rallying place to resist the Bolshevik
i. i lyences which appealed strongly to
a foreign or mixed element in Russia
that has no counterpart in Siberia. De
scendants of many of the colonists
sent to Siberia by the government and
also of many political exiles are of
'qoc-d Russian stock.”
