Death Either Way

1T IS hard to credit reports from Russia that Leon
Trotzky, the BOlshevk minister Of marine has
ordered the Russian Baltic fleet to put and attack
the allied forces One has learned to expect almost any
extremes Of folly from the Bolshsv but this exceeds all
limits.
Trotzky might want to damage the allied navies mas
much he considers himself at with the allies an
opinion indeed justified by certain evenA in the vicinity Of
Archangel However it seems hardly possible that he
would contemplate sending Russas down the heel ships
and dsorganzed against the mighty fests Of the
allies.
He said to have threatened have all the crews shot
they disobey. They VIII be shot or drowned If they
obey unless they have sense enough to surrender promptly
so they are in bad way- there is any truth IN the
story.
