sence of official cables from Russia,
Amba ssador Bakhmetieff who arrived
here on a speaking tour today declined

early newspaper accounts.
I'VE can only hope and trust that
Russia will pass through this hour Of
peril safely" he said.
II was the belief of the party with
the ambassador that Russia is now
passing through the supreme test OF

counters = Waiting for
Kerensky's Report.

London, Nov. S.-The Bolsheviki
leaders in control of all communica-
ton with Petrograd today formally
announced to the world that they had
"deposed the Kerensky government"
In its place the institution of a new
regime with a policy of immediate
peace and immediate distribution of
all lands to the peasants was declared.
No mention was made in dispatches
received here of fighting. but 1t was
feared that once again the streets of
Petrograd have been dyed in blood
from struggling factions.
BUT ONE SIDE GIVEN.
The Bolsheviki leaders did not ex-
plain how the alleged overthrow of the
Kerensky government had been ac-
complished, except to assert that the
garrison and the proletariat" had
forced it.
All the news from Russia today was
one sided-the only version being that
of the revolving Bolsheviki, due to their
control Of all means of communication.
AWAIT kERENSkY'S VERSION.
London had been prepared for an
armed outbreak following Kerensky's
announcement, received yesterday. that
"active measures Of suppression" were
to be adopted against his pacifist enc
mics. Officials here were awaiting
eagerly the Kerensky version of to-
days happenings in Petrograd.
Russian officials emphasized that the
revolt is entirely local in character
affecting Petrograd alone. In the cap
| ital pacifism has reached It's greatest
strength, due to activity of the Bolshe-
Wiki soviet of workmen and soldiers.

pected momentarily to learn of the pre-
liminary battle of the Livenza, in
which Cadorna's rear guards would at
tempt to administer a temporary
check to the enemy before withdraw
ing to the now fully prepared Piave

Swiss dispatches reported that Ca
dorna intended merely to delay the
enemy along the Livenza and would
not bring his full strength into the bat
tie until the Piave positions were
reached.
NEW POSITIONS PREPARED.
For nearly two weeks the Italians
have been preparing their positions
along this waterway. Presumably the
reinforcements. in men and guns sent
by British and French army staffs are
held along this line.
Every dispatch received from Rome
today mentioned the Italian withdraw
al from the Tagliamento as voluntary
sArried out with precision and mini
knum of loss. Certainly there was
none of the precipitancy in the latest
Italian retirement that characterized
the rout from the Isonzo positions.

with no thought of the dead they had
passed that these same artillerymen
hours later swung hustling into the
valley where their camp was located
and with cowboy yelps welcomed
themselves back home for a rest from
front duty.
Fifty little French school children,
stiff and starched up in their best biz.
and tucker, stood in martial array to
welcome les Americaines back. Their
tiny hands went joyfully to the salute
and one little girl hung a wreath of
flowers on the grim muzzle of the gun
that fired the first shell over the Ger
man trenches. Then she distributed
posies to the gun crew of that weapon.
OF the 'aix men OF that crew two are
from South Bend. Indiana and there is

SEEKING INFORMATION.
With what alarm the reported revolu-

close advisers of President Wilson
telephoned the United Press for every
scrap of information on the situation.
That a show down between the Ker-

Maximalists was due has been admit

The embassy still feels that Kerensky
has the whole hearted support of the
army outside of Petrograd.
The embassy stated that any an

crisis would come from the state de-
