THE SOVIET ARMY.
REDUCTION OF STRENGTH. By Telegraph.—Fr<-ss Ass?—vop’rigb? Moscow, Jan. 1. Trotsky informed the Soviet Congress that the Red Army had been demobilised from 5,300,000 last year to 1,370,000. Forty-three per cent, of the officers are workers of the peasant type, who had no military education. They are the best revolutionary material and without them the Red Army would be impossible. “Everyone in Russia wants peace and no one desires expansion, but should Russia be attacked we will prove in 1922 that it is easier <for Russia to expand than for an army to encroach on our territory.”
