Russian Public
Indifferent to
Trotzky Custer
All Charges Against Deposed
Military Chief Recited in
Lengthy Document Re-
sembling Indictment.
BY Associated Press.

Moscow, Jan. 20.-The announce
ment of Leon Trotzay's dismissal a:
soviet war minister by the centra
executive committee of the commun
ist party was received today by ths
public with complete calm and ap
parent indifference.
The Russian people learned onl,
today through the bolshevik press oi
the deposition of the soviet military
leader. 1t had long been understood
however, that the leaders of the
communist party would take severe
disciplinary measures against the
head Of the red army.
At the committees sessions all the
charges against Trotzky were re
stated in a length document which
resembled an Indictment. This docu
ment asserted that the war ministers
party had encouraged the bourgeoise
countries abroad to believe the
bolshevik regime was in danger OF
falling to pieces. It was also stated
that Trotzky's opposition was taker
as signal by the elements hostile
| to the soviet government at home tc
| unite against the policy of the com
munist party in order to assist ir
| the overthrow of the proletarian die
tatorship.
Held Contrary Views.
The written statement Of the
party's case sets forth all the dis
agreements between the war minister
and the communist party, beginning
with the Brest .Litovsk treaty OF
1918, and declares that the war chief
continuously expressed views against
the party. It concludes by saying
that even in his letter to the central
executive committee, pledging HIM
self to work faithfully in any posi-
tion assigned him by the party.
Trotzky did not "in a single word
acknowledge his mistakes and in fact
insists upon an anti-bolshevik plat
form, limiting himself only to formal
loyalty"
The punishment meted ont by the
committee Is striking Illustration
Of the intiexible discipline which pre-
walls in the communist party. Any
member of less importance than
Trotzky would have been banished
long ago for utterances not strictly
in consonance with ordox bolshevism.
For years the war leader has been a
thorn in the side of the party chiefs
because of his outspoken declarations
in favor OF reforms in the party. The
governments political masters. how
ever. hesitated to remove tho thorn
because OF Trotzky's popularity In
the army and among certain sections
of the Russian masses.
Silenced by Party.
But the sharp attacks which the
irrepressible army head launched In
his recent book against the course of
conduct OF Lenin. Zinovieff and other
powerful political figures during and
after tho revolution gave the con-
trolling leaders of the communist
party their opportunity of silencing
him and stripping him OF his power
as war minister.
The soviet leaders now express the
belief that 1t is likely Trotzky will,

THREE BIG BOUTS
SCHEDULED FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT

Rounding out the boxing care
which is headed by Johnny Runcl
and Pedro Villa, for the Imperia
Valley Athletic Club Friday night
are three well balanced bouts
which should give the fans real
run for their money.
None other than johnny Lyle
who has been making good rec
ord for himself at San Diego and
other coast points, has been picked
to meet Kid Mex, the local boxer,
in the six round semi-final. Lyle
is known to be good, and at the rate
Mex has been going for the past
three or four months, this scrap
should easily vie with the headliner
for the evenings honors.
Young Richards and Tony EscaI-
ante will show their wares in Il
four round special event. Richards
is newcomer in these parts. Tony
is not, and the good looking Mexi-
can boy, who is only II STRIPPING,
made mighty good impression ON
his first appearance in the local
ring two weeks ago.
Babe Corbctt and Battling john
son will open the show with a four
round session. There will be no joke
about this fight from the way these
youngsters tore into each other at
Brawley last Friday night. That
argument resulted in Il draw decis-
ion, and it was rafting good fight.
The boys are sore at each other and
each one wants the decision.
Tickets for the evening S enter
tainmcnt are on sale in the usual
places, and with two topliners like
Bunch and Villa, plus the remainder
of the card, it should prove Il mag
net that will well fill the arena.
