PARIS, March est Is practically
certain now that the Allies will take
firm steps to stop the further spread
westward Of Bolshevism. A compre-
hensive plan for creating a unified
anti Bolshevik front and applying
there the same coordination of policy
that won tho war on the western front
under the supreme direction OF the
man who did it, Marshal Foch, may be
already in operation.
Dispatches from Geneva report that
two Rumanian army corps have
crossed the frontier OF western Galicia
and acting in concert with them the
Csecho-Slovaks are taking measures
against the Hungarian Reds. Reports
Of revolution in eastern Galicia are de-
MED from Stryj and Stanislau.
Have Definite Plan.
The DEFINITE plan OF the Allies. drawn
with the approval OF Marshal Foch, is
reported to have two main features:
First, the establishment Of a uni
fed front consisting mainly OF Polish
and Rumanian troops. backed by
CZecho-Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs and Es-
thonians, with Gen. Mangin, one Of
the finest fighting Generals Of France,
as commander in chief under Mar
ehal Foch's direction.
Second. the supply Of that army
by the United States. Great Britain,
France and perhaps Italy, which like
wise will furnish officers of instruc-
ton to advise the various component
parts of the force and possibly also
will provide some technical units
This plan has the potable advantage
that IL ID Believed II viii render 1t I'M
necessary for the Big Four to send
large contingents of troops TO fight the
Bolshevtki. So far as present indica-
tions 60. the plan does not contemplate
a great offensive against the Bolsheviki
or anything on the scale Of an in
vasion Of Russia, but Is simply to es-
tablish firmly a united defensive front
upon some natural lioe at a distance
far enough to secure the safety OF the
Western Powers and likewise Of the new
born States, which thereby will be
enabled to get on their rect
Would Bar PropaG ga ndists.
This report Is designed to be not only
a defence against any armed force. but
also to prevent more propaganda agents
from entering Poland. Rumania and
other places under its shelter. The Al
lies then can clean out these pests with
out encountering tho present difficulty
that a new one sneaks In for every one
that is arrested.
II is not impossible that at the be-
ginning Of this operation some parts OF
the forces Of the Allies may be IN
yolyed, taking the offensive and push =
ing the BolsheviM beyond the line Sc
lected, but once this has been accom-
plIshed, the Allies will resume the old
style OF deadlocked trench warfare.
The Proposed Line.
The line suggested as a strong mill
tary position where the new front may
be esta blished runs from the mouth OF
the Vistula River at Dan2ig, thence
southwark to east OF Lemberg. thereby
saving that city TO the Poles. then fol-
| lowing the course OF the Dniester River
Thus a large part OF the line would
be based upon two formidable rivers
while its tanks would be protected on
the north by the Baltic Sea and on the
south by the Black Sea.
Supplies from the Allies would come
by the Baltic and Black seas and the
river Danube to Resensburg and thence
by canal and the rivers. The supply
ships that unloads7 material for the
| anti Bolshevik army could brng bacS
wood, oil and other products of Ru-
mania.
