WASHINGTON IS
MORE HOPEFUL
Religious Movement to
Save "Holy Russia"
Will Help Kerensky
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 12.-High hopes
that Russia's provisional government
may suppress the radicals at Petro-
grad quickly and emerge stronger
than before. were raised at both the
state department and the Russian
embassy by yesterdays press dis
patches reporting Premier Kerensky
safe and returning to the capital at
the head of a strong loyal force.
No official reports came during the
day, but the news from London and
Paris Of wireless messages from
loyal sources confirmed the confident
belief here that Bolsheviki were not
permitting all Of the story to come
through the controlled cables out Of
Petrograd.
1t became known during the day
that word came through official
channels several days ago that the
upheaval at Petrograd had greatly
stimulated a religious movement in
Russia designed by it's leaders to
save Holy Russia" from foes from
without or within. This movement
is said to have resulted already in
the pledging of 100000 soldiers to
support the Kerensky government,
and the reports concerning 1t are be-
lieved to be largely responsible for
the optimistic feeling apparent in
administration circles.
Whole regiments and their COM
manders have enlisted In the new
Holy Russian movement, the reports
say, and the movement 10 growing
rapidly.
