er. instead, he insisted, it has brought
about an increase in price.

FORCES DRIVEN BACK.

LONDON. Oct. 21-Forces of the
Russian soviet government are being
slowly driven back to their last de-
fenses in front of Petrograd. General
Yudenitch has captured Pulkova,
about miles south of the city, and
Ligova, less than miles to the south
west, according to unofficial reports.
Bolshevik troops arc apparently
formed along the Petrograd-Luga-
Pskox railroad, where they are stub
bornly contesting each attempt of the
Yudenitch forces to drive eastward.
The anti-Bolsheviki reached a point
near Luga last week but since that
time there has been no indication that
the railroad has ever been crossed at
any point south of Gatchina, which IS
admitted to be in the hands of the
Yudenitch army.
Horee, however, has been retaken
by the Bolsheviki, who also have de-
feated 19 regiments of General Nam
ontoff's army outside of Voronezs, &C
cording to wireless despatch sent
out by the Soviet government in
Moscow.
The fortress of Kronstadt was still
in the hands Of the Bolsheviki Sunday,
according to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail, from Terjioki, Finland, from
which place the Red flag was visible
at the mast head Of the battleship
Petrohavlovsk. which is reported to
have been raised since she was tor
pedoed by the British in August and
now is lying il the Kronstadt harbor.
The dispatch to the Mail states that
factories at Kronstadt were working
Sunday. and that seaplanes which
bombed the fortress that-day were
fired en- by anti-craft guns. The rt-
ported raising Of the white flag at
Kronstadt Friday is as yet unex-
planned.
1t is pretty generally assumed here
that Petrograd Is isolated and its fall
is a matter of short time but the
position is obscure with the exception
Of official statements that the rail
road to Moscow has been cut and that
beseigers are within only few miles
of the city. 1t is said they are hold
ing, among other places, Pulkovo, the
site Of the famous imperial observa
tory, which overlooks Petrograd.
There are no details of actual op
erations nor any reliable news as tc
what force the reds are able to put ir
the field to oppose the army command
ed by General Yudenitch. A Helsing
fors dispatch received yesterday says
General Yudenitch and staff are a.
Gatchina, which apparently confirms
the British war office assumption tha
that place is firmly in the hands oI
the anti-Bolsheviki.
