MOSCOW, Dec. 18.-Leon Trotski
has been leading a busy unevent-
full life in and near Alma Alta
formerly Vierny), the capital of
Kazakstan, scarcely aware of and
not at all interested in tthe many
"assassinationS' to which he has
been subjected in the foreign news
papers.
I have obtained from the best
possible sources an account of how
the former bolshevik war lord has
lived since his exile from the Krem-
lin.
I am in a position to state def
nitely that the numerous reports
which have found their way into the
press abroad of Trotski's being shot
and stabbed, of his escapes and
his recaptureS, are entirely imagi-
nary. His existence in the ten
months exile have been peaceful
and totally devoid of melodrama.
His old stomach ailments con-
t1nue to bother Trotski. However.
the enforced vacation from active
political struggles has reacted favor
ably upon his health. He is some
what stouter and in better physical
condition generally than he was
upon arrival to Alma Alta.
I can also state that the rumors
widely circulated even in the soviet
capital, that Trotski spent the sum-
mer in the Caucasus or Crimea are
unfounded. He lived in the suburbs.
near Alma Alta, in small, neat cot
tage which he rented for the entire
summer.
He has just returned to his home
in the city-a small, one-fanily
house on the UItza Krassin. one
OF Alma Atlas principal streets. This
house was turned over for his use
by the G. P. u, the soviet secret
service, and is located directly across
the street from the G.. P. u. head
quarters. Here he lives with his
wife and eldest son, Leon, one serv-
ant and occasionally also female
secretary.
During the summer in the sub
urbS he also had his young grand
son with him, but since then the
child has been sent back to his
mother in Moscow.
While, of course, TrotSki is unde'
the strictest police surveillance, the
process is made as easy and unan-
noying as possible. He can go freely
wherever he pleases in the city and
its environs, Dut since he has no
personal acquaintance there, he
leaves the house only rarely, to go
to the postoff1ce, to make purchases
in the shops, and the like.
He also takes long walks into the
country.

"Based on the figures supplied by
the Canadian department of trade
and commerce it will be noted that
in the course of three years the
volume of this traffic has increased
more than seventy-five per cent"
said Mrs. Willebrandt. 1T is be-
lieved a substantial amount of
liquor enters the United States
across the northern boundary of
which the Canadian customs has
no record"
Admiral Billiard believes that Ii
quor smuggling materially has been
decreased through activities of the
coast guard. He said, however, that
more men and ships would have to
be added if smuggling were to be
wiped out.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Liquor
smuggling remains a major problem
of prohibition enforcement, despite
the combined efforts of the prohi-
bition unit, the customs service, the
coast guard, and other federal
agencies to stamp it out.
This is admitted by James M.
Doran, prohibition commissioner;
Admiral Frederick c. Billiard, COM
mandant of the coast guard; Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assist
ant attorney general in charge of
prohibition enforcement, and other
federal officers.
1.-THE smuggling situation still
presents a serious problem" Com
missioner Doran told the house ap-
preparations committee. "Notwith-
standing the fact that the coast
guard has operated to break up
nearby rum rows, there is still a
large movement from European
ports, from the French island of st.
Pierre, and from some Central
American and Mexican ports into
the United States.
Detroit Is Center
''The largest quantity of liquor
that moves into the United States.
however, enters over the northern
land border, and probably seven
eights of it enters through what we
call the Detroit gateway"
Liquor traffic across the north
ern international boundary is in
increasing, Mrs. Willebrandt be-
HeveS.
"The problem of the liquor snug
ling traffic directly from Canada
into the United States across the
international boundary line contin-
ues to be unsolved,' she said. en-
deed, while the record of the for
eign ship seizures would seem to
indicate that the smuggling traffic
from the seas through the aid of
lowering vessels is diminishing, such
traffic across the international
boundary on the north is increas-
ing. The great bulk of this trade
is carried on through the waters of
the Great Lakes and their. connec-
tons"

Mrs. Willebrandt cited official
Canadian customs figures to show
the amount of liquor coming into
the country from that source, add
ing that the volume is much great

They freed Old Don after a question

physical hope, and this was his means
of saving the boy from death.
He knew they would hang Johnny
if Red died. That was their code. And
the sheriff had come in only few
moments before to tell Old Don that
Red wouldn't live. Red would die un-
mediately. And DR.. Bromey, Lorene's
only surgeon, could not operate, as he
had broken an arm under crashing
pine week ago.
Johnny, the smiling youth from the
big city, would hang. because the
Prigly crew said Old Don was crazy
No man could knock out Big Red with
his fist, they testified. Johnny would
feel the twang of the moose. because
Old Don was crazy and couldn't help.

AS Old Don emptied the frying pan

table, the terrible scene repeated itself
before his eyes.
He saw Big Red. snow covered, eyes
bloodshot, appear in the doorway. Big
Red was drunk, and he had come to
tease Old Don Everybody teased Old
Don-that is, everybody from Prigly's
lumber camp. For Don's cabin was Sit

from the camp and five miles from
Lorene. Returning from town on a
Sunday night. the men would stop at
Old Don'S cabin and laugh at him
through the Shuttered windows. Old
Don was the only one that prayed,
that's why everybody laughed, at him.
They laughed those sturdy men of the
North. laughed at the old pictures he
had hanging about the wall. They
didn't mean it, but it made Old Don
angry, because they thought he was
crazy. But Johnny looked little sur
prised as he caught Old Don once
crying before broken cruciflx. He
didn't understand. but he entered the
cabin after the discovery.
Old Don didn't like 10 be laughed at,
so he asked Big Red to go out. Red

he wanted to listen to Old Don pray.
That was the climax. Old Don pushed
Red toward the door and the brute
struck him. And then Johnny entered
and stood motionless by the door, with
the soft. white snow falling about him.
He didn't say a word. He watched.
until Red made another clubbing swing
at Old Don. Quick as a flash his left
arm shot out and caught the brute
