 LONDON, Jan. 15.-Before peace
 with Germany is a week old, the
 British public has been brought up
 sharply against the possibility of
 another war.
 Winston Spencer Churchill, sec
 retary for war; Walter Hume Long,
 first lord of the admiralty; Baron
 Beatty, commander of the grand
 fleet, and Field Marshal Sir Henry
 H. Wilson, chief of the imperial
 staff, left London tonight, having
 been hurriedly summoned to Paris
 for a consultation with Premier
 Lloyd George and other British of
 ficials there on important military
 and naval matters.
 This summons is inevitably connect ed in the public mind with the semi official statement published today call ing attention to the threatening situa- tion in the middle east as a result of bolshevik military successes, which have given the soviet virtual mastery of the whole of European Russia, for, although it is not yet confirmed that they have entered Odessa, 1t is believed it cannot be long before they are in full possession of the coast regions in that vicinity.
 Capture Enormous Food Supplies
 By their victories the boIsheViki have obtained command of enormous sup plies of food, raw materials. coal and rolling stock and other means of trans port of which they formerly were il need
 Speculation is active in the European capitals as to what will be the neN. move of the boIshevizi. It is regarded as certain that. flushed with success they will not be content with their present conquests, but will seek to eN- tend bolshevism either eastward or Expert military opinion in clines to the belief that their next move Win be an attack on Poland and the Baltic states, and Warsaw dispatches to the London papers already indicate that the Poles are fully anticipating such a move.
 Have Formidable Forces
 The soviets now undoubtedly com nand formidable forces, but not suffi- cient to warrant an attempt to advance both east and west. Against the lil1eli- hood of an attack on Poland which It is said, would be popular with the red is the fact that the bolshevik Hanks would be exposed on the north to an attack by the Let's and on the south to an attack by the Rumanians.
 Within the next three months, says a semi official statement dealing with near eastern affairs, Great Britain may be faced with a serious bo1shevist sit nation in the near east, which would mean military commitments, accord ng to expert opinion based on official advices from the theaters of war.
 Little Hope of Stopping Progress
 The bolShevist occupation of Trans capia may be regarded as virtually complete, which makes the position in he Caucasus most difficult from an viewpoint. There is little nope of stopping the bolshevik from the Caucasus and if they succeed they will be able to join Mus apha Kennel Pasha (head of the Turk sh Nationalists) and other Turks for Hesoptamian aggression.
 Likewise, red occupation of Trans ,aspia gives the bolsheviki a base for operations against Persia and extenS ng to India, with the cooperation of Georgia and Azerbaijan tre nti-bolshevist, but they are not 'trong enough to resist the invasion which threatens them from the north, where General Denl1ineS s right wing is eing pressed back, and from across the Sasjian, where the bolsheviki seem to ,e we'll established. There is a large 'olshevist element in Bal1u and a red anding there would probably result n the recruitment of these bolshevil5i 
 The semi official statement issued in london today seems to indicate that he British government is more app ,rehensive of move eastward, threat ming India.
