Two German Battalion Com
manders and Stats Captured.
Hindenburg's Order To Retake
PasSehendaele in Vain.
EXPECT DESPERATE COUNTER
Loss of Ridge Serious Blow to
Germans in Belgium.
Captured Before They Had
Time To Use Machine Guns.

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Nov. S.-(by Canadian Press Ltd
Hindenburg's orders to his troops to
retake Passchendaele at all costs has
not resulted in any enemy infantry
activity before Passchendaele. Both
yesterday and today have been excep-
tionally quiet except for our artillery,
which has been maintaining har-
RAISING fire on all the routes of ap-
breaches to the centers of activity in
the enemy area. Reports OF an east
ward movement of batteries possibly
indicate that he may be preparing
new gun positions to support an at
tack upon the ridge but in the mean
time the Canadians are Strengthening
their new positions and preparing for
all emergencies.
Two battalion commanders with
their staff were captured in the last
engagement.
with such men I could any where
do anything, is one captured offlcers
comment on the Canadians. Indeed
the prisoners are loud also in amazed
comments on the treatment they are
receiving, The prisoners state that
they have received lectures on the fe-
rQcity of the British troops, being told
that they took no prisoners and were
cruel to Germans who got captured
German Losses Terrific.
Recent captures confirm the re-
ports of heavy enemy losses. Our
troops went over SO rapidly and fol-
lowed the barrage SO closely that nu-
merous cases are reported where the
enemy had no chance to use his ma
chine guns before our infantry was
on top of him. Our counter battery
work and artillery concentrations
have been so effective that the enemy
battery positions have been changed
constantly Two companies OF the
enemy were taken recently without
our firing a shot. Sheltered in covered
shell holes from the intensity of our
machine gun and artillery barrage and
having no facilities for mounting their
machine guns, they were captured by
our rapidly advancing men before
they could get their guns ready for &C
ton.
Heavy losses were sustained by en-
envy reinforcements which were en-
deavoring to split their front line.
There is no question that the loss of
the village is a blow to the enemy,
the officers and men captured. all en-
phasizing the Importance the enemy
to the retention of Pass
chendaele ridge and predicting that
the German higher command would
make a desperate effort to recapture
the position before he will submit to
the winter conditions in the mud-lying
Roulers plain which our dominant
ridge will impose upon him.

London Papers View Both With
Alarm and Hope.

London, Nov. 9.-That the Russian
coup d'etat was engineered and sub
sidized by Germany in order to elimi-
nate Russia as an enemy is the Vir-
tual opinion expressed in the news
papers. A respondent view Of the out
look is taken by some, while others
claim that the triumph of the Maxi
malists is probably passing Phase
and refuse to believe that they repre-
sent Russia or that Russia will agree
to separate peace.
The Times partly blames the Ker-
ensky government for tolerating an
archy and says:
Premier Kerenslty never showed
himself really able to rule the storm
and came with diminished credit out
of the Korniloff episode. For the
moment the allies can look on at this
agency, getting what comfort they can
from the reflection that the voice
struggling up from it assuredly IS not
the authentic voice of Russia
Can't Recognize Government.
The Morning Post under the cap
tion Revolution Made in Germany"
says:
Whether the revolution will sue
coed remains to be seen. Obviously
the allies can never recognize a Rus
sian government whose first proposal
is a separate peace. 1t remains for
the allied nations to reach the heart
or the russian people and the ele-
ments Of Russia which are true to the
cause of the allies. This is a task in
which the United States and Japan
might exercise their power of friend
" cooperation. France and England
also might shape a new Russian poll
cy out of the ruins of the old.
THE situation needs strength,
energy and wisdom. We had looked
Vainly for these elements up to this
time but we seem to see them in the
United States, which is acting with
vigor and intelligence from which
great things for the future are to be
expected"
New Leaders Pro-German.
London, Nov. 9.-Kerenskys fall at
Petrograd means indefinite prolonga-
tion Of the war, according to belief
of the London press today.
1t means also, in the belief of edi-
torial writer's, that henceforth heav-
Ter burden is saddled on the United
States and the allies.
The seemingly inevitable civil war
was held to mean further disorganiza-
ton, permitting withdrawal of more
German troops ON the Russian front
If not worse.
A majority of the London press
made no concealment of its pessimism
regar g Lenine and Trotsky the
two figures now in control at Petro-
grad. Both are regarded as entirely
pro-German in sympathy.
Hope was expressed that their
movement was superficial and con-
fined to Petrograd alone, but the
situation was regarded as gloomy.

PETROGRAD NOT ALL RUSSIA.
But UpheavaI There and ReversaIs in
Italy, Are Severe Shock.

LONDON. Nov. 9.-The situation in
Russia the Daily News urges, should
not be taken too tragically. 1t points
out that Petrograd is not Russia and
advises the outside world to await de-
velopments which it says cannot fail
to be swift and dramatic.
Nevertheless" the News adds
this situation coupled with the
enemy's advance in Italy constitutes a
black outlook. The allies position has
suffered a shock which it would be
futile to ignore and grave issues are
hanging in the balance.
The burden of the war falls more
than ever on the shoulders of this
country, France and the United States
and the duration of the war would
seem to be prolonged indefinitely"
The News concludes, Stern times
are before us but we shall survive the
ordeal if we are faithful to our cause.
Our powers are not exhausted and be-
hind our resources are those of the
United States

capitaI-Leon Trotsky-has likewise
come under previous suspicion as
dominated by the Germans.
Open Way for Germany?
Because of this the fear is felt here
that in pursuance of their fanatcal
scheme of restoring peace to the
whole world-or possibly in pursu-
ance of plans of the German officials
who hold Lenine, Trotsky and others
in their power-the BoIsheviki would
open the way to Petrograd to Ger
man fleet and German reinforcements
to their forces.
Heretofore the Bolsheviki have
shown strength only in the larger
cities like Petrograd and Moscow.
The sentiment elsewhere thruout Rus
STA for the faction has been negligible.
The Petrograd council (soviet) of
workmen and soldiers has always been
overwhelmingly Bolsheviki. But the
aIl-Russian council of workmen and
soldiers, an organization of all the
local councils. has heretofore been
anti-Bolsheviki. Attention was called
here today in connection with the
Bolsheviki claim of endorsement by
this aII-Russian body of their revolt,
that only 260 members out of the full
roster of $50 members We're present.
The number is Significantly it was
stated, since $50 is exactly the
strength of the Bolsheviki forces here
tofore shown in that body. The Len
mites and Trotsky supporters there
fore, laid their plans carefully, having
only tried and true Bolshevil1i MEM
bers in attendance.
Winter Famine Ahead.
Civil war is certain in Russia, but
whether the war would be confined
to Petrograd or would rend the whole
nation could not be predicted.
In the meantime dread winter is
fast coming to close its icy grip over
the nation. With government utterly
disorganized, Petrograd cut off from
the rest of the nation, the whole popu-
lation aligned into two groups and
no organization for handling of food
or of supplies and industry paralyzed.
the country faces a winter of horror.
1t was the belief that the Bolsheviki
revolt would develop some liberal
holding Kerensky's views. but with a
rough handedness which Kerensky
has lacked, who would practically as
sumo a dictatorship in Russia. That
furnished the only optimistic note
here today.
