REDS ARE PUSHING
PLANS IN THE EAST
Georgia Expected Soon to
Follow Armenia in Accept
ance of BoIshevism.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1920.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Turkey. De-.
cember 27.-Bolshevist plans in the
east are developing with clocklike
regularity. Those close in touch with
the reds here announced last October
when Armenia would be proclaimed
a bolshevist republic; now they are
giving Georgia at most six weeks to
follow the example. The bo1shevfki
have, as matter Of fact, controlled
Georgia since last spring, but have
allowed that country apporent indie
pendence in order to use Batum, a
non-bolsheyist port, to get goods
from the allied countries. The neces-
sity for using the port for this pur-
pose having apparently ceased, it has
been decided to bring Georgia under
the same regimes as the rest Of the
east.
Threaten to Attack Georgia.
Early this month the Axerbaidjan
soviet decided to attack Georgia, but
to the action and the attack was
postponed. December 20 the soviet
representative in Tifis received in
structfons to aid the Azerbaidjan ac-
ton and help to get into power the
Georgia bolsheviki. Meanwhile one
of three armies in the Baku region
was concentrated on the Georgian
frontier and received orders to march
into Georgia and assist the local reds.
1t IL reported that most Of the men
in the Georgian army sympathise with
the bolsheviki. An army corps in
Baum has mutinied and it is ex-
pected that the others will do the
same soon.
The cost Of living in Georgia has in
creased 500 per cent in the last three
worthless. The discomfort is such
that a majority Of the people are said
to favor q change Of regime. The
allied commissioners in Constanti-
nople are planning to send ships to
Batum to bring away allied and
east. The American Near East Relief
sent representative to Tihis to try
to sell load Of important stores,
including clothing and food. before q
soviet government was proclaimed, to
avoid a heavy loss like that occur
ring In the Crtmea and in Armenia.
Gloomy Outlook in East.
Certainly the outlook in the east is
gloomy. The whole country from the
Aegean sea to Persia is controlled BY
the bolsheviki. In the Balkans the
communist movement Is at q standstill
except in Rumania. where the lack of
efficient government. the disorganiza-
ton Of the railroads and the exorbi-
tant cost OF living offers excellent
ground for propaganda by bolshevist
agents. The bomb outrage in the Ru-
manian parliament is believed to have
been only a preliminary to other ana
more serious disturbances.
The bolsheviki are taking full ad.
vantage Of the discomfort prevailing
in Bessarabian administration, and re-.
ported to be ready to assist in q revo.
iutionary outbreak in that province.
Eight red divisions are close to the
Dniester. ready to intervene as soon
as the population Is able to rise. The
number Of communists in Rumanta is
still small, but very active in cleveriy
exploiting the faults of the adminis-
tration.

U. s. RETAINS BONUS.
Will Be Automatically Abolished If
Redistribution Is Made.

I Retention Of the $40 bonus for gov
eminent employees will be provided by
the legislative bill to be reported out
this week. It was understood today.
This will mean that the present
bonus enjoyed by the federal workers
will not be lost to them pending the
passage Of the Lehlbach reclassinca-
ton measure.
Clauges are contained in the Lehl-
bach bill which provide for the sub
stitution Of the rates contained there
in for the present salaries and bonus.
ana thus no provisions will be made
in the legislative bill for this con-
tingency.
II the Lehlbach measure becomes
law IL will automatically abolish the
ala salaries and the bonus. as the
new rates are based on figures in
which the equivalent of the bonus
has been contained.
