ARREST TWO FOR
 ABERDEEN POLICE

George Previs, age 20 years, of S31 Hallett street. and Joseph Plavlick, the same age, of tS8 Orchard street, were taken to Meriden by the police of that city this morning, on a charge of highway robbery.
 The two were arrested last night fby Detective John Gerrity, for the Meriden authorities, in connection with the holdup of the proprietor of la grocery store in Meriden, whereby the two are alleged to have robbed the man of $10O.
 Both Previs and Plavlick were re-
 leased from the reformatory for boys
 at Meriden about two months ago.
 Previs has a long criminal record in
 spite of his youth, and has spent the
 most of his life up to the present time in confinement It Is stated that he has spent eight years of the last ten in the reformatory for boys at { Meriden.
 < The police state that the two loafed 1 around Meriden for several days af- CT their release from the institution, and spotted the store which they in- \ tended to rob. Then they came to
 this city, stayed here for some time | after which they went to Meriden, ac- ] icomplIshed the robbery and came i: Immediately back to Bridgeport. z The police refused to state wheth {, CT these men had anything to do with I the store holdups which have taken i place in this city during the pas!
 three weeks. The method used by | Previs and Plavlick in holding up the
 Meriden man is identical with the method employed by holdup men who have been operating in Bridgeport,

WATCH BOLSHEvIK
 SPREAD CLOSELY

Paris, Monday, Dec. So-BoIshev- ism has been given serious consid- eration during the last two days by the American delegates to the peace conference, especially since the re- ceipt of despatches indicating pro- gress of the German BoIshevik eIe- ment toward gaining control in Ber- lin. The progress of the Russian Bolsheviki in Poland and Esthonia is also being carefully watched.
 Although the United States has not officially recognized the Polish gov ernment, it has recognized the inde- pendence of Poland, and the Ameri- can delegates in Paris have conferred with the Polish representatives here.
 While the American delegation will make no statement concerning the protection to be given Poland and Es- thonia, they are apparently inclined to prevent the Russian Bolsheviki from dominating those countries. Un- til the conference actually convenes it will be difficult for the Allies to
 take any preventive measures, al- l though the sufferings of the Poles and the Esthonians appeal strongly 1 to the Americans.
