reports of Thursday were admitted in

In addition to the five captured one
was shot down.

PETROGRAD, June 27--The victual-
Ing Of PetrOgrad now has reached
more critical stage. There often is no

thereof only half a pound of potatoes
per head and the, same quantity of dried
pot herbs. This morning it was said
That from tomorrow there will be only
three days more either bread or pOta-
toes and we shall have to make shift
with desiccated, vegetables alone. This
fact and the reduction Of our maximum
allowance Of black bread TO two ounces

convey some idea of the state of things.
