L°ndoo, Nov. 14.—Kerensky has macle a victorious entry into Petrograd and the Bolsheviki uprising is completely do' ^ feated. according to advices from Haparanda today. * NOTE—Haparanda is on the Swedish-Flnnish frontier. Amsterdam, Nov. 14.—News fr°m German sources today state that the Bolsheviki are still in control of Petrograd. While the Italians continue to hold tenaciously to most of U.e new line along the Piave river from the Adriatic Sea to the region of Feltre and through tthe northern hills westward from Feltre to Lake Garda, they again have been compelled to give ground in both sectors to the Teutonic allied armies. Out of the mass of contradictory statements regarding the situation in Russia there is still doubt whether the Bolch- eviki forces are in control of Petrograd. A wireless dispatch received in London announced the complete defeat of the fol lowers of Premier Kerensky and Gen. Korniloff Monday- fighting near Tsarskoe-Selo. . The recalcitrants were declar- 1 to be maintaining the upper hand against thd military ca- i and other adherents of the Kerensky regime. Dispat- s from Denmark assert that advices there are to the effect t the Bolshavild soldiers and sailors in Petrograd are com ing all kinds of excesses and that the populace are terror- icken. In Palestine the Turks who have been pushed back on merous sectors by the British forces under Gen Allenbv, ’ are preparing defensive -jfcwitions twenty miles south- t of Jerusalem, near Hebron. The British, however, are r their mounted troops, and again have made some pro- ■ toward El Tine. Scottish infantry also has attacked the enemy right flank successfully and captured a number of machine guns. Gls masks are being worn by the American troops in the trenches in France, as a result of the Germans using gas shells against them. Both the Americans and Germans are r considerable quantities of shrapnel against opposing ches f • Italians and the Austro-German armies are in bat- r along the Piave river from the hiTly region iVi the ti to the Adriatic Sea—the Italians on the western side I the enemy along the eastern bank.

Reinforcements were sent here from Marfa, Tfxra, today following the threat of the Villa bandit* who captured Ojinaga io raid this place. Riding to the ford, Villistas shouted across the river that they would.sweep the Big Bend country of Fe deral troopB and then capture Juarez. The Villistas seem to be plentifully supplied with ammunition. It is believed they were furnished by German agents. Gen.

Score of executions, both IviHans and soldiers, are reported to have taken at Ojina- k. this morning Note—The Mexican Federal troops gave up Ojinaga to the Villistas last night and came across to the Ameri a aide, where they surrendered their arm?.
