War Body Summoned To Con-
slider Military Action Against
BoIsheviki Hordes.
INDIA is THREATENED

Protect British Possession Against
Soviet Attack-SpecuIation
Is Rife.

Before peace with Germany is a
week old, the British public has been
brought up sharply against the posi-
bility of another war. Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, secretary for var; Wal
ter Hume Long, first lord of the admir-
atty; Baron Beatty, commander of the
grand fleet, and Field Marshal Sir
Henry H. Wilson, chief of the imperial
stay have left London, having hurried
ly summoned to Paris for a consulta-
ton with Premier Lloyd George and
other British officials there on impor-
tant military and naval matters,
This summons is inevitably connect
cd in the public mind with the semi
Official statement calling attention to
the threatening situation in the Middle
East as a result of B%olshevik military
successes, which have given the So
viets virtual mastery of the whole
of European Russia, for although they
have not entered Odessa, it is believ-
ed it cannot be long before they are
in full possession of the cost regions
In that vicinity.
By their victories the Bolsheviki
have obtained command of enormous
supplies Of food, raw materials, coal
and rolling stock and other means of
transport Of which they formerly were
In need.
Speculation is active in the Euro.
pean capitals as to what will be the
next o of the Bolsheviki. 1t is re.
garded as certain that, flushed with
success, they will not be content with
their present %conquests, but will seek
to extend Bolshevism either eastward
or westward. Expert military opin.
ion inclines to the belief that their
next move will be an attack on Poland
and the Baltic states, and Warsaw dis.
patches to the London papers already
indicate that the Poles are fully an
ticipating such a move.
The semi-oficial statement seems to
indicate that the British government
is more ap%prehensive of I move east
ward, threatening India.
All these possibilities will be dis
cussed by the important conference
assembling at Paris.

ton Commission In Case Of Man
Held for Deportation.

New York.-Counsel for the extrem.
lists held at Ellis island awaiting de.
portation proceedings won a victory
over immigration Commissioner Uhl
when Federal Judge Knox announced
that he would grant a writ of habeas
corpus to Gregory Weinstein, chief
of staff" of Ludwig C. A. x. Martens,
soviet Ambassador" if the commits
sioner did not admit Weinstein to bail.
Mr.. Uhl declared that he would
make a test case of Weinstein's ap-
%plication for a writ, similar to appli-
cations of other radicals, contending
that the federal court had no jurisdic-
ton over Ellis island, which came
solely under the offices of the Bureau
of immigration of the Department of
Labor.
Weinstein refused to answer ques-
lions at his preliminary hearing and
the commissioner claimed that he had
a right to hold him until he replied.
Weinstein's counsel contended that
he had a right to representation by
counsel and that he was entitled to
bail under the Constitution.
