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

had been hiding behind It, looked oat
Jast as Ostrofsky fired. The ballet entered
his forehead. Ostrofsky fled with
the members of his gang.
The shooting took place In the woods
near Rumsey road. Ostrofsky and his
friends had gone there to roast potatoes
and'corn. In the party were John
and Raymond Dynnickl, twelve and
ten years old; Helen Ostrofsky, three
yeurs old, and other children. The
fire had been banked and the potatoes
were being roasted when William Berrigan
and his brothers, John, seven,
and Joseph, ten years old, came op
with their cohorts.
The picnickers were startled by a
hall of pebbles from slingshots of the
Berrigan crowd, as the police gathered
the story. Frank Ostrofsky shouted
out to "quit It," bat the fusillade con

Ostrofsky then polled ont the revolver.
This move was met with jeers
by the other side.
"Dare you to shoot I Yon wouldn't

Ostrofsky gave a demonstration, he
told the police. He had a cartridge
belt with thirty-eight .32 caliber cart
ridges. He loaded the cylinder and
shot five times In the ground and once
In the air. At the reports the Berrl

that vantage point continued to Jeei

"Welt. Ill show yon."
Ostrofsky loaded the revolver again
and aimed at the tree as o target. He
pulled the trigger. The elder Berrlgan

was locked up on the charge of Juvenile

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.
Andrew Carnegie, In his autobiography.

was the keeping of rabbits,
and the pets naturally attracted the
small boys of the neighborhood. "My
first business venture was securing
my companions' services for a season
as an employer, the compensation being
that the young rabbits, when such
came, should be named after them.
The Saturday holiday was generally
si>ent by my dock In gathering- food
for the rabbits. My conscience reproves
me today, looking bock, when
T think of the hard bargain I drove
with my young playmates, many of
whom were content to gather dandelions
and clover for a whole season
