William G. Shepherd Tells
Story of Russian Reuolt

Following is the first series of four
stories by William G.. Shepherd, late
ly United Press Staff Correspondent at
Petrograd.
Three of the series were written at
Stockholm on the eve of the successful
Bolsheviki uprising. The fourth and con-
cluding story is summary by Shep-
herd, written in New York and combin-
ing what he saw in Petrograd with the
developments of later days.
Shepherd S stories from Stockholm
are striking prophetic of the uprising
that later swept Kerensky from his
power.
The first article of the series fore
casts the Bolsheviki revolt. The second
to be printed tomorrow tells something
of Premier Kerensky's long and bitter
quarrel with the Bolsheviki, who sub
triumphed over him.
