BolsheViki Power Waning.
There have been occasional asser-
lions In Petrograd dispatches that
the influence and power of the boil
sheviki was waning, but never with
such unanimity as in special dispatches
dated from the Russian capital and
printed here.
Nearly all make the point in some
form that defactions from the sol
diers' and wOrkmens organization is
growing constantly. Among causes
alleged are general lack of authority,
the increase of drunkenness, the re-
Iuctance of the population to worl, and
the scarcity of foodstuffs. The main
desire of the soldiers is said to be for
peace.
Troops Are Mutinous.
The correspondents cite instances
of boIsheviki troops refusing to march,
declining to attack the Ukrainians and
permitting the Cossacks to disam
them without resistance. Fighting, it
is said. is the last thing they are will
ing or intend to do. A hostile spirit
is reported to survive among the Bal
tic sailors and the red guard but the
former are not numerous enough to
conquer the Ukrainians and the red
guard is largely unframed. 1t is re-
ported, therefore. that war against the
Ukraine probably viii not materiallze
on any serious scale.
Bolsheviki leaders, the Petrograd
correspondent of the Morning Post
says, appear to be becoming conscious
of hopeless failure, while the CORE
spondent of the Daily News writes;
There is tremendous and growing
opposition to the bolsheviki among all
classes.
Men who formerly supported them
are turning against them and German
hirelings' is a common term Of de-
nunciation. There is much talk OF
meeting the present reign OF terror
with counter-measures and bono
throwing is freely suggested as the
only method of exerting pressure VI
the bolsheviki. This is not merely la'S
talk, as those who say it are those VINO
already have thrown bombs
