Francis s message makes no mention
of loss of life and said that Petrograd
had again become quiet.
The only other information the state
department had today from Russia was
contained in a telegram which stated
that all American Red Cross workers in
Russia are well.
Attitude Not Changed.
The department said that nothing has
so far developed upon which this gov
ernment can base any alteration in its
present policy toward Russia However,
until new reasonable government Is
established in Russia, the United States
will take no action, it was said.
1t was said the belsheviki- Maximal
ist groups, who gained control of Pet
rograd, are reported unOfficially to have
formed cabinet headed by Lenine and
Trotsky.
Kerensky Disappears.
The exact whereabouts of Kerensky,
deposed premier, was still a mystery to
officials here.
The fact that Ambassador Frapcis
was at last permitted to get his mes
sages through over the wires controlled
by the Maximalists and bolsheviki NAV
mean that they plan to soon seek Off
cial recognition from the United States.
Such recognition will depend upon
the extent of the support granted the
new government by the Russian people,
it was said.
Moscow Not In Revolt
The ambassador IS messages did not
confirm the report that Moscow was
held by the revolutienists, although the
American eonsul's wire to Francis from
Moscow ahay come through later from.

The Russian embassy, prepared for
further nsurpation of power by the rad

Drives Through Storm

London, Nov. 10.-In stormy wealth
er, at dawn this morning, Field Mar
shal Haig again set his great attacking
war machine in motion for a drive
north and northwest of Passchendaele.
"Good progress" in the new -
tack was reported by the British com
nander in chiefs report.
The drive today is the second this
weeh which the British have directed
at the last remaining hold by the enc
my in the Passchendaele. The direct
object of both of these thrusts is Wes-
troosebeke, lying at the extremity of
the high ground and commanding the
dow Glands north to Roulers.
The first report from General Haig
did not specify the extent of the front
over which his attack was made. The
previous drive this week was acrossW
comparatively restricted area and
swept the Canadians into Passchen-
daele
The Germans failed to make a single
counter attack to this blow, despite the
fact that captured Germans declared

Official Advices Dwell On
Success Of Army's
Retirement
GROUND EVACUATED
IS NOT EXTENSIVE
Large Collection In Rome
Taken Up For Relief Of
People in War Zone
BY John H. Hearley,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rome, Nov. 10-Ltaly 3 retirement to
behind the Piave river defense line had
been practically accomplished today
Reports dwell on the. success of the
withdrawal and of the splendid defense
position in which the Italian lines
were now drawn to receive and sustain
the shock of the Austro- German in
vasion.
The magnitude Of the task of with
drawal to behind the Piaye line was
made apparent with the arrival of
countless refugees from that territory.
1t was estimated that there are now
million homeless people in Rome,
many in dire need
Military exigencies dictated the com
plete civil as we'll as military exaeu-
alton of all the territory between the
Livenza and Piave rivers. Such large
villages and cities as Belluno, Vittor1o,
Conegliano, Parenone, Salile and Order
go were completely stripped of their
inhabitants. The enemy will find them
literally shells.
The abandonment of territory to the
invaders heretofore has not been on
such large scale. The evacuation for
the retreat across the Tagliamento was
only partial, presumably because of the
italian command never intending to
make its final stand before the enemy
along that line.
Collection in Rome for civilian relief
today reached 78O0O,00O lire (about
$15,600,000). Much more is needed
Cardinal Lafertaine, patriach of
Venice, today appealed to the populace
of that city to "remain calm and pray
to God to preserve them and their
homes" Dispatches from Venice to-
day said extraordinary precautions had

