KERENSKY AND KORNILOFF
HOLD PETROGRAD
Continued from First Page.)

CONTINUED from First Page)
the Exchange Telegraph Company says
that travellers arriving In Haparanda
Sweden, from Russia, confirm the report
that Premier Kerensky has gained a
complete victory over the bolsheviki. 1t
is said the premier, Gen. kaledines and
Gen. Korniloff have formed a triumvi-
rate in Petrograd, where all the troops
now side with NJ. Kerensky. 1t is re-
tured.
Gets Word From Kerensky.
James Ramsay Macdonald. laboi
member of parliament, according to the
Daily Chronicle, received on Monday
through a third party, a message from
Premier Kerensky of Russia. saying
that Kerensky had arrived in Petrograd
on Saturday and the authority of the
provisional government had been re-
established. The Chronicle points out a
discrepancy between this message and
a telegram from its Petrograd CORE
spondent, dated Monday, in which the
chaotic condition of affairs there Is
summarized as follows:
The provisional government has in
sufficient forces to maintain Office, while
the bolsheviki have insufficient forces
to exert authority"
Prepared for Siege.
A report that loyal troops had oc-
cupied the Smolny Institute, the head
quarters of the bolsheviki, Is denied in
a dispatch by the Petrograd corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, dated Sun
day noon. On the contrary, he says the
place Is being prepared to withstand a
siege.
Sveral hundred woman soldiers who
had been preparing to defend the win
ter palace. according to a Petrograd
dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, were
arrested by the bolsheviki and handed
over to the various barracks The
correspondent of the Telegraph on
Saturday inspected the winter palace,
which has been in the hands Of the
bolsheviki since Thursday He said
the rooms formerly occupied by the
provisional government were ankle
deep with stationery, newspapers and
correspondence. Every compartment
had been forced open and emptied. Pic
lures were slashed. glass doors and
cabinets smashed. chair seats ripped.
Everything too cumbersome to remove
had been damaged wantonly. Almost
every room in the cabinet of the for
mer emperor had been wrecked,
Fortunately. the correspondent adds.
the government had stored away all
the art treasures. e'cellars also were
so protected as to be safeguarded

Troops Sent Too Late.

TT is true that 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
year would have saved Serbia. saved
the Balkans and completed the block
ade of Germany.
you may say this is an old story. I
grant you that. 1t was simply the first
chapter of a series that has continued
to the presnt hour. Nineteen fifteen
was the year of tn Srbian tragdy;
tragedy. which was repetition of the
Serbian story almost without change.
This is unbelievable. when you think
of the consequences to the allies cause
fields and rich petroleum wells passed
to the enemy and Germany was able
to escape us. Through the harvest of
1917 the siege of the central powers
was raised once more and the horrible
war was once more prolonged That
would not have happened had there ex-
listed some central authority charged
with meditating upon the problem of
the war for the entire theater of the
war"
May Save the Alliance.
After reviewing the Italian campaign
the premier said:
LAS far as-1 am concerned. 1 had ar
rived at the conclusion that if nothing
was changed l could no longer accept
the responsibility for the direction of
a war condemned to disaster from lack
Of unity. Italy's misfortune may still
save the alliance, because without it
do not think that even today we would
have created a veritable superior
council
National and professional traditions,
questions of prestige and susceptible
ties all conspired to render our best de-
cisions vain. No one in particular bore
the blame. The guilt was in the nat
ural difficulty of obtaining. of SO many
nations of SO many Independent organ
izations, that they should amalgamate
all their Individual particularities to
act together as II they were but one
people"

Cites Own Frankness.

Mr.. Lloyd George later said: st have
spoken today with a frankness that is
perhaps brutal, at the risk of being
lily understood here and elsewhere,
and not perhaps without risk of giving
temporary encouragement to the en-
envy, because. now that we have es-
tablished this council, it Is for US to
see that the unity 1t represents be a
fact and not an appearance.
THE war has been prolonged by par
ticularism. 1t will be shortened by
solidarity. II the effort to organize
our united action becomes reality ]

war. The weight of men and material
and of moral factors in every sense of
the word is on our side.

