cause intense scientific work in France
no longer was possible. He added:

DIR. Carrel pointed out that It was not

of moral reform in the spirit of French

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Russian
Government is redoubling its efforts to
induce Finland to Join in the anti-Bol-
shevik campaign, according to unofficial
information received at the State De-
partment to-day. This information, as
made public, confirms the statements
made by THE SUN that representatives

Government had gone to Helsingfors to
confer with the Firms regarding CO.

The State Departments information
is that in addition to the northwestern
Russian representative, NJ. Liasonov,
the Prime Minister and representatives
of Kolchak and Denikine had arrived at
Helsingfors
1t also was stated that Soviet Rus
sian authorities have sent a wireless
message to the Esthonlan Government
asking why the latter's troops have

edged the independence of Esthonia.
The latest report of the fighting is
that battle is on about Kronstadt and

celved here to-day. 1t Is known that the
Bolshevilxi have a large force, but that
their supplies are inadequate.
Diplomats here were inclined to smile
at the message sent to Esthonia by the
Reds, for It Is said that the position of
the Baltic provinces and Finland has
long been clear and that the Reds rec
ognltion of Esthonia has done more
harm than good. 1t was again asserted
that when absolute and unconditional
recognition of Finland had been granted
by the Omsk Government the Finnish
army would rush across the Karolian
border and Petrograd would fall in short
order.
While the fall of Petrograd might not
necessarily mean the immediate collapse
of the Bolshevlki, 1t is the opinion here
that 1t would be the beginning of the
end and that the final drive together
with the cleaning up process would be
a welcome task for the Firms.
In diplomatic and army circles here
to-day the collapse of Bolshevsm is
looked on as being long way off un-
less the present lack OF coordination is
remedied. The attitude of the Omsk
government was severely criticised in
that Finland and Esthonia had reason

PARIS, Nov War has been declared
against undesirable visitors in Paris
especially from Germany, and the
initial attack is being directed against
one of the most notorious of the political
adventurers whom the war produced. A
howl has appeared in the newspapers
against the presence in the capital OF
Baron FREDERICK Won der Ropp, an al
legged Russian subject of German origin,
active during the war as spy and
propaganda agent of the German For
eign Office.
Won der Ropp has been identified as

press bureau in New York. London and
the Baltic provinces, where he tried TO

OF these provinces to Prussia He was
in close relations with Count Won Bern

newspapers here are demanding that the
scandal OF this spy's presence in the cap
ital and the reasons for it be revealed
Immediately.
The Baron's astounding audacity in
coming to Paris and presenting himself
at the Quai d'Orsay as member of the
Lithuanian National Council and con-
ferring with Gen. Niessel. head of the
lnterallied Baltic Commission, is the
subject of widespread comment
Considerable mystery surrounds the
visit of Won der Ropp, who is no more a
Lithuanian than Col. Avaloff- Bermondt
Is a Russian. II Is difficult to imagine
how he obtained a French wise of his
Russian passports and how he obtained

Strong Pressure Exerted in

of war. is waiting breathlessly on the
verge Of a decision. While continuing
defensive fighting on the border, barring
the way to the Bolshevlki, the Govern
extremely reluctant to enter upon the
hazardous undertaking with the serious
consequences entailed by actual aggres-
slve support of Yudonitch. Powerful
pressure from abroad and from a rela-
lively small but influential element at
home, though, is constantly being en-
erted to align Finland with the Russian
Whites.
1t is regarded as certain, however,
that Finland will not intervene unless
the Entente will guarantee the fulfiment
of her conditions. NJ Vennola, Prime
Minister of Finland, on October 80,
stated the Finnish demand to be recog
milton OF her Independence and certain
territorial concessions by Russia. the
Entente to guarantee the stipulation and
to bear the cost of the fighting.
The pro-interventionists assert ii will
be impossible for Russia to accept the
suggested conditions. Premier Nennola
and Foreign Minister Hoist have out
lined the Finnish Governments attitude.
1T seems absurd" said the Foreign
Minister to-day, ito send an army to
help Yudenitch, when the Russian Cen
eral, Avaloff- Bermondt, refuses aid. The
fact that the Whites themselves are not
unanimous makes ii difficult to decide
finally with whom to form an alliance
Our internal situation is bad. Living

become still higher and exchange lower.
