Trotzky;S Career EuenHul;
Not Proven a German AQent

he procured employment as an editorial
writer with the socialist daily Novy
Mir. published at II st. Marks place,
this city. The moving spirits of this
publication are D. Oldfield and Max
Maisel, the latter dealer in stationery
supplies at Grand and Attorney streets.
His Weekly Salary Was $40.
up to the time of Trotzky's depart
ure from this country he was employed
with the Novy Mir. and the books of
this publication show that he received
a weekly salary of $50. He also was
permitted to write editorials for other
publication, the VolksZeitung, publish
ed at Is Spruce street by the Volkszei-
tung Socialistic Literature Company In
vestigation at the office of the Volks-
zeitung shows that Trotzky was pala ia
at the rate of SIS for each editorial he
wrote. His relation to and connection
with the Volkszeitung was chiefly
through the editor of this publication,
one Ludwig Lore, one of the recog-
nized German socialist leaders in New
York city. Trotzky sailed from New
York via the steamship ,kristiania-
ford on March 81, 1917. He was accom-
panied by his wife and two children
and the following persons: VASTLY
Lichezew, Grigory Czulowsky, Gershon
Melniczansky. Aaron Litwak, Felga
Wakstein and child, Konstantin Ro-
manchenko, Stepan Stukaos, Triton
Kuguta, Stepan Ermelenko, Sholm
Kontororovwich, Ivan Bondaranko.
Terentz Rudenko, Alexander kossakov-
sky and Scloima Dukon
In al! Trotzky for himself and party
paid s1,394.50 for passage money, which
consisted of sixteen second-class tickets
at the rate of $50 each and one first
class ticket, S114.50, Scloima Dukon be-
ing the only member of the party that
Travelled first class. The tickets were
arranged for through Russian steam
ship company and an insurance agent
by the name of Henry c. FARO, who mas
steamship ticket office at Sd avenue.
Il am informed that the steamship
tickets were paid for in our currency,
and while Trotzky was the spokesman
most of his companions accompanied
him to the agency Office, and the steam
ship agents recollection is that each
paid for his own ticket and that
Trotzky collected the money from them
right in the office.
Il have been unable to verify from
the Russian consul that he advanced
any funds to Trotzky to return to Rus
sia The consul states that at the time
TrotZky left he made application to the
consul for funds, but it seems that the
Russian government had not made pro-
vision at that time for the proper cred

while Trotzky did not get any funds
from the Russian government, II seems
that a few weeks after Trotzky depart

RUSSIANS CLASH
ON PEACE PLANS

NEW YORK, March 18.-The first
serious clash of authority between the
extremist factions in the Russian gov

acceptance of Germany's peace terms.
A continuation of the war against Ger
man, either formally or as revolu-
tionary movement, is made practically
Gel tain by this split.
The social revolutionary commissaries
who refuse to continue to cooperate
with peace government are probably
acting under the influence of Leon
Trotsky, who has deserted the perma
nent peaction of the Bolsheviki to be-
come commissary war. If the indica-
lions are right that suggest Trotsky

Men of greater activity and clearer

TO the front The refusal of the social
