The most startling Impression gained on the long journey." Mr. Freestone said, "was to see Russian, women at so many railway stations doing heavy muscular work. which is done only by men in Westera Europe. I had expected to see Asia tie women doing rough—ouldoor Labour, but hardly women of the Caucesion race. Gangs of husky' Russian ties were louding and ding baggage and cargo, sweeping station platforms and loading piles of timber."
