'TROTZKY IS BUSY
RUNNING AFFAIRS
Of WAR IN RUSSIA
Is Often His Own Messenger;
Can't Discuss Politics Till
After Elections.

Moscow. June 26.-Leon Trotzky, the
soviet war minister, is often his own
messenger. While he was carrying i'm
portant dispatches to one of his coll
leagues. the Associated Press CORE
spondent had fleeting interview with
him in kremlin the other day.
Replying to a question as to whether
he would appoint time TO. discuss with
the correspondent the activities of the
working army, he said This is time
of momentous decisions in Russia and
until party politics for the coming year
are determined | canont talk for publ
cation"
Meanwhile he was taking such long
steps as to render it difficult for the
to keep up with him.
Crossing the big square of Kremlin he
was isaluted by the numerous soldiers
who recognized him despite the fact
that he was wearing the regulation uni
form, no different than that of the en-
listed man.
AS Trotzky walked his wiry person
seemed vibrant with energy, showing
no signs of the strain of the past three
years. Reaching the cavalry barracks
he disappeared up the steps, two at a
bound, with the parting words, "Call
me up later when | have more time"

SUSPICION GROWS
OVER NEW SYSTEM
Of SCHOOL STUDY
Catholic Newspapers Concerned
With Plan to Do Away With
Bible Study.

Berlin. June 26.-Catholic newspapers
are watching with growing concern a
movement to introduce new system of
religious instruction in German schools.
Heretofore such instruction has been
based on the old and new testaments.
The new plan, which was evolved by
teachers of Meiningen and recently en-
dorsed by the teachers association of
Thuringia, where protestants are in the
majority would do away with Bible
study. Instead, children during their
first four years in school would be in
structed in German fairytales and
myths, Robinson Crusoe and the history
of the child Jesus. In the last four
years the instruction would have to
do with the worship of God by ancient
peoples, the life an1 teachings of Jesus,
and the worship of God in Germany.
More and more. the Thuringia teach
ers agreed. German myths and poetry
should replace in the schools the old
testament.
by no stretch of the imagination"
comments Germania. the organ of the
Center (Catholic) party. "can this be
called religious instruction. 1t is tho
roughly in accord with well known ten
denotes of radical teachers. Catholics
must follow this movement with close
attention. for it threatens to invade
their own schools"

Since Been Removed,
Claim Former Official.

Bucharest, June 26.-That the car
pet bagging system known to the south
after the civil war has been applied
by the Rumanians in their new pro-
vinces of Bessarabia, Bukovina and
Transylvania, is the burden Of com
plants that the minority population of
these provinces are sending to allied
governments. 1t is charged that these
provinces have been loaded up with dis
honest civilian officials who work in
connection with the armies of occupa-
ton to bulldoZe and terrorize local in
habitants. 1t is even charged that the
weather. landowners are being arrest
ed in the hope that they will either de-
sert their lands and sell, their homes far
under the real value.

Gently minister of the interior. fthe army
of occupation in these provinces should
long since have been removed. After
four years of war soldiers respect the

long been deep. On those members of
the Hungarian nobility who have per-
sisted in remaining on their estates are
quartered a half dozen soldiers or po-
licemen who practically hold them pris-
oners. While they are able to operate
their estates, they are not permitted to
receive visitors or mail except by per-
mission of these soldiers. Many in
stances are cited where the head of the
house has been arrested and so harassed
that he had to flee. leaving his home in
the possession of his wife and daughter,
much after the manner of the Russian
and Polish landholders during the early
stages of bolshevism

There have been numerous reports
that the Transylvanians hope to find

later circumstances permit or else Of
