Great Russian Fortress, Sen.
tinel at Gate Of Petrograd,
CapituIates.
SOVIET TROOPS RETREAT
State Department at Wash.
ington Advised by Con-
sui of Capture.

! Washington, Oct. II. CA.
P.)-Reports of the capture Of
Petrograd and Kronstadt by the
northwestern Russian forces un-
der Gen. Yudenitch were re-
ceived at the state department
today from an American con-
sular officer in Sweden on the
Finnish border. Confirmation
of the reports had not been re-
ceived when the dispatch was
sent, but it was said they gen
orally were credited in Sweden.
Reds Lacked Discipline.
The defeat of the bolsheyikj
before Petrograd is said to have
been due to lack of discipline, as
they have plenty of ammunition
and guns. The bolsheviki front
has been broken at several
places and the soviet reserves
are insufficient to check the adj
vance of the Yudenitch forces.
Mutiny Among Soviet.
Soviet troops are reported to be
leaving Petrograd, a mutiny among
the men having broken out. In anv
event advices indicate the Yuden.
Itch forces are encountering feeble
resistance.
Bolshevikl troops are said to hava
captured Kiev, but In this region the
situation is obscure. It was renorted
last week Kiev was in the hands of
Gen. Petlura's Ukrainian army which
advanced against Gen. Denikine's left
Hank following Petlura's declaration
OF war on the Cossack chieftain.
Further details of the situation
south of Moscow have not been rc-
ceiVed, but 1t appears the bolsbevik
armies In that region are launching
counter attacks against Gen. Deni-
kine's lines. With the exception OF
the capture of Kiev, the bolsheyikI
seem to have been repulsed along tho
new front. There is also some un-
certainty as TO the exact situation in
Lithuania, where Russian and Lith-
uanian forces are mobilized. I.ith.
uanian troops have been. ordered to
ADVANCE against Shawl, In the gov
ernment of Kovno. II this movement
should be carried out the Lithuan-
lans would be in the rear of the Ger
man. Russian forces. which advanced
against Riga last week and have
since last Friday been fighting Let
tish and Esthonian troops in that
city.
koIchak Advancing Rapidly.
In the meantime Admiral Kolchnk.
mead of the all-Russian government
at Omsk, and commander Of the anti
bolshevtk elements on the east Rua-
sian front. is advancing rapidly In
pursuit of the soviet armies which
nave been ordered to retire. The To-
cation of the line of battle in this
region has not been reported recently
but 1t Is known to be west of the TO-

| H. NJ s.)-Petrosrad has at last beer

celebrating the deliverance Of the oit,
were held in tho Russian orthodox
| church.
The main attack against Kronstadt
the chief defense of Petrograd on the
sea side, was delivered by the British
fleet from Kuporia bay and was en-
tirely successful. The bombardment
was terrific. The concussion was
felt In villages in Finland and win
dows were shattered.
Count Radowitz, secretary to the
German mission in Helsingfors, at n
banquet at the German club, said that
Col. Bermondt's force had been raised
and maintained with the late czar's
private fortune. This money was sent
to Berlin at the tine of the Russian
revolution. The German government
was said by Count Radowitz to have
equipped the army of Gen. Won der
Goltz secretly. fearing that open ac-
tivity In this direction might reopen
the world war. Count Radowitz ex-
pressed the view that 1t would be best
Tor Germany to abandon the adven-
ture In the Baltic provinces.

the Germans against the Let's. The
Germans were said 10 be marching

marching on Petrograd has been re-
inforced by troops commanded by
Prince Peter Lieven and volunteers

vanguard of the advance on the for

Saturday stated that Prince Peter
Lieven was experimenting the CO.

Esthonian forces are reported not
to have advanced materially, but no
further advances by the Russo Ger
man troops along the southern coast
Of the Gulf of Finland have been
made.
The Yakusheff proclamation at
tackled the Kolchap regime and called
for the formation of temporary gov
ernment responsible to the Zemstvo
congress. Admiral Kolchak's procla-
nation issued some ten days later,
met this demand in part at least, by |
announcing the summoning of a Zem-
