by which Kerenshy hopes 10 save
Russia from the Bolshevfki may be
impending around Petrograd today,
according to today's Interpretation
here of Bolsheyiki-censored dis
patches from thsrS.sussian capital.
The proclamation OF the Petro-

for belief in London that the pro-

out Lenine, Trotsky and their mush-
room government
At the same time there was con-
siderable apprehension here over
one dispatch. passed by the Bolshe-
Wiki censor at Petrograd and declar-
ing that American Ambassador
Francis had received word that the
revolution had spread TO Moscow.
This message asserted the Bolshe-
wiki had repeated their coup at
Petrograd in Moscow, assuming con-
troll Of all governmental machinery.
II had been expected here that
Moscow would rally to support OF

city has always heretofore been a

word received regarding Premier

The suspicion that Gernany's
