Many reports from Russia recently
have told of evidences of revolt on the
part Of the Russians against the Boil
shevik regime. One report. which later
was denied, stated that there were
disturbances in Moscow. Most of the
disorders reported, however, have in
dicated that Petrograd was the center
Of djsaffection.
Reports from Moscow six weeks ego
stated that the people had risen
against the commissars and mad killed
several of these Red officials. It also
was stated that there were riots among
some of the industrial population.
Since the defeat of the Reds by the
Poles the rumors of internal troubles
have come more frequently from Rus
sia. These reports were taken as in
dicating that the hold OF Trotzky ami
lenine upon the people had been weak
ened ana that an uprising might be
expected at any moment.
The kremlin is the seat of the Red
government.
