BRITISH WATCH
RED ADVANCES
in NEAR EAST
Collapse Of Denikine's S Army
In Southern Russia And
Gains OF BOlsheyiki In
Trans-Caspia Worry Allies.

London, Jan. 16.-Attention of the
British people is fixed on the Near
East where recent bolshevik successes
have carried the red Russian armies
almost up to the threshold Of India,
Persia. Mesopotamia and Asiatic
Turkey. Cabinet members and chiefs
of the British army and navy are to-
day in Paris, whittier they were hastily
summoned yesterday and are confer
ring with Premier Lloyd-George on
military and naval matters in connec-
tion, it is. believed with conditions in
southwestern Asia.
Menace Felt Real.
Apprehension was aroused by the
issuance of a semi official statement
yesterday pointing out the situation
that has arisen through the collapse of
General Denikine's army in southern
Russia and bolshevik penetration of
TRANSIT Caspia. Not only was it admit
ted the menace from Russian boil
shevik invasion of the Near East was
very real, but it was pointed out that
internal conditions in Persia, Turkey
and Afghanistan were threatening.
In Mespotamia, too, the British are
forced to contend with difficulties aris-
ing from racial dissension. 1t was said
that soviet advance that captures the
Crimea would make the Black sea vir-
tualy Russian bolshevik lake, and 1t
was further indicated that Great Bri-
tain could hope f0r little help from
the new republics OF Georgia, Daghes-
tan and Azerhaijan, which are directly
in the path of the soviet advance.
May Attack Poland.
While there is possibility the boil
sheviki may launch an overwhelming
attack against Poland, the statement
issued yesterday showed the greatest
preoccupation of officialdom was over
the debacle of Denikine's armies and
the rapid advance of the soviet forces
toward the Persian and Afghan from
tiers.
The situation which now confronts
Great Britain and more or less japan
and China is not of sudden growth.
however For the past two months or
more the bolsheviki have had an al
most unbroken series of successes
which have swept them forward on all
fronts where their forces are believed
to be formidable

occasional advices have indicated the

RUSSIA TO EXAMINE
DEPORTED RADICALS
WHEN BUFORD DOCKS

Helsingfors, Jan. 15.--Radical agita-
tors deported from America will be
carefully examined before they are per
mitted to enter Russia according to a
statement made to the correspondent
Of the Associated Press by NJ. Kllshke,
secretary Of the soviet delegation at
Dorpat, when Interviewed on the sub
ject a short time ago. M. KIishke and
his colleague, M. Benhendorff. were
asked what Russia would do with the
radicals being sent to Europe on board
the "soviet ar" Buford. They profess
ed to be uniformed on the subject but
said:
Soviet Russia will not allow itself 10
be used as dumping grouad for agita-
tors from America"
Finland, in accepting custody of the
party, is said TO be planning to use the
prominent members for the purpose of
securing the exchange of Finnish po-
litical prisoners held in soviet Russia.
As 1t is regarded uncertain whether
the bolsheviki will consent to receive
all members Of the party, considerable
speculation has been caused by the
question whether those denied admis-
sion will be turned loose between the
Finnish and societ lines to shift the
best they can. 1t is understood the
Buford will not leave Hango until the
party has crossed the Finnish border

Colonel Winfield Jones, whose daily Washington special correspondence is now printed in this newspaper, is one of the best known of the corps of noted spapermen at the national capital He has been for many years a member of the Congressional Press Gallery, where he represented for long periods some of the greatest try and abroad. At one time he was manager of the Washington bureau of the International News Service
 He is one of the best known pub licity experts in the country. having managed the publicity of the Euro pean tour of the American commits sion on rural credits, whose report resulted in the Farm Bank Act. In 1916 and 1918 he was publicity di- rector for the National Republican congressional committee. For years he was secretary of the National De- fense League, an organization of prominent representatives and senat- ors which worked successfully for a larger and more efficient army, navy and national guard. and which se- cured the free rifle bill from congress. a measure which buildt up the Ma tional Rifle Association
 There is no man in Washington who has had more successful and larger experience as journalist; none who is better informed on na- tional, international, congressional. and government affairs; and none who has a wider friendship and ac- 4uaintance with prominent public journalist for more than 25 years. He is a veteran of the war with Spain and the World war, and a member of many clubs and fraternal organiza- tions.

Jones, which appears daily The daily letter will keep our readers informed on many national, international and congressional i'm portant subjects - information which is not generally known, and which can be obtained only through such a cor respondent as this newspaper now possesses at the seat of American government

 So that for the hundred dollars spent for the calendars, not more than 150 or 200 persons, at the most. ever look at the advertising.
 For that same $1OO the same mer- chant could have carried an adver- tisement in the Chronicle for a year, could have had 1t printed in 375, ,000 papers, each paper of which will aver age being read by four persons, mak- ing total of 100000 chances of hay ing it read as against the 200 at most who read the calendars. But some may say that the newspaper advertis ing would not be read. That is in error, however. but assuming that it is partly correct. At least one out of every fifty who read newspapers are sure to read every advertisement At this low percentage, more than 24,000 would have read the newspa per display in that time.
 That is one set of facts. Another is that the big department stores of the states figure out on a scientific basis their advertising. They know exactly, in dollars and cents, the amount of money they earn through advertising. It is the same with the other big es- tablishments. Yet, how many of them give out calendars. Not one in five hundred.
 Tie calendar manufacturers make a practice of playing up the small towns. The small. thriving town is their mecca
 Some may say that the calendar is not an advertisement. but a compli ment. But if so, why put any printed matter on it. There the argument fails
 Not one ollar of the money that reaches the calendar advertising houses ever get back to the people buying the calendars.
 And, it is generally admitted that a newspaper in a small town or in any town, helps that town. The more ad vertising it has the more it can help the town. Therefore, not only is the business man who puts his money into newspaper advertising getting results. but he is also indirectly help ing himself by helping his town.
