SIBERIAN REDS ARE IN FLIGHT

Anti-Bolshevik Forces Advancing on Five Fronts, London Hears. z PETROGRAD IS NEAR FALL Kolchak, Deniklne and Yudenltch Cooperate at Hammering the Reda— Lenine Regime le Said to Bo Tottering In Crisis. London. Oct. 17. —GeneraNYudenltcb is reported to have captured Petrograd Wednesday night according to the Daily Express. There is no official confirmation of the rep* rt. Kronstadt, the big naval fortress protecting the former Russian capital. Is said to have capitulated. London, Oct. 17.—A general retreat by the bolshevlkl before the armies of Admiral Kolchak in western Siberia is announced in a wireless message from the Kolchak government at Omsk, dated October 13. The dispatch adds that tne bolshevik! are deporting the entire population between thfe ages of sixteen and fifty and are likewise removing the cattle. The message also reports that a boL shevlst wireless dispatch had been received which admitted that in a plebiscite in Moscow the workingmen had declared themselves against the soviet and as supporting Admiral Kolchak. Generals Deniklne and Yudenltch and Admiral Kolchak are said to be operating in close co-ordination. Forced Back on Five Fronts. Forced back by the onslaughts of enemies on five fronts, the armies of the soviet government of Russia appear to be facing a peflod threatening disaster. Genera! Denlkine’s Cossacks from the south, Polish froces from the west, northwestern / Russian legions on the northwest, and northern Russian troops from the north, have during the last few days forged ahead until It seems the bolshevlst armies are between the upper and nether millstones. Petrograd Is doomed to capture In the near future In the opinion of observers, General Yudenltch being at Gatchina, only 25 miles south of the former Russian capital. In the extreme north the northern army hag broken the resistance of the bolshevlkl, according to reports, and are pursuing the enemy toward Onega, a village about 150 miles west of Archangel, after occupying the enemies fortified positions along the railroad, capturing guns and prisoners and repulsing the reds in the direction of Kotohmas. Farther south the northern army has forced its way far down along tfie Dvina river. Poles and Deniklne Advance. Polish forces have captured Kovno, on the extreme northern end of their line. Denlkine’s men have driven a giant wedge into central Russia as far as Orel and are thought to be on their way toward Tula, an important railway center that is considered the key to Moscow. East of the' Urals is Admiral Kolchaks army, but it Is seemingly too far away to enter into consideration as a vital factor in the situation which is developing in Russia proper. Generals Deniklne and Yudenltch and Admiral Kolchak are said to be operating in close co-ordination. w West of General Denlkine’s army are forces of Ukrainians who, while supposed to be hostile to the bolshevlkl, have declared war on Deniklne be cause of alleged atrocities perperated by the latter’s soldiers on their advance toward Moscow. Reports have been received, however, that part of the Ukrainian army has joined Deniklne, having been assured that the latter will wrest eastern Galicia and the province of Cholm from Poland.