Fight Is Prolonged.

The correspondent then continues:
-Four military cadet schools have
been the scenes of conflict The young
officers were called upon to surrender
but refused, on the ground that they
were acting under orders Some firing
occurred. and. in the case of the Vladi-
mir school. the fight was prolonged, the
revolutionary forces using field guns
with somewhat disastrous results to the
buildings.
when the school finally was taken
by the Red Guard some OF the cadets
were killed and their bodies thrown
into the street. A commissary of the
military revolutionary committee in
charge of the besiegers was almost
lynched in trying to save the lives OF
the youths. He was rescued only
through the opportune arrival of mu-
nicipal committee"
700 Casualties in Moscow.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph Company sends
the following:

which there were 700 casualties, the

ment. including bolsheviki.
The Petrograd Railway Union sent
an ultimatum to the workmen's and
country committee, demanding that
they effect Cancellation by organizing
all the democratic power; otherwise the
union would call a general strike The
bolsheviki agreed to this. but the other
democratic groups were unwilling to
negotiate with the bolsheviki until they
surrendered. Negotiations. however.
were resumed, and the railway union
deferred the strike for twelve hours.
The bolsheviki have abandoned their
offensive attitude, and now consider
themselves in the position of organ
izers OF defense revolutions against the
armies of Kerensky. Korniloff nd Kale-
dimes. The Petrograd garrison has
elected special committees to guaran-

More Men to Walk Out in New York
NEW YORK. November 1a.-In addi-
ton to several thousand men employed
. In shipyards and war supply bases at
Newark. III, who struck yesterday. a
walkout of other workers is threat
ened. According to union estimates,
approximately 5000 men already are
idle and between 1000 and 5000 more
fected. The grievance Is directed
against the Lackawanna Bridge Com
, pany. which employs no union men;
the only object, according to union Of
dcials. is to force that company to rec
ognfze the union. Government medfat-
ors thus far have failed to settle the
controversy. Some union officials as
sert that IL an early adjustment of the
trouble is not reached the strike will
spread to the jurisdiction Of the New
York building trades council and tie
up all government construction work.
This would affect 10000 persons.

George. the British prime minister. who
has just returned from the Italian war
zone, and Signor Barenini, Italian minis
ter of education.
If after forty months of war after
all the lessons the war has taught US.
the allies were not capable Of that sa-
cred international union. then in spite OF
their sacrifices they would not be worthy
of victory"
Lloyd Georges Speech.
Premier Lloyd George. alluding to a
centralized direction of the allied efforts.
said:
unfortunately we did not have time
to consult the United States or RUSSIA
before creating this council. The ltallan

Law to repair it. This made it indis-
pensable to commence right now with
the powers whose forces may be en-
ployed on the italian front
But in order to assure the complete

our cause it will be necessary that all
our great allies be represented in the
deliberations / am persuaded that we
shall attain the consent of these two
great countries, and their cooperation
in the work of the interallied council.
Great Fault Cited.
Mr.. Lloyd George developed at con-
siderable length the reasons for not
taking the step earlier. He referred to
"timidities and susceptibiifties when
it came to treating questions on any
front not commanded by generals TAX
ing part in the interallied consulta-
TONS The allies had committed great
fault he said, in not adequately assist
ing Serbia in holding her line, with the
result that the central empires broke
the blockade and procured men and
supplies from the east, without which
Germany doubtless would have been
unable to maintain the forces of her
armies.
why was this unbelievable fault
committed?" asked the premier. The
reply is simple. 1t was becaus no one
in particular was charged with guard
ing the Balkan gate. The unique front
had not become a reality. France and
England were absorbed by other prob
lens in other regions. Italy thought
only of the Carso. Russia was mount
ing guard over a frontier of a thou
sand miles. and, even without that, she
could not have passed through to have
helped Serbia, because Rumania was
