HELSINGFORS, May 22.-(Via
London, May 24)-The bolsheviki
are reported to have offered impor-
tant concessions to both the allies
and anti-soviet Russians, in an eff
fort TO avert capture of Petrograd
and the threatened isolation of Mos
COW.
The advance of the Firms from the
north and the Esthonians from the
west is squeezing Petrograd in a wise
from which the only escape is by
evacuation of the city. The move
ment of the EsthOnians also threat
ems TO cut railway communication
between Petrograd and Moscow and
the bOlshevik forces apparently must
defeat the EsthOnians quickly or be-
gin their retreat from PetrOgrad TO
prevent being hemmed in there.
Report Naval Battle.
An allied fleet. according 10 uncon-
irmed reports received here. is en-
gaging the resurrected Russian Bal
tic fleet in the gulf of Finland, not
far from Petrograd. in cooperation
with the EsthOnian army.
The bolshevik leaders in Petrograd
are said 10 be growing panicky and
hundreds of their followers are re-
ported to be deserting. More than
half a million workers in the fac
tories there have been called TO take
up arms against the Esthonians and
Firms, and the bolsheviki claim they
have mobilized 100000 soldiers 10
oppose their enemies on all fronts.
Starvation in Petrograd is understood
TO be imminent and various reports
have it that thousands are dying
