More Officers

At Moscow, last week, 6,500 cadets received commissions in the Red Army. To celebrate this event the new War Lord Frunse, successor to deposed Leon Trotzky (TIME, May 18 et seq.) issued a special order to the Army and Navy:

"Increasing our army today by new commanders who are ready to give up their lives without hesitation for the great tasks of freeing the laboring masses, we declare to the whole world that Soviet Russia is busily engaged in the stubborn peaceful task of reestablishing the national economic situation."
