Ccnsena received The appointment
to the position but two weeks pre-
vious taking the place of Colonel J.
Mtcios, who left with the resignation
of former Governor Cantu. Both men
are alleged to have been Cantu men.
And the position was rendered to Cen

After his disappearance from the
Tijuana post, it is said he was traced

in that city On Tuesday, September 7.
He has disappeared from sight com
Dletely since that time and no trace

sive campaign to develop more trad

NOT CONFIRMED

Sale of the defunct Imperial Valley

Powerful Engine of Propaganda
Serves More Sinister Purpose

The same all-powerfu engine of propa-
ganda is employed for other purposes-to
teach Communism, to enlist support for the
Red army. to foster hatred of England, to
excite a craze for education and to produce
"A contempt for priests and Christianity.
On the day after his arrival Trotzky ad-
dressed a large Communist meeting; and
here j might remark that no such thing as
n public meeting in our sense of the word
is ever held in Red Russia. The Bolshevik
leaders only address meetings which have
been carefully packed with their supporters,
and know Of only one case In which IL was
announced beforehand that they were going
to speak. IL is impossible for any one who

Sees Signs Trotzky Will Not
Always Remain BoIshevist

Most men find it hard enough to deal with
one engrossing subject at a time, but he
switches from one important matter to an
other dozen times in the course of a single
day and comes to a rapid and generally o
right decision each time.
Leroy Beaueu says that "the Jewish
mind is an instrument of precision II has
the exactness of pair of scales; and Trot-
zky has all the mental precision and the ex-
treme intellectually of his race Owing to
this fact and to the fact that he Is very am
bilious and is endowed with a ruthless physi-
cal energy and personal bravery which one
does not always expect to find in Jew,
am doubtful If Trotzky will always remain a
Bolshevist or will always submit to the
deeper but less agile Lenine. Trotzky re-
sembles Lloyd George in many respects. and
I should not be surprised II. like Lloyd
George, he became practically a dictator He

Trotzky Takes Up Great Task
OF Transport Reorgsnization

AS IL all this work were not enough.
Trotzky devoted himself at Ekaterinburg TO
transport reorganization, task which would
alone absorb the energies of a dozen Sir Eric
GeGdeses, and when Krassn went to Eng
land Trotzky calmly took over the Commits
sariat of Ways of Communication on the
ground that as railways played such great
part In military operations he had better
take charge Of them as well as Of the army.

Military Coup Gives New significance to Red
War Lords Pilgrimage Where Forces
Were Raised to Crush White Army

IN the following article Capt Francis
McCuHagh. writing from first hand
facts, sets forth most vividly the manner
in which Leon Trotzky, the Red Minister
of War, personally sowed the seeds of
BoIshevism in the territory where Gen.
WrangePs White army. as later events
proved. was to meet crushing defeat
Capt. McCullagh's narrative is not only
a trained observers intensely interesting
descriptive work, made timely by the re-
cent defeat of Gen. WrangePs forces, but
it brings out in full the significance of
Irotzky's "Red Labor Army" campaign,
which was closely followed not by in
dustrial advancement but by military
coup. His account of Trotzky's visit,
which transformed Ekaterinburg into a
gigantic propaganda hall, gives new and
astounding idea of what Red propaganda
really means and shows again that chaos
and misery ever go hand in hand with
Communism.

Hatred Inspiring Posters Give
Circus Appearance to the Train
All the outside of Trotzky's train was
covered with advertisements of Bolshevism
and indictments to class hatred. Imagine an
American President touring the country in
a train plastered all over with posters like
that of a travelling circus! And yet side
by side with this ultra -Americanism and
Ultra a-modernism (the latter represented by
cubist and futurist productions that looked
like nothing on earth). was good deal of
hoary old Czarism. Close to the futurist
posters stood Lettish guards. who as
merciless as the janizares of an Ottoman
Sultan. About a dozen of them travelled on
Trotzky's train and kept unostentatious but
careful watch on every one who approa ched
or entered It.
The police precautions taken to protect
Lenine and Trotzky are as minute, though
not as evident, as those formerly taken to
protect Nicholas III. Thus the more Russia
changes the more 1t is the same thing 1t

by the hair of the head, so to speak-abreast

Trotzky to do him justice. is remarkable
man. and is idoized by the Bolshevists, who
say. and with truth, that he is the. abest
Minister of War that Europe has produced
during the last six years of Armageddon.
He formed numerous and well disciplined
army out of men who were sick and tired of
warfare and who only supported the Bolshe-
visits originally because the Bolshevists
promised them peace. He did this despite
tho fact that he himself had never been in
the army or studied warfare, except as an
extremely anti-militarist war correspondent
during the first Balkan war.