London, Nov. 10. The battle bv
which Kerensky hopes to save Russia
from the bolsheviki may be impending
around Petrograd, today according to
today's Interpretation here of bolshevi-
ki-eensored dispatches from the Rus
sian capital.
| The proclamation of the Petrograd So
Wet Of workmen and soldiers that the
kerensky, Kaledine and Korniloff par
ties are moving troops to Petrograd ,
gave the basis for belief in London that
the provisional government was about
to act with all its strength to stamp
Lenine, Trotsky and their mushroom
government.
At the same time there was consider
able apprehension here over one dis
patch passed by the bolsheviki censor
at Petrograd, and declaring that Am
erican Ambassador Francis had reeeiv-
ed word that the revolution had spread
to Moscow. This message asserted the
bolsheviki had repeated their coup at
Petrograd in Mosciw, assuming control
of all governmental machinery.
1t had been expected here that Mos
COW would rally to the support Of the
provisional government. The city has al
ways heretofore been a strong support
ler of Kerensky and the provisional gov
ernment. If it is confirmed that the
bolsheviki now control it the coup must
have been cleverly carried out. The last
word received regarding premier Ker-
ensky was that he was enroute to Mos
COW, with the expectation Of establish
ing the provisional governments cap-
ital there.
German Peace Program.
The suspicion. that Germany's hand
was behind the whole bolsheviki revolt
was strengthened today with the receipt
of dispatches quoting Nicholai Lenine's s
speech before the all-Russian council Of
workmen and soldiers He proposed a
program which dovetails exactly with
the long continued German peace prop
apAnda. Lenine, presumably spokesman
for the new powers installed at PetrO-
grad, proposed three months armiy-
iice of all warning powers-which would
carry Germany through a critical win-
ter if agreed to--and a conference of
representatives Of all nations to discuss
peace That conference has been repeat
e6ly urged by the Germans. The only
difference was that Lenine added the
bolsheviki trimmings of suggesting that
The conferees be " elected" by the pe0-
pie, rather than chosen by the govern
ment.
The greatest hope held in England
is that Lenine and is lieutenants viii
stick fast to their determination to
work for general and not a separate
peace. No single one of the allies viii
even think now of joining any Rus
eian faction in a move for general
peace. The Russian catastrophe has
rather stceled every individual to great
er realization of the task ahead OF
them in bringing Germany to terms
So long as Lenine WORKS for a general
peace he il doomed to disappointment
of any hope for support in England.
France, Italy or America. Every sort
of conflicting news from Russia filter
ed into London today. German-influen-
ced messages told of troops along the
northern front joining the Maximalists
and marching on Petrograd; Swiss mes
sages insisted word there indicated no
spread of the revolt except in the cities
where it had originated.

South China Silk Trade

Hong Kong firms interested in the ex-
port of raw and waste silk report great
uncertainty as to the trade with the
United States for the new season which
commenced May /, according to ad-
vices from George f.. Anderson, Amer
lean Consul General. While the pros
pective addition of war taxes in the
United States has much TO do with the
situation there is also uncertainty
along other lines. A rise of so per
cent in freight rates on silk is one Of
the occasions for hesitancy on the part
Of American buyers.
According TO the figures compiled for
the Hong Kong General Chamber of
Commerce, shipments of raw and
waste silk and pierced cocoons from
the South China field during the sea-
son of 1851, which ended April 30
were the largest since the season of
1924, although the United States
failed to take as large amounts in any
OF the classifcations of the silk as il
did last year. Shipments OF raw silk
for the season arc placed at 5l,97l
bales (of 112 pounds metz, as COM
pared with 1859 bales for the 1876
season. 391l4 bales for 19l4-15, and

bales for 1914-'l5. and 1863 bales for
1914, while Great Britain and the

The shipments of waste silk for the
season amounted TO 81, ,546 bales, as
compared with 26,S3l bales the pre-
vious season, 25,l49 bales in 19l4-15,

Canada Asks
u. s. Government
For Big Loan
Advance Needed to Settle
Adverse Balance, Finance
Minister Says
from Tho Tnbuns Bureaul

Washington, July 1.-THE general
financial situation between Canada and
the United States growing out Of the
commercial relations between the two
countries was discussed at a confer
ence between the Secretary of the
Treasury and Sir Thomas White, the
Canadian Minister of Finance, to-day.
The question of a large loan to :he
Canadian government is understood to
have been taken up at the conference.
Heavy Purchases Here
Speaking of the commercial rela-
tions between the two countries, Sir
Thomas White called attention to the
fact that Canada was among Americas
best customers, her purchases from
the United States during the ten
months ended with April 80 being val
ued at s609, ,209,543, while her sales TO
this country during the same period
were valued at s236,S29,775, leaving a
balance of trade against the Dominion
of $365,377,76s.
This unfavorf Bile trade balance was
reGressed to q considerable extent, de-
clared Sir Thcmas, by the Canadian
borrowings in New York by the sale
Of Canadian securities, as we'll as by
Csnada's favorable trade balance with
European countries.
Since the entry Of the United States
into the war, said the minister, Cana
dian borrowing in New York has ceased
because the Liberty Loan was before
the public and had, of course, the right
of way over all other issues. IL would
now seem, the Canadian minister de-
clared, that Canada can only continue
to purchase ir such large measure
from the United States provided rea-
sonable degree Of borrowing is allowed
her governments and municipalities in
the United States.
Exchange Unfavorable
Until quite recently exchange has
been normal between the two coun-
tries, but latterly it has gone slightly
adverse to Canada. The reason is that
during April, May and June Canadian
exccsses of imports from the United
States over exports TO the United
States have more than proportlonately
increased. For April and May the
excess was more than double what 1t
was for April and May, 1916. The sit
uation could be readily remedied by a
loan or loars in the United States, the
minister said.
Canada's credit has been maintained
throughout the war Although bor-
rowing country when the war broke
out, such has been the patriotism Of
the people and the enormously in
creased value Of production that the
Dominion has been able to float sue
cessfully and distribute among the
people three war loans aggregating
s35O,O00,0O0. These loans were all
heavily oversubscribed.
