NO SUPPLIES
FOR RUSSIA

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s.-The
United States and her allies are
united in q stand against any sep
arate peace now. And while no
official statement on the subject
had been made, 1t was believed
here that the allies have Impress
cd Russia with this thought in the
midst of her mad effort for an
armistice.
There are renewed indications
that thie government proposes not
to ship any further supplies to
Russia until there exists some
thing more like a national gov
eminent than the Lenine- Trotsky
regime.
Indications point to the posi-
hf1ty OF General Kaledines, het-
man Of the Don Cossacks, getting
the upper hand.
But American and allied plans
are shaped now on the theory that
little or no help can be expected
from Russia for months. The
best that can be anticipated is
that there will be no separate
peace which would permit Ger
many to open up Russia as q
storehouss and supply depot for
the Teuton armies.

Russian army officers slaughtered

bloody deeds of violence by which
the bolsheviki gained control in

out Of Petrograd by a creditable
Russian citizen today.
The fighting at Kieff lasted six
days. 1t was a veritable reign
of terror. The bolsheviki now
have complete control of the city.
Finland Desperate.
American Minister Morris re-
ceived this report from the trav-
eler today. He was told that the
$50 Russian officers persisted in
an heroic defense of Moscow's
biggest hotel, and that the fren-
zied bolsheviki mob literally pull
ed the structure to pieues.

Miss Errazuriz also declared de
Saulles, shortly after marrying

accident in Chile in which her
head was cut open, the witness
asserted.
"When visiting my sister In
America, l heard little Jack tell
his mother that de Saulles was

In the famous Cerna river bend

The Germans are keeping up with
great intensity their offensive against
the British around Fresnoy and TO
the east OF Bullecourt, but are be-
ing hard held by Field Marshal Haig's
forces. The village of f'resnoy ap-
parently remains In the hands of the
Germans after its recapture Tuesday
but the Canadians and South Eng

and put an end to their harassing
fire.
To the east of Bullecourt, where the
British have established themselves a
scant two miles from the outskirts of
Queant, the Germans are striving
hard TO push back the British to pre-
vent the capture Of the southern end
Of the Drocourt- -Queant line, which
would prove of great menace to the

Viciousness of the battle is indicated
by the German official communica-
