He has passed the standard examinations and is now qualified as an officer. The examinations were given him by of ficers of the old Russian army
 How Trotzky, who is one of the busiest men in Russia, found time to do this has been a surprise to his more easy going associates in the Soviet government.

He has developed the vocal abilities of a field marshal. and when called upon to address thousands of troops in the open air. has strident voice is heard even by the rear ranks.
 Leon Trotzky has developed great executive ability and he never con- cerns himself with petty details. He exacts from his subordinates the most meticulous precision. He keeps ap- pointments promptly, thereby differ ing from other Soviet officials, and he confines his business dealings to rea- sonable day time or early evening hours. Sometime he sets appointments fer, say, 4;27 r. m, to last three minutes, and insists that this does not mean 4;25, or 4;3o.
