Report 500 Killed in PetrOgrad
and 700 in Moscow.
Growing Wave of Anarchy and
Robbery in Russ Capital.
DAY OF WILD EXGESSES
Massacre Cadets Attempting To
Recover Phone Office.
TrOtsky and Lenine Regime
Fail To Gain Authority.
BY ED l.. KEEN.

London, Nov. 13.-Eight hundred
killed and wounded at Petrograd ana
700 at Moscow is what the BolsneNihl
experiment in government has so tar
cost Russia, according to reliable re-
ports reaching here today.
These 1 800 casualties will be in
creased in the fighting which IS now
in progress around Petrograd. or Is
about to occur So far reports today
indicated both sides drawn up for an
engagement at the capital but with
neither ready to strike in force. Scat
tering enga gements were reported.
The delay is going against the
Bolsheviki. In Petrograd latest dis,
patches detailed a growing wave OF
anarchy, robbery, murders and rapine.
The Trotsky-Lenine combination lacks
sufficient men to exercise authority.
Kerensky Near Capital.
On the other hand the provisional
government lacks sufficient men to
enforce authority. Both sides are
waiting Premier Kerensky was said
TO be at the head of two complete
army corps which have taken up posi-
tions close to the capital. On Sunday
it was certain the Bolsheviki were
entrenched in the outskirts of the city
behind barbed wire entanglements.
One Stockholm report today quoted
American Minister Morris as having
received news of a sanguinary battle
between the provisional and BolSne-
Wiki forces near Gatchina. The report
was not confirmed.
Petrograd cables today asserted
that the Garrison at Reval-all-Bol-
sheviki-was approaching the rear Of
the Kerensky troops and that rein
forcements were thirty miles from
the provisional forces.
Sunday Day of BIoodshed.
The Bolsheviki power is melting in
Petrograd. The 500 casualties men
toned as having been incurred in the
revolt were said in one dispatch to
have resulted from wild excuses on
Sunday alone.
Sundays bloodshed appears to have
been due to an abortive attempt by
the military cadets of the city to re-
gain control Bolsheviki supporters
overwhelmed them.
There was fresh outbreak of
anarchy that night.
The railway employees were report
ed to have issued a formal ultimatum
to the Petrograd soviet of workmen
and soldiers and the committee on
Auuring Safety of the Revolution, re-
fusing all support unless a comprom-
Use government was devised with an
alden ocratc personnel. The rail-
way employees are powerful, not alone
in numerical strength but from the
fact that Petrograd is entirely depen-
dent for food on prompt transporta-
ton facilities. The ultimatum, it was
understood here, threatened a strike

Serbia Lost Because No One

Washington. Nov. 13.-The allies
watchword as proclaimed to the world
today thru utterances of the spokes-
men of the three leading nations in
unity, coordination, submergence or
national aspirations for international
ones.
AS President Wilson was delivering
his notable plea for complete solidar-
ity of effort against Germany to the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention at Buffalo, Premier Lloyd
George of England and Premier Pain
leve of France were preaching from
the same text.
The fact that these three statesmen
had coincidentally spoken the same
thought was regarded here as fore
casting complete unity henceforth.
Lloyd George Frankest.,
Lloyd Georges speech was the
frankest of the three as Washington
read it. The prime minister declared
in various parts of his speech, deliv-
cred at luncheon in Paris in his
honor:
The war has been prolonged by
particularism. 1t will be shortened
by solidarity. If the effort to organ
ize our united action becomes a
reality, I have no doubt as to the
issue of the war. Why was Serbia
not assisted early in the war? Why
was this unbelievable fault commit
ted? Because no one in particular
was charged with guarding the Bal
kan gate. The united front had not
become a reality.
1T is true we sent troops to Sa-
loniki to succor Serbia, but, as always,
they were sent too late. Half the men
who fell in the vain effort to pierce
the western front in September that
same year would have saved Serbia,
saved the Balkans, and completed the
blockade of Germany"
