TROTzKy URGES GENERAL SERVICE
 FOR REPUBLIC

Moscow, June 28-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The international. sit uation of the Russian soviet republic is such that only a powerful army on the basis of obligatory service can protect it in the opinion of Leon Trotzky, commissioner of war and marine. He has submitted report advocating universal military service for the bourgeois as well as the workmen and peasants, and hopes that the fifth congress of soviets will pass such a measure. Premier Le- nine has approved the report and the details are being worked out.
 In the meantime Trotzky has or dered the registration of all males between the ages of 19 and 40 anl the enlistment simultaneously with the workmen of the bourgeois classes born in 1S96 and 1897. The bourgeois classes will be formed into non-f1ght- ing units to dig trenches and clean barracks and camps. Later they may be promoted to service in the ranks after they have proved "by deeds their loyalty to the laboring class and the poor peasantry.
