Plans of thousands Of aliens

According TO the supreme court de-

as a basis on which Il. secure their IL

they reside. and then file a petition

CHAOS REIGNs IN PETROGRAD.
Opposition to BOlsheViki Increasing; I;
Soldiers Rob Citizens OF Clothes.

The latest reports received from Pc

are becoming worse. Opposition to
the Bolsheviki government is growing
principally because of the recent muir
der of two more members of the Ker-
ensky cabinet.
The Bolsheviki are bring many
troops from the front, apparently for
the protection of the government
members. Crowds of persons assem-
sidewalkers, many of whom openly
denOunce the Bolsheviki regime.
The police have disappeared and it
is a daily occurrence for soldiers in
automobiles to pull well dressed citi-
zens into the cars, to divest them of
their outer garments and leave them
half naked in the snow.
No family in Petrograd is allowed
to occupy more than four rooms.a A
simple meal costs from so to so rubles
Economic conditions are in a state
Of complete chaos. Postage stamps
of the czaristic regime are made TO
serve for small change. Similar con-
ditiOns exist at Kronstadt, where the
banks have been sacked and their Of
ficials turned into the streets
A Reuters limited dispatch from
Petrograd quotes an announcement
signed by NJ. Joffre, chairman of the
Russian peace delegation at Brest-
Litovsk, that the Bolsheviki govern
ment has recognized a new delegation
from the peoples secretaria of the
workmen and peasants of the Ukrain-
ian republic. This delegation is to

tiations instead of the delegation from

said, represents the bourgeoise.
