With Iron Discipline.
BY Associated press

~ @ASsSSS1atCu IfCSS.
Moscow, Aug. 12.-Leont Trotzky.
the soviet war minister, in review
OF the world at the closing meeting
of the third internationale yesterday.
said the great war had made clear
the need of q new social status.
The peoples belief III the moral
aims of the fight against the central
powers, ne added, had been shat
tered. by the Versailles peace treaty.
German imperialism had been de-
strosed only to give place to new
imperialism. President Wilson came
tc Europe with his fourteen points
as a Messiah. only to discover that
the British fleet dominated the
world; that the Baltic sea, tho Eng
lish gulf and the Baltic states were
British colonies.
Poland, continued Trotzky. had
been q French dependency, and the
French policy was to exploit both
Russia and Germany. Unles France
succeeds, her position would be no
better than that Of the conquered
countries. the war minis er declared.
The ret result Of the congress has
been the organization Of world
communist party with uniform
tactical p.ogram and IRON proletalian
discipline.
Speaking in Wilma, the capital Of
Lithuania, recently, he announced
soviet Russia had been officially
recognized by the western powers,
and that Krassin and Kameneff,
heads Of the bolshevik commercial
mission to Great Britain, had been
received at London with the cere
monials usually accorded foreign am
bassadors. He asserted >bolshevism
was more powerful than ever anf
would soon spread to other coun-
tries"
I'm year" he continued, "all
Europe will be bolshevilsi."
Warsaw newspapers publish inter-
views with soldiers. who declare the
bolsheviki advancing upon this city
claim they have come to exterminate
the bourgeoisie and distribute the
land among the peasants.
In the Bialystok district the boil
shevid took a number Of hostages,
threatening to shoot them II food
supplies were not delivered to the
army within a specified time. It is
said tho country behind the boil
shevik lines is suffering from famine.
as all grain has been requisitioned
and sent eastward by the bolsheyik
authorities.
Bolshevik prisoners say that the
high command Of the soviet armlcv
fears reverse before Warsaw and
is hastily preparing positions on the
line of Grodno, Slopim, and Sarny, to
which it can withdraw in case Of de-
feat.

PoNzI TWICE A CONVICT.
Now He Asks to Be Given chanes to
Make Good.

Boston, Aug. 12.-Twice convict,
Charles Ponzi, the man who prom
ised so per cent profit In ninety
days, paying that profit in forty five.
said today that was his way OF max
ing a fresh start.
Charles w. Morse, whom he had
known, he said, as a fellow inmate
Of the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga,
had been given a new chance, and
why not he. IT am, not the first one
to have committed sin, and not the
only one, even in the city OF Bos-
ton," was the way that Ponzi put his
case.
Speaking Of Morse, tho New York
banker released by the president on
representations that further inpris-
qpment would cause death, Ponzi
said:
.He is a<banker today and deals
with the United States Eovernment
and associates with the most re-
spectacle men in the United States.
i. do not mean that he is not deserv-
ing the respect Of the public, but 4
merely ask, If he is deserving, why
not IT.
These statements by Ponzi fol.
lowed his admission that as Charles
Ponzi, associated with Zrossi 5& Co,
bankers in Montreal, Canada, which
failed in 1908, he had served twenty
months in the st. Vincent De Paul
penitentiary. Zrossi had fled to
Mexico and when brought back was
arraigned.
Ponzi declared today that zrossi,
with whom many Italians had depos-
tied money, was man with four
children.
II exonerated him, assuming all
the blame" Ponzi said, "and to this
day do not know what has become
Of him."
When freed from the Canadian
prison, he said, he was without
friends. money or credentials, and he
had been asked to escort five Ital-
ians from Canada to the United
States. He said he did not know
that he was breaking any law. He
was arrested, and on plea OF be-
ing guilty Of having brought the men
across was sentenced to two years In
the prison at Atlanta for violation OF
the immigration laws.
