Petrosrad Capture Useless.

London, May 25.-While there is no
confirmation from other sources that
Nikolai Lenine. the bolshevik premier
OF Russia, has proposed an armistice
to Admiral Kolchak, head of the all
Russian government at Omsk, there
are indications that the bolsheviki are
anxious over the fate of PetrograG and
Moscow. A wireless Russian dispatch
states that the defense committee Of
MOSCOW is appealing for women volun-
teers for military service in towns and
admits that -bolshevik troops are
fighting in the outskirts Of Riga on the
left bank Of the Dvina.
According to the Reuter- correspond
ent with the allied forces in the Muir
mansk region. who reflects military
views. there is no doubt that Petrograt d
can be taKekr but he says its capture
would be useless, owing to the allies
inability to feed the population as tho
British line of communications is al
ready 500 miles long, with a single line
OF railway. The correspondent adds
that Admiral Kolchak's troops should
be in Fiatka in six weeks and, soon
afterward should be in touch with the
Archangel front. He says, once sup
plies from Siberia are assured. the
capture of Moscow and Petrograd will
follow in a short time.

Left One Week Ago.

st. Johns. n. f.. May 26---1t was
week almost to the hour since Haw-
ker and Grieve left here on the trans
Atlantic air journey that the seeming
ly veracious report of their safety
reached those already long mourning
them for dead. When n message ar
rived that Lloyd's signal station at the
Butt of Lewis, in the Hebrides, report
ed both men aboard the freighter
Mary, bound for Denmark, the asso =
ciates here of the Sopwith pilot and
navigator were at first skeptical and
disinclned to heed the good news. But
when the shipping record verified the
existence of the steamer and showed
that it carried no wireless nnd a study
of the usual route from souther
United States TO Denmark showed that
the course would take the ship within
possibly hundred miles OF the Butt
of Lewis signal station, some credence
was given the report.
Within an hour after the first re.
ceipt, study of all the circumstances,
notably the fact that it originated with
Lloyds. and names of both the ship and
signal station were given, brought be-
lief, ana turned nrv sT.oc :. 81! s:3 a.: !. ::
