THE OREGbN. SUNDAY.' JOURNAL, : PORTLAND, .SUNDAY j MORNING, NOVEMBER 18, 1917. MCM 1DS GRAB OPPORTUNITY Trotsky and Lenine High in Councils of. Revolutionary Circles for Many Years and in Many Lands. Abdication of Czar Nicholas Found Trotsky Editing a Radical Paper in NeW York and Lenine in Switzerland. - The adventure In government perlenced In Russia by the Maximal' .Ist-Bolshevlkl faction thrust into the limelight of the world; for the moment. Leon Trotzky and Nikolai Lenine, Tead era of this radical faction. The March revolution that removed the Romanoff dynasty from ' power gave Trotsky and Lenine the op portunity they sought. Trotzky, de clared an undesirable in a half dozen countries, rushed back to Russia from JIw York, where he was acting as editor of Novy Mir, a paper circu lated among the Russian Socialists. Lenine had been in hiding since the Maximalist uprising in Petrograd In July, during .which time he appears to have plotted the new outbreak. 2 The creed of these revolutionists -Includes a' program of extreme So cialism, the division of all property and wealth among the people, gov ernment by popular convention, etc. .The Bolshevlkl 'faction which goes further than the Maximalists, con tends for internationalism, the broth erhood of man, no arnfles and no navies. And the paradoxical fact is that the radical leaders who sponsor such a program are declared to be in Jeague with German agents if not paid German agents. Lenine was so accused by General Bruslloff, who aw the sinister hand of the Wll- helmstrasse touching the affairs of the revolutionists as it had reached Into the high places of the Romanoff Teglme. And Trotzky is similarly charged. Exiled to Siberia Trotsky's real name Is said to be Leber Braunsteln and he was born In a town In the Kherson region near tht Black Sea. Before the end of the nineteenth century his extreme views and persuasive oratory found Jilm prominent among the revolu tionists. The collapse of the 1905 revolution sent him to Siberia, whence he was released after a few Tears, being compelled to live else where than in Russia. At the beglnlng of the war he wa In Berlin, but the radical teachings of his writings there were too much for the Berlin government, which had no taste for Socialist programs except in foreign parts. .He was compelled to go to Switzerland, but here, too, he found the atmosphere chilly. After time he landed in Paris and edited a newspaper there, but the French gov ernment refused to allow his, doc trines to be spread after Russian troops arrived In Franc, and he moved on to Spain. , Spain became too hot for him last winter. Everywhere he went he was not only a center and leader of radi calism, but one of the most vigorous Journalistic propagandists, and Spain was no more hospitable to his ex- ' treme social theories than other coun tries. According to a New Yorker who knew him well, he was practl cally shanghaied In Spain, and awoke after being taken captive to find himself on board a steamer whose destination he did not know till he was several days out. Arrives In Hew fork The steamer was bound for Cuba, but Cuba was too small a country tot Trotzky's energies. He sailed at once from Havana for New York, , and reached there on January 14 last. Trotzky was welcomed not only by the most radical faction of Russian ' Socialists, but by the German So cialists, too, Leaders of radicalism h .. . - , - -n LtAUcKUl 1 1VIMAI MALI 53 It? i I , ;.,..!- - 1 I - .

The sign posts have been installed along the southern barracks,- and be fore the end of another week the en tire camp will be plainly marked, so that visitors with a cantonment map will be able to find their way from one regiment to another. Probably the best known Oregonlan In Camp Lewis is Private Victor Vernon, bakery company No. 8S5. Vernon - was sent to American Lake from Bend, Or., where he has the dis tinction of being the second child born in that city. Vernon Is known all over the northwest as "Hardeeny the Great," and many an enthusiastic young bunch of shopping clerks of Portland. Seattle and Taooma have eagerly nailed him Into a packing case they built for that purpose only to find that Private Vernon, as Hardeen. could work himself free.. Vernon has played up and down the coast In vau deville . for years, engaging In press agent stunts of the dare devil variety until he is known far and wide as the man who cannot be handcuffed. - As a soldier Vernon is all that can be desired, his officers declare. He la In great demand as an entertainer at the camp "doings. He aids in turning out the Z0.O00 loaves of bread the sol diers dispose of daily. Orsa-oaJaaa In Twelfth Battalion Out in the Twelfth training bat talion -where the majority of the Ore gon men have been assigned there is a spirit of contentment. With few. ex ceptions the entire fourth quota of Oregonlans went to this battalion A few men from Clackamas county are In 'the Eleventh battalion while Baker county has nine men in the First. Vic tor Anton McEUfresh of Deschutes county Is also In the First battalion having been sent from Multnomah county to which he was transferred. Other Deschutes county men In the First are Forest Hale Miller and Ern est E. Cooper. Albert Pope of Malheur county la the only member of his contingent not with the First battalion. He was as signed when, he arrived . late to the Seventeenth and la probablly one of the few Oregonlans In this outfit. This week found the pay master In camp for the first time In six weeks. Many of the Oregonlans who have been here for that length of time were given their first pay. This will he the last time the pay master will pay out the' full wages of any soldier. The new allotment law is , now effective. Beginning November lPno soldier will be permitted to draw more than one half of his pay. Vay Allotments ta, Order Men who have, entered the army to escape the payment of alimony, and those who belltaed that they would be permitted to draw their full pay, have discovered their error. Every soldier will be compelled to either make; an allotment to dependant rlag uvea, or in cases wnere alimony is rae quired to the divorced wife, or where; J there are -no legat claims or depn ents to himself. ; In .order to prot'et the man, against ; himself. where y the, allotment Is made, under the d-aj. ncy clay a, blanks must -fee ftVfed out' and, the claim of depen'ewcyverlfled.