4ouse Where Gear Was Murdered
Becomes a Political Headquarters

The house where the Car was murdered
was converted into Office of the Political
Department and bore a great painting rep
resenting the Red army charging through
smoke and snow The square In front of
this house had been called Resurrection
Place." but that name has now been changed
to THE Square of National Vengeance"
which shows that the Bolshevists who ought
to know, entertain none of those doubts
about the murder of the Car which some
people in this country still harbor
The street that runs north and south of
that square is called Karl Lebknecht street
and the other principal street, in which the
municipal theatre is situated. Is called Le-
nine street All the remaining streets and
squares have also had their names changed.
Formerly there were few Government in
sttutions and no clubs In Ekaterinburg, but
now there are whole streets consisting of
nothing else. Instead OF promoting business,
however, this multiplication of Government
offices has killed 1t. The dead hand Of
Government control has stified every kind of
enterprise
The town had many Communist eating
houses, but they were only for Communists
And a disagreeable workhouse appearance
they all had. Exactly the same in every re-
spect save that some bore the sign Soviet
Government Eating House For Adults"
and others the sign Soviet Government
Eating House For Children" The chill
dren. by the way, are well fed in both Eka-
terinburg and in Moscow but this is all part
of large and cunning scheme to get them
from their mothers and make them regard
themselves children of the State and not
bound by ties of peculiar affection to any
man and woman.
Repelled by the blank. barracklike ex-
terror of the Soviet feeding troughs tried to
buy food elsewhere, but I found 1t utterly
impossible.
1t was not that the Red army had eaten
up everything or that all the food had been
sent TO European Russia for no foed rau
been sent across the Urals since the Bolshe-
vists came to that town, which lies close to
one of the richest agricultural districts In the
world: and though there had been White
army in Ekaterinburg when l was there last,
the civilians could nevertheless get plenty OF
food The reason for this stoppage lies in
the Socialist theory that the State should feed
everybody and that there shbuld be no pri-
vate restaurants no shops and no middle
class at all. This kills all private enterprise
as surely as a tree Is killed by the cutting
away OF its roots.

TROTZKY, the leader of the Red
armies, visited Ekaterinburg while
/ was there in order, his purpose
was given, to turn two or three of his armies
into Red labor armies and to make his SOL
diers, in sight of all the world, beat their
swords into ploughshares.
The last occasion on which he had visited
the town he was a political convict, and he
had gazed at it through the iron bars of a
prison van. The foreign newspaper corre-
spcndents in Petrograd had INDUCED at that
time in some wild prophecies, but none of
those correspondents mad enough to
prophesy that a time would come when
this Jewish convict would visit, as COM
mander- in-chief of all the Russian armies, a
Siberian town in which, after serving a
long term of Imprisonment as a political
suspect, the Car himself had met violent
death.
Ekaterinburg was gayly decorated in
honor of Trotzkys visit, but the Bolshevist
Minister of War came. unostentatiously
enough, in the night time and refused to
held any parades, inspections of troops or
any other formal functions whatsoever. He
is a slight built, wiry man of medium
HEIGHT, uTeSSeu as private SOluler, anu
without any decoration. He wore a curious
cap which has been invented for the higher
officers of the Red army. 1t is of khaki
clcth, is cut in the style of the steel helmet
worn by the ancient Russian bogatyrs
(knights), and the whole front of it is COW
cred by huge star, the red star of Bolshe-
vism. His i'll developed calves were en-
cased in a pair of British army puttees,
probably one of the many pairs which he
had sent to Kolchak and which had travelled
further west-with the nimble legs of de-
serters inside them.

Trotzky's train consisted of about dozen
carriages. but it could not be described as
sumptuous, consisting mostly as it did of
wagons-lits cars. all of them save Trotzky's
own car, being very much overcrowded with
personnel typewriters. desks, writing tables
and documents.

were cut open and found to contain
seed similar to any other tomatoes.
Sheriff Myers says that tomato vines

Evidently these officials as we'll
as the writer of the above article
are lacking in horticultural know
ledge. The so called tomatoes are
evidently potato seed. The editor
OF this paper confesses having made
the same mistake recently, when a

similar to the above. We have since
talked with number OF farmers and
horticultural experts who have seen
potato seed and say this is perfectly
natural although rare.
