|KERENSKY APPEARS
TOBE man OF HOUR
Unofficial Reports From Petro-

To the Capital

WASHINGTON, November l5-(As
ISOLATED Press)--Without direct official
advices from Petrograd either to the
department of state or the Russian EN-:
bassy government officials and mem
bers of the diplomatic corps of the
Allied Nations were more hopeful last
night because Of the press dispatches
from London which reported Kerensky
rs rapidly regaining control of affair
in Russia. At the same time they did
not seek to disguise their anxiety and
were inclined to await official advices
before becoming over optimistic. L.:
During the day yesterday reports
came to the Associated Press from Lon
don that Kerensky had fought his way
back to his position as the strong man
of Russia. These reports did not say
that the radicals had been completely
overthrown but indicated that they
were tottering and the advantage
were all with the KerepslSy faction.
Other dispatches said that a tele
gram received by way of Finland tC
the Russian bureau in London said that
with the exception of small part OF
PetroRrad the city was in control OF
the followers of Kerensky.
Stockholm dispatches also told of nd
vices TO newspapers Of that city to the
effect that Kerensky had reentered Pc
trograd and was in the ascendency.

opposite sex.
While no statement has vet beer

As was formerly reported, the Gov

Maui, Wilhelmina and Matsonia, which
were recently taken over by the gov

changes may have to be made in the
plans of the Shipping Board. 1t is the
belief of some, however, that with the
Governor out Of running, other vessels
will be placed on her scheduled run.
The Governor and the President have
a carrying tonnage Of about 5000 tons
against the $4,000 tons Of the three

cho villa and his newly organized
forces federal soldiers streanied across
the border from Mexico yesterday af,
ternoon and last night, crossing at and
near Cordova where they surrendered
themselves and their guns TO the Uni

border patrol duty there.
Refugees, after their surrender told
of the defeat which they had received
at the hands Of villa and his men, his
force, they said, numbering more than
"a thousand men and Communicating the
federal forces at Ojinaga. In the fight,
which was fierce and bloody; there
was no artillery used but the rifle fre
was heavy and the number of killed
and wounded is reported as large. II
is hardly expected that villa viii come
TO the border but il is evident that
he has come back into the reckoning
and Is once more menace to the es.

Since the United States recognizes
the Carranza government and is on

not recognize the belligerency Of villa

which resulted in many positions being
abandoned under false orders.
Prior to the great Teutou offensive
pro. Germans in Italy circulated sensa.

stories Of the Italian troops being rebel

out similar stories of the people at home
rebelling because of unnec essary hard,
