via MOSCOW, told of certain troops
ordered to sntraIn for service against
the BolsheViki, Who mutinied and at
tempted to halt passage Of special
trains bearing o.her soldiers toward
Potrograd.
Government Employees Loyal.
Most encouraging Of the late news
was word from Petrograd that the
railway. post and telegraph en-
Sloyss-all government servants-had
NWitched their allegiance from the
6olsheviki back TO the provisional
government and refused to obey Boil
bheyiki censors. This opened the first
channel of news from Kerensky's side
~ to conditions in the capital Spe-
SiAl correspondents for London news
papers in Petrograd sent dispatches
agreeing that support Of the pacifsts
GHs dissolving.
According to these dispatches there
has already been some fighting on the
streets Of PetroErad. A great deal
has been due to lawless elements TAX
ting advantage OF the disorganization
In the capital to loot and rob.
Numerous government buildings. IN
eluding the Winter Palace, have been
stripped by soldiers OF decorations and
SaluAbles, the process going on openly.
Many OF these soldiers, loaded with
Sheir booty, have encountered provi-
Giond government troops closing in
n the city and have been shot.
TsaFkoe-SeIo Regained.
Wireless dispatches from Moscow
declared that the counter-revolt
GEainst the BoIIheviki was in progress
In Pstrograd and that overthrow OF
ne paeihHts was only a matter Of
AourA. The same source asserted that
the village OF Tsarkoe-Selo, about
twelve miles from Petrograd. had been
taken by Kerensky troops. Formation
Of IN all-RuSsiGn organisation to res
cue the nation was also reported.
XsrsnSky, with General Alexieff. chief
Of the army, was alleged TO have es-
capped the Bolsheviki by lying con-
esaled In the bottom OF an ambulance.
One dispatch from Petrograd detailed
that the Russian fieet which appeared

''PINcERS MOVEMENT" MAY.
FORCE ITALIANS TO GIVE
UP VENICE TO GUARD ARMY

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Ths inter-allied
military commission, which is direct
ing the campaign for the salvation
of Italy is today delivering its first
blow against the invading Austro-
German armies
Along the lower Piavs river. and
upon the Asiage plateau (south OF
the Sugana Valley Italian troops and
their allies have followed a bonn
bardment OF the Teutonic positions
with sharp thrusts, and at some
points the advance guards OF the In
vaders were thrown back, said ad-
vices from Rome today.
In the Sugana valley, which crosses
the frontier from AustrIa-Hungary
into Italy northeast OF Rovereto, ad-
vancinR Austro-German forces were
halted, and some of them captured by
General DIaz's BersaglierL
II, as the German war office claims,
the italian towns OF Belluno and
Vidor have been captured by the Teu-
tons, q new menace confronts the
italian armies holding the Piaye line
north Of Vidor, and serious obstacles
have been placed in the way of their
retreat southward.
With increasing pressure against
both tanks OF the Italian armies on
the PIave river. a new strategic re-
tirement may be necessary to avoid
the cutting of OF the Italian troops
in the Alps north of the line of
Asiago and Vidor.
AsIago Is now held by the Germans.
II such . retirement Is carried out
the Italians may voluntarily give up
Venice, although such q move would
hit the Italians hard in a sentimental
way, for this ancient city is dear TO
every italian heart, and Is rich in the
lore OF Italian history.
LONDON, Nov. IA wireless dis
patch from Berlin says that Austro
troops which are carrying
out the new offensive on the Trentino
front, were attacked by italian de-
tGchments which pressed them back
at one point. The Italians have made
a stand on the lower Piave river.
Belluno, in the foothills OF the
Alps, hfty-one miles north OF Venice,
on the west bank OF the Piaye, has
fallen into the enemy's hands. An
official statement says.
Strong Italian forces threw them
selves against detachmsnts advancing
eastward beyond Asiago, and pressed
them back somewhat at one point
THE enemy made stand on the
lower Piave"
IN Settle commune and in the Su-
CANA valley Utalian 'front.' ground

Tended by the enemy"
