ONA BIG SCALE IS nv PROGRESS IN AUSTRIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUMMARY OF The WAR

Dispatches from Copenhagen to-
day carry uneonfirmed reports of
the overthrow of the 5oIshevik gov
ernment at Moscow. The reports
which are received. "with caution"
in London, because Of their origin in
"Gernan sources" state that Gen.
erals korniIoR and kaIedines led
the anti-soViet forces which took
Moscow. They add that Grand
Duke Nicholas, cousin Of the former
emperor and commander Of the
Russian armies during the cam
Paiens early in the war, had been
proclaimed emperor
REPORTS DOUBTED.
A lack of coherence Is noted In the
reports through their inclusion Of q
quotation from Tho Berlin .Tages
Zeitung, which says:
"ksrensky is the man Of the fut-
ure in Russia" This hardly agrees
with the statement that Grand Duke
Nicholas had been made emperor by
the counter revoIutionariss.
Generals korniloff and kaIedines
are said to have been assisted by
German troops in the reported cap
ture of Moscow, and this adds an
other note of confusion TO the ae-
count, as no German troops have
been reported near enough 20 Mos
COW to render the generals any aid,
even If Germany were inclined 70
array herself against the solSheVik
authorities which she has seemed
indisposed to do. The two generals
named 1t may be noted, have both
previously been reported to have
been killed in battle or assassinated.
Dispatches today carried renewed
assertions that NichoIab Romanoff,
the former Russian emperor, has
been assas5inated. The latest report
10 that he wac killed while on his
way to Moscow from Ekatertnburg,
from which city he had been taken
when the CZeeho- SIoVak forces
were about TO occupy the place.
Further reports Of a revolutionary
movement in Austria have been re-
ceived. IL 10 stated that 1000 mem.
bers Of the military forces at Raab
and PEGS have been condemned to
death for their participation in the
disorders in Hungary, whore two
aarrisone are reported to have
mutinied.
Local actions along the British
and FFeneh fronts, are mentioned In
the "a ial statements jGsued Ct

There are yet no outward lRdIea"
tions as to when and whore the Ger.
man command will launch It's next
stroke against the allied lines. The
ffuhtInn IuIl on the western front
continues with only raids and local
attacks while on the italian front
the Austrians reelIna from the shock
of the repuIse on the PiaVe seeming

Il 10 two weeks since the German
Crown Prince ceased his Intellectual
efforts TO reach Conpiegne and the
breathing space, which has been
longer than between the offensive
Noyon -Montdidier 'front.' has been
sufficient TO permit the Germans TO
prepare fully for a renewal Of the
offensive. Allied capitals look for
another enemy blow very soon. Mill
tary observers believe IL vii come
on the front between montdidier and
Ypres.
artillery fire has been violent on s0v-
eral sectors, each of which might be
selected for an attack. These SEQ
tors are south of Arras. the northern
