ROAD TO INDIA IS
/ NOW OPEN TO REDS
British Military Expert Urges
Immediate Policy to Check
! BoIshevik Advances.

LONDON. Jan. 2.-The road to In
oia 10 open. and the Russian Boil
sheviki now threaten TO establish COM
munioation with the entire East.
General Maurice, British military ex-
pert. declared today in an article In
the Daily News
Official anxiety over the military
situation in Russia was heightened
by an officoal wireless dispatch from
Moscow in which the Russian soviet
government claimed its armies had
entered Bokhara-the gateway to
AfEhanistan.
An Immediate policy should be
established by THE British government
TO prevent further extension OF the
reds sphere OF influence in countries
now under British control or proteo-
tion. General Maurice asserted.
Bolshevik emissaries have started a
concentrated propaganda in the Brit
ish sphere of influence to the north
and west OF India. according to ad-
vices here.
With sporadic revolts already re-
porteds from the hill country OF
north india and hghting reported be-
tween Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen
and British forces, British observers
believed the Bolshevik teachings al
ready have begun to bear fruit.
Dispatches today amplified the
Moscow wireless advices of yesterday
which announced great Bolshevik
victory for the red armies attacking
General Denikine's anti-Bolshevik
troops in south Russia
Beside capture OF the important
towns OF Ekaterinoslav and Noyo-
moskovak. the reds claimed to have
taken several other towns. Denikin's
routed armies continue their. retreat
toward the sea of Azov, the reds
claimed, and II was admitted in Brit
ish military circles that Denikin ap-
parently is doomed to follow the fate
of Yudenitch and Admiral Kolchak in
an effort to establish an antl-Bol-
shevik government for Russia.

URGES HIGH Rent TO.
ENDLACK Of HOMES.
U. s. Housing Bureau Finds Mil
lion Families Homeless at
Beginning of Year.

The New Year finds 100000 fami-
lies, or approximately 4,oco.000 people
in the United States. short OF homes.
This appalling shortage OF homes Is
particularly apparent In the densely
populated Eastern section or the coun-
try, but Il prevails TO some extent In
practically every State In the Union,
according TO fgures en- file todayNwith
the United States Housing Corpora
tion.
An Increase In rentals Is one Of the
solutions OF the housing shortage
offered by officials OF the United
States Housing Corporation. To JUS
tlfy this they point TO the fact that rents
have gone up only SO per cent since
1914 in various cities surveyed by the
corporation, while other costs OF liv'
ing have advanced over so per cent
during the same period.
No Preat In Building.
AT the present cost OF building ma.
terials, labor, etc. IL does not pay
operating builders to erect houses Tor
rent at the present rental prices in
various cities throughout the country
said one Of the officials OF the Bous-
ing Corporation today In discussing
the shortage or houses.
''He cannot expect to compete with
landlords who built houses before the
war, because the cost OF everything
entering into the construction OF a
house today Is so much higher than
IL was In pre-war times, and the rent
he should receive in return on his in
vestment would be too high for the
average Individual" he added.
"Rents have not gone up at the
same ratio as other living costs, and
until they do there does not seem
much hope OF operating builders en-.
tering into extensive operations.
Need More Labor Production.
1t was pointed out that what was
most needed was to get cheaper mate
rials, cheaper labor; "that is, to get
labor to produce more per hour Than
II does now"
The acute shortage of houses Ia
vividly shown in the Housing Cor
poration's records which show that
in thousands of instances two families
are now occupying apartments that
were occupied by but one family be-
fore the war
Another instarcs is the fact that
people in Ne'v York are buying up the

LABOR PARTY STILL
 !. HOLDING ALOOF IN PLANS FOR FUSION
"F0rty-Eight" Convention Listens to Day of Oratory With No Action Until
 Just Before Close
By Associated P-ess

Chicago, July 12-Amalga- nation of the labor party and committee of AS in a new party movement was threaten ed with failure tonight when the labor group adopted an ultimatum giving until 10 a. m. Tuesday for the forty-eighters to show a disposition to com promise.
 The ultimatum was proposed by Max S. Hayes. national chairman of the labor party.
 The convention decided to proceed tomorrow to adopt a platform and nominate candidates if the amalgama- ton fails.
 The ultimatum carried after an hours debate in which the 4S's lead CTS were criticized as ''plutocratic philanthropists trying to use the labor party as a cats paw"
 The labor delegates proposed that if compromise can be reached the two parties hold joint session Tuesday light to adopt platform and nom- nate presidential and vice presidentia candidates
 Delegates were skeptical that the get-together movement would succeed but efforts of the more radical to force an immediate break were discouraged by the more conservative.
 While the argument was at its height. Dudley Field Malone, former democratic leader and collector of the port of New York arrived at the con vention as representative of the com mitee of AS.
 Malone, who is also member of the labor party, attempted to placate the delegates, grown restive over the prospect that the convention might last until Thursday or longer. He declared there were no insurmountable difficult ties in the way of amalgamation.
 The convention adjourned to 9:30 to- morrow morning after adopting the ultimatum to the committee of 4S.

The comrades" said MT, Heth. were advised to dynamite banks and armories in order to obtain funds arms and ammunition with which to destroy the government
 At the conclusion of the states state- mont. attorneys for the defense ob- tafned permission to defer making au opaninG statement until later.
