London, January 13. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” savs that a piquant sidelight on the conditions in Russia is provided bv the report of the Soviet Commissariat of Education, dealing with child vagabonds, showing that in European Russia there are 150,000 child vagabonds and 300,000 semi-vagabonds. The figures do not include the Ukraine and the Caucasus, where there are countless such waifs. The Soviet has decided to round up 30,000 of Moscow’s vagabonds in 1926, hoping to distribute them among the peasants, who will be enticed to adopt them by offers of extra land and money. —“The Times.”
