RUSSIANS SHOW RESISTANCE AND DRIVE ENEMY FROM THE

New York Late reports show from Narva, west of Fetrograd, was result of successful resistance by Russian forces at Hamburg, 6S miles southwest of Petrograd This resist anee may be only q local case of the disposition of the Bolshevik govern ment to fight against further inva- sion of Great Russia, but it shows the Russians still are capable of an effective defense.
 The last details relative to the peace signed with Finland shows that from the Arctic ocean to the Black sea the German power is complete. It is reported that Finland has asked" Emperor William to place his son Oscar on the Finnish throne. This, as was indicated a few days ago, ab solutely deprives Russia of both shores of the Gulf of Finland and makes Petrograd an inland city So far as foreign commerce is concerned Differences between Ensign Kry- lenko commander of the Bolshevik armies and the peoples commissaries are reported to have led to the resig- nation of krylenko, who recently had urged the Russian people to use all means at their command to resist the central powers. This is the first split among the men who have com posed the Bolshevik government, al though there have been reports from time to time that either Lenine or Trotzky or both, would resign
 German claims that the Ukrainian city of Kiev had been occupied are denied in Petrograd, which says that the city is still in the hands of the Bolsheviki, who captured it more than month ago from the Ukrainian rada, which later made peace with the Teutcns. Berlin's annorncement of the capture of Kiev was made just as Russia and Germany agreed to peace terms and since then there have been no reports of military ac- tiyity in that region.
