KORNILOFF WOUNDED.
Counter revolutionary efforts
against .the Bolsheviki appear to have
received setback in the reported de-
feat of General Korniloff in a battle
in south central Russia. Unofficial ad-
vices contain the rumor that General
KorniloH was wounded and that his
capture by the Bolsheviki is antici-
pated. ...
According to the report received
in London, the battle was fought be-
tween Bielgorod, in the province of
kursk, and Sunni, in the province Of
Kharkov, Approximately 800 miles
south of Moscow. The probable cap
ture by the Bolsheviki of Rostov-on-
theDon, the largest town in the Don
Cossack territory, is also reported, the
dispatch adding that indications are
that the Cossaek uprising will fail
and the Cossacks will enter the ex-
treipist- ranks Rostoy lis $50 miles
southeast Of Bielgorod.
In Petrograd the Bolsheviki con
tinue their efforts to gain control OF
the constituent assembly, although
available returns from the recent cleo
tons show that the Botsheviki alone
hardly have majority in the assem-
bly,. Orders for the arrest and trial
of the leaders of the constitutional
democratic party, most OF whom are
supporting the Cossack revolt, have
been issued by the Bolsheviki.
-. Outcome in Doubt.
London, Dec. 1S.--A battle has oc-
CURED near Bielgorod, in southern
Russia, between Bolsheviki forces
and troops under General ko.n;!oH,

hicting. The Petrograd correspondent
of the Daily Mail reports that General
Kornilof was defeated and wounded

pected. A dispatch from the represen-
tative Of the Post, however, denies the
reported Bolsheviki victory, saying
General Korniloff has routed his op-
ponents and will soon join General
kaledines at Novo Tcherkask.
The Post correspondent, who re-
ceived his information from an un-
named source, sends detailed de-
scription of the battle. He says Gem
eral Korniloff had about 5000 men,
making up what is known as the
wild division" of cavaliers OF st.
George, "battalions OF death and
some artillery. When the Bolsheviki
troops were encountered General
Korniloff divided his army and sent
one part forward by train. This was
soon followed up by the Bolsheviki,
who promptly trumpeted great vic
tory. General Korniloff, however, in
the meantime Unanswered his main
force near the Bolsheyiki and attacked
with artillery. Some of his opponents
fed and Others surrendered or Joined
the Red Guard section of the Korfli-
loft army. The remaining Bolshevikf
were surrounded and dealt with very
drastically. ~
