EBx Assoclated Prssn.l

London, Dec. I5.-Eress dispatches
from Petrograd throw little light ON
the military situation in southern
Russia. The official statements is
sued In Petrograd are confusing and
there are various reports regarding
General Kaledines and Kornilom,
whose present whereabouts and for
tunes are not known definitely. THE
fog OF war has settled down over OIL
the Russias", says the Petrograd
correspondent Of The Post. ''al-
though very little actual warfara
has developed.
The people Of Petrograd are said
to be more interested in the attitude
Of the Bolsheviki toward the consti-
tuent assembly than in the Russo
German negotiations or civil war in
the south. The BoishevilIi are still
represented as being determined TO
prevent the constituent assembly
from taking on any complexion ex-
cept a reflection OF their own views.
but there apparently is o sharp dis
agreement among the leaders as 20
the methods, and angry discussions
are reported to have occurred.
Force Only Law.
All advices agree that force Is the
only law in Russia today and the
strongest force for the moment Is
welded by the BolsheviId, who un-
der the guidance OF Lenine and
Trotzlky are said to have established
a despotic regime against which
many OF the Bolshevih are murmur-
ing.
According to The Posts cores
pondent, virtually every newspaper
in Russia has been suppressed ex-
cept those favorable TO or controlled
by the Bolsheviki. The banks con-
tinue TO be closed. The railway
mems union hitherto more or less
neutral, is now being brought nm
