At Socialist meetings she became as
welcome a. her husband. and on one
occasion received the lions share OF
applause. This was at a meeting on
the East Side, where TrotzlCy met his
most embarrassing experience a. a
public speaker.
Master OF Russian, French and Ger
man, Trotzky was shy on English.
From the first day OF his arrival In
New York he spent much time IN
studying the language. Finally he
announced himself able TO deliver a
speech in English, and against the
advice OF his wife arrangements were
made for the event
As the story Is told by Trotzky's
New York friends. the presence OF
his wife at the meeting, which wsG
designed to win him an audience in
the American press, alone saved the
situation.
She Led Him TO Seat.
II proved a fiasco at the best, but
the wits Of Mrs. Trotzky took the
sting out OF it Trotzky started his
ond sentence, foundered along help
lessly for another moment and came
to a halt As he stood, red-faced and
miserable, racking his brain for the
elusive English words, the audience
giggled, then burst into laughter.
1t was the first time that be had
even been laughed at by a Socialistic
gathering. and he looked helplessly at
his wife, smiling encouragement from
q front seat
She went to his rescue, mounting the
platform, and led him 70 his scat
while she laughingly pleaded with the
crowd to forgive and FORGET his aw-
full English.
Then she gathered his friends Gbout
him and led the merriment that
strengthened Trotzky to bear his hu-
initiation. But it was a great blow
to his pride.

AIRMANC.T.BUCKLEY
WRITES FROM ITALY
Georgetown University Student in
Training for War Service.

A message from the Italian front
to his friends in Washington has
just been received from Charles T
Buckley, a member Of the first year
class an the law school of George
town University last year, who is
preparing for service with the Ital-
ian flyers. Buckley IS engaged to
a Washington girl and is hopeful
that the war will soon end, so that
he may return to America, but he
writes that he is determined to do
hit bit until the cause OF the all
lies is triumphant
The aviator's message is 70 Hugh
J. Fegan, secretary Of the law
school. He writes from Froggia,
Italy, Dec. II, in part as follows:

rest of the faculty of GEORGETOWN

done by one Of its many students
in Uncle Sans service.

ians designate as the second brevet.

me eligible for at least a first lieu
tenancy in the L. S. army and also
for the renowned Italian insignia,

We are in training here to be-
come pilots on Capronis. of which
plane, / take it, you have heard a
great deal Bombing, ] am told, is
to be the main topic in the great
aerial game which our country is
preparing for. So probably after
our course is finished here we will
be sent back to the States as in
structors or dispatched to the front
for service. We are not far from
the actual battle lines. The Caproni
plane has been adopted by the
Italian forces for bombing.
There is nothing much else that
I can tell you. except that we are
the only Americans in Italy engag-
ed in this branch of the service. so
far as I have been able to learn,
and the people here are perfectly
wonderful to us. They have or
ganized a class in italian for us at

NOW, ABOUT MUTTON
CUT EN- HOG STYLE
Fancy Way of Carving Carcass Un,
der Conserver's Ban.

No more fancy styles in mutton
chops,
You must either eat 'em cut plain
old hog style" or consider your
self a milestone about the neck of
democracy.
In bulletin issued by Charles ].
Brand, chief of the bureau OF mark
cts, it is shown that for 10 these
many years we've been eating lamb
that was dressed in an entirely i'm
proper and wasteful manner, which
causes no small degree of waste,
and accounts in many instances for
that strong. unpleasant taste you
sometimes get from what looks like
a choice chop.
The bulletin quotes from an ad-
dress recently made by an expert
packer, and reads in part:
In all the foreign countries
where the question of food control
has been one of extreme necessity,
We find them dressing their lambs
absolutely plain, or hog style as
we term it in this country the fat
being retained at the point of
slaughter and is readily converti-
BILE into food products. In this
country. in eighty per cent of the
carcasses we kill, the fat is shipped
with them, and that portion of it
that is not saved. not the whole of
it by any means. eventually finds
it's way into the grease tanks. In
addition to the actual food loss in
this method of placing the caul on
various parts of the sheep, the fat
has a tendency to retard the proper
refrigeration Of the product and is
also the cause Of it spelling unless
handled under absolutely proper
conditions. All of US are familiar
with the amount of lambs that have
shown Shiny and sour spots under
meath the caul."
Rapid cooling of a liquid produces
tine crystals; the slower it changes

WE WON'T Resign
IS LIBRARY SLOGAN
Victoria Cross" Worn by Employees
Loyal Despite Low Pay.
''V. c. I will not resign"

That's the slogan on a little badge
which some employees of the Public
Library have been wearing. The "v.
c." means Victoria Cross" of course,
and the rest is self-explanatory.
The high salaries offered in the gov
ernment departments have lured some
employees of the Public Library, but
there are those to whom the well-used
volumes Of the library mean more than
gold. and they have sworn allegiance.
They have signed the pledge" OF
loyalty, and no matter how temptingly
the higher salaries offered in. other oc-
cupations may be held up to them,
they will withstand temptation and
stick to their old jobs. The Victoria
Cross was decided upon by those en-
ployes who made UP their minds to
"stay with the ship" ~ s"
DR.. George F. Bowerman brought
this matter to the attention of the
library trustees at their meeting yes
terday. The salaries of the library
employees are fixed by Congress, and
unless that body authorizes an in
crease these loyal members of the H.
brary staff may experience consider
able sacrifice because of their pledge
to stick. ..

NEW RUSSIAN
RULERS FACE
FRESH CRISIS
The Anti -Bolsheyiki Faction.
Shows Strength in Con-
stituent Assembly.

The trouble between the Petrograd
government and Rumania is due to
the anti-Bolshevik tendencies of the
general in command of the Russian
troops in Rumania, rather than TO
Rumanian opposition. according to in
formation in official quarters here.
The incident is considered to have
especial significance in view OF the
anti-Bolsheyik victories in the con-
stituent assembly at Petrograd. The
.conyening of the assembly is proving
the crucial test OF Bolshevik power.
Ofhcials believe that the peace
negotiations at Brest-Litovsk will be
allowed to continue pending the re-
suit Of the political struggle in Petro-
grad. It is also believed that the Ger
man foreign minister, Won HuehI-
mann, will be left In charge of the
negotiations Of the central powers
until control at Petrosrad has been
settled. :. -
Should the constituent. assembly
elect q new government at Petrograd
1t Is predicted that Gen. Hoffman,
pan-German leader. will assume the
leadership at Brest-Litovsk and that
negotiations will be abruptly term
mated.
In Russian circles here 1t is ad-
mitted that the meeting of the con-
sutuent assembly will by no means
end turmoil in Petrograd. While the
constituent assembly claims to repre-
sent all the Russians and to sit as
the legal successor OF the revolution
ary government, which all the nations
recognized under Rerensky, the Con-
gress Of Workmens and Soldiers
Delegates and Peasants Congress are
also national bodies meeting in Pet
rograd and claiming the reflect ma
tionaI opinion.
The Bolsheviki, through their con-
troll Of Petrograd by the Red Guard
dominate the Workmen's and Soldiers
Congress. As the SUCCESSORS OF the
Kerensky government they claim to
speak with authority for Russia.
1t is admitted here that pro-ally
sentiment Is growing in Russia The
Germans have already lost prestige
through their insistence in holding
troops in the occupied provinces until
a general peace assigned Ambassa-
dor Francis. according to recent re-
ports, has succeeded in Strengthening
the position of both England and the
United States with the elements that
will control the constituent assembly.