When word went through the .cantonment tint he was with thtf Ninety-first dl vfMlon, the score or more of profeeV sl pnal baseball players at onco started h anting him up. , Leon Trotzky, ' Russian Maximalist leader, -who hurried back to Rus sia from New York after the March revolution, to prepare ! for of the New York east side and in Harlem contributed furniture for the house where he ' established himself in 'the Bronx, and it caused consid erable feeling among them when he eventually left town in such- haste that none of the contributors were notified, and the furniture was left to take care of itself in the empty house for a considerable , time. Trotzky sailed from New York for a Scandinavian port on March 27, but, was. taken off. the ship at Hall- fax by the British authorities, who knew his record. There were lotjtl and vigorous protests from American radicals at this'actlon, and eventual ly the first Russian, provisional, gov ernment, apparently unaware- at that time of the strength -and tendencies of the Bolshevlkl, was Induced to ask for his release. The British thereupon permitted him to go f on his way. Xrenine Tses an Alias Lenine, like most of the prominent Russian agitators, had to use an alias In his revolutionary activity. Hlaf real name is Vladimir II y itch Uulyanoff ; he was born of a noble famljy at Simbirsk, on the Volga, - about! 1870' An , elder brother was executed for complicity In a plot to kill Emperor Alexander IL shortly beforo that ruler was actually . assassinated lni- 1881. Lenine became prominent in the early nineties as a leader of the t radical Sncial riemoerats. . He was elected to the second dum- after the revolution of 1&P5, but was compelled to go into exile, a thing he had often done before, when, the re action triumphed. At the beginning of the present war he was in Cra cow and was interned as an enemy alien, but was shortly released - and allowed to proceed to Zimmerwald, in Switzerland, where a colony of Rus sian revolutionists was already es tablished. . After the revolution the provision al government of Russia entered into an agreement with Germany by which the Russian revolutionists in Swit zerland were allowed to return through Germany in return for the release of German civilians in Rus sia. .Lenine headed -the party which returned by this route, and his social program, which he has been advocat ing ever since, . was drawn up .en. route. Soldier Really Has ! Case of "Big Head Camp Funston, Kas., Nov. IT- "One army campaign hat, size 10," was the requisition of the com mander of Company 11 of the ! One Hundred and Sixty-fourth Depot Brig ade here, sent to the brigade- supply officer. -The supply officer, thinking it was a mistake, Bent the order back to the company commander. The lat ter stated that' he really wanted ai hat that size. . - : ; Investigation developed ' that th4 hat is desired by one John Helait, a giant Norwegian from North. Dakota. : He was homesteading in that state when called for the draft. He has always had bis hats made to order, and much trouble has resulted from this. Helsit is all fitted out except the hat, and he is anxiously; waiting for his head gear. That is on the way. . Camp Lewis, American Lake, Waah., Nov. 19. Oregonlans, wliether en listed or selected, now serving at Camp Lewis, will be forced to undea- go another physical examination before being permitted to accompany the troops to France. A score of prominent physicians, headed by Lieutenant Ray W. Matson of Portland, all experts in tnhrpulnala. have been taken into &the medical reserve corps and assigned to duty at the base hospital here for the express purpose of making a sci entific search for tubercular germs in the mien of the Ninety-first division. Every man In camp will be carefully, tested and examined ior any indica tions of tuberculosis. As this is the first cantonment where such exam inations are to be held, the results here will be watched for with consid erable interest all over the country. Among the Portland physicians who will assist in the examining of these men are Drs. N. W. Jones, R. H. Wellington, C. O. Dodlne and Frank Wood. Other Oregon doctors are O. L. Boydon of Pendleton, B. R. Wallace. Albany; George A. Cathney, Klamath Falls. Colored Troops Plan Minstrels . The colored troops - have started with the organization of a glee club and a minstrel show As there are a number of colored soldiers In the out i fit, who have done their trick, both in vaudeville and with minstrel outfits. iue coming snow promises i ue m of the best the camp has yet seen. Owing to the fact that three cases of spinal meningitis have been found in camp, at three different places and times, more than 1700 men are now under quarantine to prevent any spread of - the disease. Each of the cases, developed in camp has come from the outside. Every soldier in Camp Lewis will have a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day. This was assured early this week when orders went out to the unit sup ply officers to at once notify the camp quartermaster of the number of pounds - of . turkey each outfit would desire. The soldiers will not only have turkey, but they will have all of the trimmings which go with the usual American Thanksgiving day dinner. The day will be celebrated with a football game between the naval re serves at the university, of Washing Some Monday Specials at Aronson's Thanksgiving draws near!
