London. Oct. 17.-Bolshevik wire
less communication received here re-
ports stubborn fighting about six and
a half miles west of Krasnaia Gorka
and in the region of Krasnoy E Selo
and Gatchina, also about fifteen miles
northeast of Pakov. A wireless from
Moscow says that eleven enemy tor
pedo boats are bombarding Krasnaia
Gorka. IA Stockholm dispatch re-
ceived here says the army of General
Yudenitch entered the suburbs of Pc
trograd Thursday afternoon.
Soviet troops are reported to be
leaving Petrograd, mutiny among
the men having broken out. In any
event advices indicate the Yudenitch
forces are encountering feeble resist
ance.
Bolshevik troops are said to have
captured Kiev, but in this region the
situation is obscure. 1t was reported
last week Kiev was in the hands of
General Petlura's Ukranian army
which advanced against General Dem
-ikine's left flank following Petlura's
declaration of war on the Cossack
chieftain.
Further details of the situation
south of Moscow have not been re-
ceived, but it appears the Bolshevik
armies in that region are launching
counter attacks against! General DEN
the capture of Kiev, the -5olsheviki
seem to have been repulsed along
the new front.
There is also some uncertainty as
to the exact situation in Lithuania,
where Russian and Lithuanian forces
are modified. Lithuanian troops
have been ordered to advance against
Shawl, in the government of Kovio.
If this movement should be carried
out. the Lithuanians would be in the
rear or the German Russian forces
which advanced against Riga last
week and have since Friday been
reaching Lettish troops in that city.
In the mean time Admiral Kolchak
head of the all-Russian government
at Omsk and commander of the anti
Bolshevik elements on the east Rus
sian front is advancing rapidly in
pursuit of the Soviet armies which
have been ordered to retire. The To-
cation of the line of battle in this re-
gion has not been reported recently,
but it is known to be west of the To-
boil river which flows northward
through the eastern foothills of the
Urals.
Stockholm, Oct. 17.-General Yuden-
itch, whose northwestern army is
marching on Petrogard, has been re-
inforced by troops commanded by
Prince Peter Lieven and volunteers
from Archangel, who now form the
vanguard of the advance on the for
mer Russian capital according to a
Helsingfors dispatch to the Dagbla-
det.
GA London dispatch received last
Saturday stated that Prince Peter
Lieven was experimenting the co-or-
dination of forces commanded by
Colonel Avaloff- Bermondt and Cen
eral Won der Goltz, which have been
fighting in and around Riga for sew
eral days.)
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 defeat of the Bolsheviki
before Petrograd is said to have due
to a lack of discipline, as they have
plenty of ammunition and guns The
Bolshevik front has been broken at
several places. and the Soviet re-
serves are insufficient to check the
advance of the Yudenitch forces.
A terrific bombardment by the Brit
ish fleet in the Gulf of Finland pre-
ceded the capitulation of the great
Russian fortress and naval base OF
Kronstadt, according to advices re-
ceived here.
An official Russian statement con-
firms the capture of Gatchina and
Krasnaia Gorka on the coast of the
Gulf of Finland by General Yuden-
itch. Gatchina was stormed after a
short bombardment. the Bolsheyiki
fleeing when the northwestern army
charged with bayonets.
