Washington, Jan. s.-The Soviet
Ark. Buford. with its cargo Of 249
radical aliens, is about to enter the
Kiel canal, according to official dis
patches received here today. While
still refusing to disclose the destina-
ton of the ships. officials said "a

1T was believed that the Buford
would go to Riga, port in Lvonia,
to discharge its radicals for transpor-
tation across the country into Soviet

So far as has been made known,
negotiations for the transportation of

been completed and the government
will await the outcome of the Bu-

INTEREST CENTERS !
/ AROUND CONFERENCE
OF RAILROAD MEN

/ London, Jan. S.-Interest in the re-
sumption of the railroad mems con-
ference here today centers around
whether the men will declare another
strike >or proceed with a ballot of the
100000 members of the various
unions affected by the governments
offer in settlement of wage demands.
/, The declaration Of j. H. Thomas,
general secretary of the National
Union of railwaymen, last evening
made it plain a vast majority of the
local unions were prepared to reject
the governments proposals. It is un-
certain, however, whether vote of
individual members would give a
similar result and it is believed that
whatever happens as result of to-
days meeting it will not necessarily
mean the total and final rejection of
the governments terms.

In addition there comes a claim
from the Bolsheviki Of the capture
further east of the town of Krasno-
vidsk, on>the Caspian sea. and while
this is not confirmed. it is generally
accepted as true. 4
New Trouble Arises
The capture Of this important port
of Krasnovodsk, it is pointed out. cre-
ates the grave possibility that the
reds may overrun northern Persia
and occupy Teheran, which probably
would mean the establishment of
Bolshevik rule in Persia. The taking
of Krasnovodsk permits the reds not
only to control a large part of the
important Krasnovodsk-M Merv rail-
road. but gives them free access to
to prevent them from gaining control
Of the Caspian from the more or. less
ineffective volunteer fleet. Once Id
possession of this area there remains
only small British force and the
poorly organized Persian forces be-
tween the reds and occupation OF
Teheran and northern Persia
through which exist the possibility OF
their obtaining control Of the whole
country.
Baku, with its important oil sup-
plies on the western coast OF Caspian,
seems likely also to fall into Bolshe-
vik hands and its occupation would
provide base for further operations
against the rear Of Denikine's hard
pressed right wing.
