RE TIERS QUIT

Charge Across Ice in Three
Assaults; Dispatches Say
Defeat Decisive

By United Press.
Helsingfors, Mar. 1S.--The com
plete surrender of the Russian revo-
lutionaries at Kronstadt was report
ed today.
The surrender Is said to have fol
lowed a heavy assault by bolshevik
troops who marched over the ice to
gain contact with the rebels, the
fighting being described as of the
fiercest nature.
General Koslovki, who is the head
OF the revolutionary army, is said to
have crossed to the Finnish coast
with about 1900 troops. This is
taken to mean that the defeat of the
rebel forces by the soviet troops
was decisive and that they were
completely routed.
An attempt to blow up the battle
ships, Petropavlock and Sebastapol
was said to have been made before
the revolutionaries abandoned the
citadel.
