BOLSHEv|k PERIL
THREATENS WORLD
RED DANGER NO LONGER CON.
FINED TO RUSSIA, DIPLo-
MATS SAY.
England Already Controlled BY "Coun-
Gil of Action" 1t Is Asserted
France Seeks Aid of America In Fin
ish Fight With Red Russia.

Paris.-It is impossible longer to
hide the stark fact that the Eastern
Hemisphere is on the verge of gen.
eral Bolshevism Even the most Op-
timistic of political observers admit
the grave fear that France, in order to
offset the spell is doing her utmost to
throw Europe into another general
war, hoping that by submitting the
masses to military discipline she will
prevent this radicalism controlling
the hemisphere. With this in view
Marshal JOffre is en- route to Bucha-
rest in order to establish contact be-
tween the French and ROumanian Gov
ernments should the Intervention Of
ROumania be considered as made nee
essary by the development of events
in the Crimea.
A tremendous pressure is being
brought to bear upon the White House
to induce President Wilson to issue a
announcement to establish on an un-
questionable basis the intention Of
America to throw in her might with
France in a finish fight against Red
Russia.
French statesmen thoroughly are
aware that the Red peril no longer is
confined to Russia, but daily is be-
coming more powerful in England
and progressing rapidly in France. 1t
is difficult to disguise the truth that
England already is controlled by
Council of action" composed of the
governing bodies of the trade unions.
which is identical with the original
soldiers and workers committees,
which later logically develop into the
Soviets in Russia.
For the past week every move of
Premier Lloyd George in Russian mat
tiers had been dictated, practically
word for word, by the council, which,
today is the absolute dictator of Great
Britain.

greater difficulty in Selling the reins,
due to differences among the workers.
The recognition of General Wrangel
by France, diplomats stated, actually
was calculated to prepare the way for
break with England, since the Quai
d'Orsay really fears that England is
becoming another center Of BOlshev-
ism and realizes that it would be bet
ter to break the Entente and at the
same time cement its relationship with
the United States before it is too late.
The Polish situation, it is expected
here, will prove to be the lever by
which Washington can be induced to
commit itself to some action by which
it will be linked indissolubly with
France In such an event Great Brit
ain, Italy and Soviet Russia would be
aligned against the United States,
France and General Wrangel.
While in doubt whether the United
States is willing to plunge with her
into a military and diplomatic adven-
ture of incalculable consequences,
France remains on the fence concern
ing her relations with England, whose
help she undoubtedly will need in her
dealings with conquered Germany
should the United States decline to be
drawn into the net Of European diplO.

Salvation Army Rescue
Home in Louisiana

Faced with the problem of
carlug for an apparently increasing
number of unmarried mothers, the
State Conveptlon of Salvation
Army Parish Advisory Boards IN
Shreveport Friday determined
upon budget for Salvation Army
activities of the ensuing year
including an appropriation Of
S2S, 900 90 for the establishment
of Rescue and Maternity Home
in this state.
For many years past Louisiana's
unfortunate girls have been cared
for by the salvation Army in it's
rescue homes in San Antonio and
aud El Pas0, Texas, but it was the
sentiment Of the delegates that, in
view Of the present need, the
Salvation Army should have such
a home III this state. Delegates pres
ent from thirty parishes of West
ern Louisiana adopted budget
OF *62, 700 OO to carry on Salvation
Army work for the year, INCLUDING
items for co operative relief, main
tenance Of homes aud institutions
for unfortunate men and women
and neglected or dependent chll
dren.
Although organized only during
the past three mon, hs, the Advisory
Boards have already had large
number of cases handled by the
Salvation Army which could not
be cared for locally through lack
OF facilities. Plans were made for
extending the scope of ssrvice
&C ivitles, whereby every member

the delegates, however, indicate
most ~ the state budget for work
