ORDERED TO QUIT.

TROTSKY LEAVES FRANCE. Received April 18, 11.50 a.m. PARIS, April 17. Trotsky has been ordered to quit France on the ground that he has infringed the conditions of his permit and has not observed political neutrality. THREATS OF ASSASSINATION? LONDON, April 16. The Daily Mail’s Paris correspondent says that Trotsky and his wife left Barbizon in a closed car for an unknown destination, probably outside France. Some of the staffs are remaining at the villa to carry on the work of the Fourth Internationale. The French Press, except Socialist papers, attacks M. Chautemps who, when in power, permitted Trotsky to live in France. M. Chautemps says that Trotsky, was told that lie did so at his own risk.

The Daily Telegraph’s Paris correspondent states that it is officially explained that Trotsky and liis wife were authorised to leave for Corsica owing to threats of assassination. They went to Royon, where they received more threats, and were permitted to move again, also to use another name.

M. Leon Trotsky, who was generally believed to be living in Corsica, was unexpectedly found m a famous artist’s villa, near Fontainebleau. Trotsky’s villa at Barbizon was the headquarters of the Fourth Internationale, a superBolslievist movement with world-wide scope by which Trotsky aims to oust the present Russian regime. The'villa was luxuriously furnished and equipped with maps, filing cabinets and dossiers. An enormous correspondence was conducted direct with Paris by motorcycles, dispensing with the local Post offices. It was also believed that Trotsky was in communication with Londoiij Brussels, Madrid, America, and India.
