BOLSHEVIKI TO

Announce That Successes Make Terrorist Methods
 Unnecessary

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Sentence of death will be imposed on enemies of the Soviet Russion government here after only when approved by the all Russion extraordinary commission, according to a wireless disnatch from Moscow today. The bolshevik an nouncement asserts that return to methods of terrorism will be made necessary only by renewal of at tempts on the part of the entente to hinder the workers and peasants in establishing a system of socialist economies.
 The extraordinary commission, the dispatch adds, declares the defeat oi General Yudenitch and Denikine and Admiral Kolchak, together with the latter's imprisonment and the cap ture of Rostov, Novocherkassk and Krasnoyarsk have created new con ditions in the struggle against a counter revolution in Russia.
 Bolshevik forces have captured Nikopol Con the Dneiper river, "a miles from it's mouth), and Melitopo tin the Crimea), according to a So viet wireless dispatch from Moscow The statement says the bolshevih troops have reached a line of vii lages 50 miles to the west and 3C miles to the southwest of Nikopol.

 LIST OF AWARDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Contro versy over awards of war service dec. orations by the war department was widened today when Secretary Baker made public a letter to Representa- tive Gallivan, Democrat, Massachu setts, challenging statements made a few days ago by the latter in the house regarding former chiefs of staff while Gallivan amplified his previous charges in a written statement
 MT. Bakers letter dealt with the military records and war service of General Tasker H. Bliss and Major General Hugh l.. Scott and John Bid dle, predecessors of Gen. Peyton C. March in the office of the chief of staff. The secretary denied emphat- ically Galliyan's statement that these officers had been removed for inef- ficiency and said he made the letter public as the only means the off cers assailed had of answering such charges.
 Representative Gallivan in his statement declared only one enlisted man, apparently by error" had been awarded distinguished service medal while 554 officers and B civi

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Jan. 15.- Propagandists of bolshevism have spread their doctrine of radicalism from Sonora to the Isthmus of Tehuan- tepec within year, the senate sub committee Investigating the Mexican situation was told today by an Amer ican travelling salesman. The witness was heard in executive session in or der that he might be guarded to that extent against possible reprisal by MeXicans. He begged that his name be not used because he expects to re- turn to Mexico.
 CarranZa, when forced to choose be- tween two small armies in the south, one led by the federal commander, and the other known as the bolshevik force, declared in favor of the latter, he assured the committee Striking laboring men in other districts, he said, were frank in their declaration of adherence to the radical cause and almost everywhere he went he found undisguised evidence of success of the extremist agltators.

Admiral Coontz Recommends 638 Ships for American
 Defense

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-No in- crease in the personnel of the navy over that authorized for the present fiscal year will be asked by the navy department for 1921, Rear Admiral CoontZ, chief of naval operations, to- day told the house naval affairs com mittee. The department. however, will ask authority to order 27,00O ma val reservists to active duty for train ing during the coming fiscal year The authorized strength for 1920 was 143,- 900. including apprentices.
 The naval reservists will be used entirely at sea on battleships Of the second line and the training will be confined as much as possible to sum mer months, Admiral CoontZ said. Al though full complements of all the ships the navy desires to retain in active commission would require 107,- 900 men at sea, he said. the shipi would be manned with 1S,000 until the present shortage of men has been overcome, even though they would not be up to full fighting and cruising strength.
 Asked by members of the commit tee if the naval building policy of the United States was not predicated on the policy of other naval powers, par ticularly Great Britain and Japan. Ad- miral Coontz responded that it was. He also recommended force of 63S ships, as compared with the pre-war strength of 231 vessels.
 With the completion of the great dreadnaughts Tennessee and Califor- mia, now launched and in the final stages of fitting out, the United States will have F dreadnaughts which will form the first battle line, Admiral CoontZ said. He recommended the sale of breaking up of all except 13 of the pre-dreadnaught battleships and the sale of a large number of other naval vessels of little military value.

Officer Tells of Radicals At tempts to Form Soviets
 Among Men

NEW YORK, Jan 15.-Agents of the reds" have attempted to SOW the seeds of Bolshevism in the United States navy, according to the Bay Ridge naval station. Capt. Stone who addressed a gathering of promin- ent women who are interested in the establishment of a permanent club for enlisted men. declared that Amer ican sailors have been asked by the 'reds" agents to form Soviets and have been fully instructed as to the method of procedure. He said that red" literature had been scattered throughout the Bay Ridge station and elsewhIre and that many of the men had been found reading it..
 We attempted to check the move ment in two ways" the captain con tinued, first, we confiscated all the literature we could find and then we appealed to the intelligence of the men But the fact cannot be lodged that agents of the reds have at tempted to spread bolshevism among the enlisted men of the navy. Com manders of other stations have told me of similar experiences"
