VAGUE ABOUT "RED" LEADERS ???? / ut Young Bolshevist Soldier Had Hoard of Trotsky, and Incl dentally of Lenina. 1 have Just had a talk with a BoVshevlst soldier, raptured by the Poles f when be was participating In a bold scouting enterprise. He Is a young man twenty-one years old, coming from one of the Interior departments of Russia. He Is Illiterate and a confirmed Bolshevik. Discipline, be said, was very good ;ln the Bolshevist army; still they did .-4,^ not obey orders because they were orders, but "as a matter of conscience." The military forms of address had been abolished and even the officers were spoken to as coraraqes. naturally the soldiers stand at attention be fore their officers; but that was because every soldier In the army follows the bidding of his conscience and **lt would be foolish" not to stand at attention before one's commanderBe had never seen a general or any of the higher officers, but be knew the commander in chief was called Trotzky, and that there was another bead man. He pondered a moment trying J to recall who the second one was. and then suddenly remembered, "Lenlne." He knew nothing more about him. and did not know the names of any other commander. He kept saying "Everyone on our side is a Bolshivik," and seemed to be Impressed with the great power and authority of the Bolshevlkl. When asked who Trotzky was he replied. "A very popular Jew." "The Jews are much liked In the army. They never allow themselves to be captured. They hate the Poles so, and the Poles bate them so?and Invariably murder them ?that they prefer suicide to being made prisoners."?From the Vossisebe Zeitung (Berlin). .

ROYAL PERSON WELL GARBED Augustus of Poland Had Clothes Sufficient for Regiment?Also Had Other Idiosyncrasies. Gentlemen of fashion today are mere paupers when It roraes to attire, as compared to what Xing Augustus GJ of Poland deemed necessary to his comfort. He filled tw? great halls with clothes and had a special watch, snuff box. sword and cane for every one of his hundreds of suits. To go with them he also had 1.600 wiga. Five artists were kept busy painting miniatures of the clothing and keeping these paintings in a catalog that the king might select from each day as he rose. He took the lovely countess of Cozelle as his wife, and the mere fact that she had a husband already mattered little. He appeared at her door one day with a horseshoe in one hand and a hag of 100,000 crowns in the other. The gold he tossed at her feet to demonstrate his wealth and generous Instincts, and the horseshoe he broke with bis bare hands to demonstrate his strength and determination. The lady, Impressed, got rid of her husband at once, obtaining a divorce of fim or? thnt allowed of remarriage. Suspicious historians have hinted that the horseshoe might have been filed a bit before tbe kingly hand tore It apart. Carnegie'a Hardest Bargain.
