Trotsky's New Army.

Trotsky, former Bolshevik prime
minister, is talking of organizing an
army under iron discipline to fight
the Germans, evidently believing re-

avoidable.
This was the report Ambassador

partment over night. He said Trot-
sky was reported to be very curious
about the Siberian situation and very
sensitive over the report that any OF
the allied nations contemplated en-
tering Siberia.
The authorities regard the message
as significant in view of Trotskys

Year Since Cars Overthrow.
(By J. W. T. Mason, Written for the
United Press.]
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE most
important fact Of today's opening
session of the pan-soviet congress at
Moscow is that only a single year
separates the Moscow conference
ernn, the commencement Of the Rus
sian revolution.
Whatever, therefore, be the out
come of the Moscow deliberations,
the Russians have a right to demand
further consideration and more
patient Judgment from the elder de-
mccra cies.
One year ago today. Nicholas
Romanoff was spending the last
twenty-four hours Of his reign as czar
of Russia. No nation could have
oyerthrown the absoluteism Of the
Romanoffs and reorganize smoothly
operating democracy within twelve
months.
The western democracies have
been trying for nearly four years to
reverse the procedure and to change
their civic governments
Not one during the first year made
q record that entities it to criticize
the slow evolution of a stable democ-
racy in Russia. The working out of
any great national issue in the United
States has never been done in
years time The first year has al
most Invariably shown a discordant
divergence that makes 1t easy to
understand Russia's present troubles.
AS matter of fact, the time be-
tween the cars overthrow and to-
DAVIS meeting of the pan-soviet con-
press has seen a new kind of idealism
born in Russia that is exerting an
increasingly profound influence both
in friendly and in enemy countries.
IF only the pan-soviet delegates knew,
the sympathy so extensively offered
