London, Oct. 22.-Notwithstand-
ing General Yudenitch's great sue
cess, his force is in imminent dan
ger from a Bolshevik attack in the
rear, says a Helsingfors dispatch
under date of Monday to the Mail.
Yudenitch probably has not more
than 10000 men on the firing line
and little artillery, with long lines
of communication, the correspondent
adds.
Trotzky's experts, who include sew
eral well-known Russian generals,
have launched a powerful. offensiV
in the direction of Gdoff, threaten
ing Yudenitch's forces from behind,
while the left flank is liable to be
shelled by the RED" ships at Pc
trograd. The city, says the corre-
spondent, contains 10000 obstinate
communist reserves, who are pre-
pairing for hard street fighting.
Revolt in Petrograd
A dispatch to the Central News
from Helsingfors says that Russian
newspapers arriving there report a
state of rebellion in and around Pc
trograd and the discovery of coun-
ter revolutionary movement in the
Bolshevik front lines.
A wireless communication from
Bolshevik sources says that tghting
is in progress six miles to the north
of Krasnoye Selo, where the Reds
are advancing. There is fierce fight
ting also along the Windau railroad.
The abandonment of Kiev by the
Bolsheviki is admitted, after a Sc
we're battle, in which the Reds claim
to have taken many prisoners.
Kronstadt has not been attacked
and will not be by the naval forces
now in the Baltic, and if the Boil
sheviki evacuate the fortress before
Petrograd falls it will be great sur
prise, according to an admiralty
statement given to The Associated
Press.
Expect KronStadt to Fall
The admiralty, however, expects
that Kronstadt will surrender soon
after Petrograd is captured, prob
ably to the British fleet in those
waters: Messages received by the
admiralty from Admiral Cowan, the
British commander in the Baltic, do
not mention the white flag incident
at Kronstadt.
Admiralty officers, who have had
experience with the Bolsheviki,
would not be surprised if the white
flag really had been run up on the
fortress, as has been done in other
instances, by irresponsible persons In
the BolsheVik ranks. At present the

ing at a respectful distance from the
heavy batteries of Kronstadt, un-
willing to get within range until
confident that the Bolsheviki mean
to surrender.
Soviet Counterattack
General Yudenitch, commander of
the Northwestern Russian army.
seems to have been brought to a.
virtual standstill by the stubborn
defense of Petrograd, which is al
most within sight of his men. Soviet
forces are even reported to have
taken the offensive north of Kras-
noie, Selo, but details of the fight
ing nave not yet been fully re-
ported.
East of Pulkovo. the Yudenitch
army appears to have encountered
strong Bolshevik columns. Pulkovo
is about three miles from the only
remaining railway line running
south from Petrograd and the inn
portance of retaining control of this
road may explain the savage fight
ing in that sector Late reports
state that heavier artillery is being
brought up by General Yudenitch.
Kronstadt has not surrendered to
the anti-Bolsheviki, and has not
been attacked, according to q Brit
ish Admiralty statement.
Official reports issued from Soviet
headnuarterS at MOSCOW admit thn
