The Allies Blamed of Course London, March 4.
To-day's wireless message from Moscow makes mention for the first time of the outbreak of an anti-Bolshevist mutiny in Petrograd vy General Kozlovski and on the ship Petro-Pavlovsk. The outbreak is, as a matter of form, attributed to Entente machinations.
It is reported from Stockholm that troops have been summoned to Petrograd from: the north and are apparently getting the upper hand. The seamen have been sent back to their ships and the workmen to the factories. Artillery swept the streets on March 2 and suppressed all opposition.
Meanwhile it is stated that the revolt is spreading throughout the country. The peasants are resisting the seizure of corn and compulsory wood-hewing for the railways. The President of the Soviet admits the occurrence of riots.—Reuter.
The outbreak of anti-Bolshevist risings in Russia is now admitted by the Moscow wireless, which says: "There is no doubt that the mutiny of General Kozlovski and on the ship Petropavlovsk was prepared by Entente spies, like the former White Guard mutinies. It is clear that the Kronstadt revolt was directed from Paris but it will be rapidly liquidated. The En toute has no doubt spread nets not only at Kronstadt alone, and it is the task of the rearguard to destroy these nets."
M. Krassin, the Russian trade delegate, arrived here to-day.—Reuter.
Anything Better than Lenin.
New York, March 4.
According to a Helsingfors despatch, reports from Moscow received in Finland state that the revolt against the Soviet started at a meeting of metal workers, when Lenin was accused of torturing the workers and ruining Russia.
Lenin is said to have asked the workers if they would prefer the former regime of the Tsars. The workers replied: ''Let them come who may, white, black, or devils. Just you clear out.'"? Lenin is reported thereupon to have issued a proclamation promising a grant of Rls. 10,000,000 to supply the workers with the necessaries of life.
A Stockholm telegram states that the Soviet authorities have put down the Petrograd revolt, after severe fighting.—U. S. Navy Radio through Reuter.
