FACES EUROPE
Problem of BoIshevism Will
Be Given Most Serious
Consideration.
INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA
Gen. Ludendorff Believed to
Be Leader of Red Guards.
German Bolshevism Grows.

Paris, Jan. 3.--The problem of the
bolshevik menace in Europe will be
taken up more seriously than at any
time yet when President Wilson ar
rives in Paris from Rome.
A number OF anti bolshevik Rus
slams are in Paris at present, among
them former Premier Alexander ke-
rensky and Prince Lvoff.
An appeal is being made for allied
intervention in Russia.
The American commissioners are
not receiving any news from PetrO-
grad or Moscow through official chan
nels, but unofficial messages indicate
that the German bolshevik inhuence
is growing.
There is as yet no confirmation of
the report that Gen. Ludendorff is
leading the bolsheyik {red guard
army.
Despite the uncertainty over Lu-
dendorff's whereabouts. there is be-
lief in some quarters that the Ger
mans are trying to coordinate the
bolshevik hordes.
A report has been widely cirC dated
that the allies have decided on def
mite military Intervention in Russia,
but this has been authoritatively de-
MED.
1t is certain, however, that the
question of sending a volunteer army
into Russia to restore order will be
considered by the representatives of
the powers some time in the future.

EXECUTED 12O MORE
MEN THAN COLLEAGUES
LIEUT.. PETERS USED MOST
CRUEL METHODS.
Took Maniacal Joy in Devising
Agonizing Tortures for
Victims,

London, Jan. 3.-The terrorist
methods employed by the bolsheviki
in Russia to combat counter revo-
lutionary activity, unequalled in the
history of the world. were revealed to-
day by the Berne correspondent Of
the Westminster Gazette.
The head of the bolsheviki COM
mission is a 21-year-old lieutenant
named Peters, who is described as
taking maniacal joy in devising
agoniZing tortures for his victims"
Recently Peters achieved the dis
tinction of having 120 more victims
executed than any of his colleagues.
He decided to form special corps,
the men wearing gray cloaks, caps
and top boots.
The slightest breath Of criticism
against the bolsheviki brings the un-
lucky one to Judgment. The bolshe-
visits 80 about in bands of five and
six in motors cars, armed with gre
nades. They break into homes, kill
and confiscate what they desire.
Persons are carried off and sem
fenced to be executed. Sometimes
the victim is purposely wounded and
then the writhing body is thrown in
to a grave, but not covered with
earth

All that sort of thing is only calcu1

all the allies, not France alone. and
the allies know very well what they
ought to know. They have decided to
help Germany when their conditions are

Hastily Build Steel Landing Stage.
AS result of the capsizing of life
boats in the act of rescuing soldiers
and nurses from the stranded trans
port Northern Pacific off Fire Island,
army engineers are today hastily
constructing a steel landing stage to
facilitate the saving of the remain
ing passengers, including many
wounded veterans. The landing stage
will extend fifty yards from the shore
and thus save the lifeboats from bat
Ting with the choppy surf.
Army officials repeated their asser-
ton that the transport Is in no i'm
mediate danger of breaking up. No
, further effort to float the Northern
!. Pacific will be made until every one
on board has been taken off, officials
declared
Twenty nine vessels are standing
by the stranded vessel today ready
to render aid.
Another attempt will be made at
high water today to float the vessel,
according to a wireless message re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
her commander, Capt. Connolly.
Unless the wind increases greatly,
mariners say there is apparently no
immediate danger of the ship going
to pieces. and it is expected once her
human freight is removed everything
aboard portable will be thrown over
board. Thus lightened, it is thought
she may be dragged off into deep
water.
Navy Takes Task in Hand.
Fire Island, Jan. 3.-Teh navy set
itself today to the task of bringing
ashore the soldiers who have been
held prisoners since Wednesday
morning on the stranded transport
Northern Pacific. Submarine Chasers,
power launches and whale boats in
a tumbling surf came alongside the
helpless liner and transported the
soldiers at the rate of 800 or 400 an
hour, to waiting cruisers and de-
stroyers. At noon 900 men had been
shipped and one destroyer had
started for New York with n load
of rescued. The submarine chaser
No. 2s3, assisted in the work.
May Build Pontoon Bridge.
In the meanwhile engineers from
the army and navy had been called
in and the work of constructing
pontoon bridge to the vessel was
considered. The coast guards were
of the opinion that the sea would die
down and that the men on the
Northern Pasific could all be re-
moved in boats and the breeches
