Leon Trotski, Peoples comniissar for
war, got an ovation that lasted for some
minutes This demonstration was re-
peated when Lenine appeared.
Lenine advanced many suggestions for
the reha bilitiation of the country.
While speaking of concessions he made
the following interesting point regarding
the peasants:
THE question Of concessions has
aroused suspicion in the minds of some
people throughout the country, who are
prone to consider such action equivalent
to selling Russia to foreigners. Peasant
representatives came here to Moscow and
said they would be willing to suffer an
other three years rather than see their
mother country Russia-sold. This
feeling shows a high degree of national
self-consciousness and is a very gooc
guarantee that we can and will keep
ample control of these concessions But
we cannot do without these concessions.

Whisky Struggled
Through Pipe Line

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Dec. 29.-The
very latest tale reaching the Mexican
capital about the whisky merchants Of
the border is like a chapter from a
thrilling dime novel
1t is asserted that smugglers Of whisky
from Mexico into Texas and Arizona
have built pipe lines across the border
and pump Bourbon, rye and other liquids
from wet" bases on this side TO re-
ceiving stations on the dry" side.
The pipe lines do away with the fuss
and lobor--and also the danger-of get
ting whisky across the line in bottles
and barrels.
Instead Of lodging border guards the
sniuggler now sits at his ease while the
pipe line does the work.
1t is asserted that this story about pipe
lines is true and not fiction.
