<span class="gmail_quote"><span class="gmail_sendername"></span></span>&quot;Living anarchism day to day, the revolutionaries created what Green
calls "an alternative intellectual and moral world." There were
socialist lectures for adults and socialist Sunday schools for
children, and also socialist picnics, polkas, choruses, and saloons.
Drama clubs produced such plays as "The Proletarian's Daughter." Every
spring, the anniversary of the Paris Commune was celebrated in
gymnasiums festooned with scarlet banners. Parsons edited an
English-language newspaper, the <span class="italic">Alarm</span>, which wobbled between weekly and fortnightly, for economic reasons. The city also had a Czech anarchist newspaper, <span class="italic">Budoucnost</span>
, and a trio of German ones: the <span class="italic">Arbeiter-Zeitung</span> came out every weekday, the <span class="italic">Vorbote</span> on Saturday, and the <span class="italic">Fackel</span> on Sunday.&quot; <br>
