RUSSIAN
FACTIONS
FIGHTING
Omitted Press Leased Wire,

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Russia' s
civil war has apparently begun.
Dispatches today-all greatly
delayed-reported the first actual
clash between the bolsheviki and
the Cossack rebels around Tama-
novka, about Is miles from Biel-
gorod.
The Cossacks were part of a
force commanded by Gen. Korni-
loft, we'll furnished with arms,
machine guns and ammunition.
The size of the bolsheviki army
was not specified No details were
received as to the result of the
fighting.
Dispatches from Petrograd dat
ed Monday night and not re-
ceived here until today, reported
uneasiness at the capital lest
there might be riotous scenes
Tuesday.
The military revolutionary
committee was exporting all sol
diers to join demonstration
against the cadet and other mod
crate parties, as well as against
Korniloff and Kaledines.
1t was reported from Petrograd
today that the terms of the Ger
man armistice proposal were that
the Russians evacuate Petrograd
until peace came" 1t was not
stated whether the Germans
would occupy the capital under
such a scheme.
Other points on which the Ger
mans insisted were disarmament
of the Baltic fleet and the cession
of Ukraina to Austria, including
north shores of the Black sea.
One dispatch from Swedish
sources today declared General
Korniloff's forces had been de-
feated in their first clash with
the holsheviki near Bielgorod, ac-
cording to officials Of the Rus
sian railway union.
Kaledines was stated to be
rushing reinforcements to Korni-
loft. The battle, according to this
information, started last Friday
evening and was in progress all
day Sunday.

have been seen in months have
been aggressively seeking to spy
out British positions, batteries,
munition dumps and supply sta

part of the same effort to obtain
information as to strength of
front positions. developed all
along the line.
Repulse of local attack"
north of Lavacquerie yesterday
afternoon was reported by Field
Marshal Haig today.
He also detailed successful
raids, in which the British cap
tured prisoners and a machine
gun in the neighborhood of Pom
trust and northwest of st. Quen-
tin.
A perceptible lessening of Teu-
tonic pressure on the Italian front
was reported today. 1t served to
confirm belief here in London
that considerable forces of Aus
ro-Hungarian troops had been
switched from that theater to the
west. Great numbers of the Aus
trian emperor's troops are report
ed already there, having been
transferred from the Russian
lines.
The artillery duel along both
French and British fronts today
was attaining a maximum of vio-
lence. The Germans are assum-
ing the initiative in this combat.
Berlin's official statements
frankly admit strong plan of re-
enforcement of all west front po-
sitions.
