SOVIET STAMP BEARS 4 HORSEMEN IMAGE Allagory Unintentionally Printed on Cavalry Mobilization Emblem. MOSCOW (Special).—On the occa- slon of the tenth anniversary of the organization of the Red army's first regular cavalry detachment a special stump has been issued which bears a design strikingly similar to the tradi- tional picturizations of the four horse- men -of the Apocalypse. Four riders are shown in a mad race across the face of the stamp, on which is roughly outlined a map of the European sec- tion of the Soviet Union. Undoubtedly the designer of this somewhat unusual stamp would deny anything resembling Dbiblical inspira- tion for his work and would insist that there could be no possible connection between his four Red army cavalrymen and what he, if he were acquainted 2t all with the Book of Revelations, would undoubtedly describe as the fig- ments of St. John's imagination. ‘The first of the horsemen pictured carries a large red banner, his three companions, each leaning far forward on his horse, carry their weapons sbove their heads. The stamp, which is of 14 kopeks value, is so colored in red and green as to give it something of the appearance at first glance of & Red Cross seal. At the corners is caption: “Ten years of the first mounted division.” Perhaps it is of interest to note that one of the horses which St. John saw in his vision was red. Here is the text: Revelations, Chapter 6, Verse 4: “And there went out another horse that was red; and power was given to him that sat’ thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.” PUBLIC LIBRARY The Tariff. ), connection with Cuba's request, for & Ioratorium on tariff increases for tWO' the Public Library calls at- tentioh to the following references: Boks and Pamphlets.
