Anti.Bolsheyiki Rising.

Amsterdam, Aug. 12.-The position of the soviet government in Russia is considered very serious by the Mos COW correspondent of the Tageblatt of Berlin. He announced that the Czech-Slovak forces have increased from 7,5OO to 100000 and are being reinforced by Serbians, Cossacks and counter-revolutionists.
 Reports received in London Sun day that the Bolsheviki leaders in- tended to fee to Germany lent color to the German report that they had alreday gone to Kronstadt. Copen- hagen dispatches Sunday said that anti-Bolsheviki movements in Russia was growing rapidly and that the Bol- sheviki government virtually had gone to pieces These reports were taken from Russian newspapers.
 Lenine and Trotzky have been in power since the overthrow of the Kerensky cabinet last November. They negotiated the Brest Litovsk peace.
 The Petrograd newspaper, Izves- ta, is quoted by the correspondent as stating that at several points ''in that part of Russia, not occupied by the enemy" counter-revolutionary move ments have broken out in a number of towns. The Bolsheviki soviets have been overthrown in these places and replaced my councils consisting of representatives of the Mensheviki or moderates.
 In the city of Kazan, the newspa- per adds, the widely known Bolsheviki leader Olschinsky has been killed, while there has been great bloodshed among the Bolsheviki in the Novgo- rod and Riazan districts.
