every state bordering on the Missis-

Moscow, May 15.-Fighting began at

The anarchists replied with grenades

Firms Assassinate Russ.
An official statement declares that
after the occupation of Tammerfors,
Finland, by the Finnish White guard,
500 Russian officers and men were
shot.
The Russians, it is declared, were
taken to the Municipal theater at night.
The next morning, the statement says,
they were brought out in groups of so,
lined up and moved down with ma
cline guns.
The statement also contains a report
on the battle fought near Lahti, the
engagement reported by Berlin to have
resulted in the overwhelming defeat of
the Red G ard, in which 10000 of the
Red guard forces were taken prison
ers, early this month. The statement
describes the engagement as a des-
perate and bloody one and declares the
White guards and the Germans lost
about 1000 killed. Many civilians, it
is stated, were killed by the German
bOmbardment.
Entire Caucasus Seized.
Moscow, May 15.-Through the cap
ture of Rostov-on-Don the Germans
have gained control of the Caucasus,
the grain districts in the Donetz basin,
and the coal, iron and oil fields.
Northern Russia is now cut off from
the Caucasus except for a single rail-
road through TZaritsin, in the south
ern part of Saratov, which the Ger
mans now threaten.
Coupled with the fall of Sebastopol
and the. overthrow of the Ukraine
rada and the establishment in the
Ukraine of a bourgeoise government
wholly under German domination, the
capture of ROstov-On-Don has created
great uneasiness in Moscow and Petro-
grad.
May Move Capital.
A German advance in central Rus
STA is generally feared, and the remov-
al of the capital to Yekaterinburg in
the Ural mountains is being discussed.
Germany's overthrow of the Ukraine
government, with which it had made
peace, is regarded by north Russia as
a step toward its occupation.
Within a few weeks the future of
Petrograd and Moscow probably will
be determined, as it is considered that
the soviet government either must
submit to German domination or re-
treat eastward and prepare for a de-
tense against the invaders.
