COPENHAGEN, Nov. 28-—Terrible
slaughter resulted from the fighting
betwéen the Bolsheviki forces and
loyal troops at Kiev and Moscow, it
was sta{ed in dispatches received here
today. :
About 200 persons were killed at
Moscow, including nearly 150 army
officers, it was reported, while twice
that number were slain at Kiev. s

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—That the
Lenine Government in Russia will |
conclude a separate peace with Ger
many is belleved now to be a matter
of days only. But afficials here to
day are in receipt of information in
dicatimg that such a peace will not
be accepted by the Russian people
and that the army as a whole will
stand out against desertion of Rus
sia's allies.
Dispatches from Ambassador Fran
cis at Petrograd detailing the situa
tion there have been received, but
have not been made public. It is un*
derstood he has reported the result
of the varlous conferences which
have been held betwen the Entente
diplomats in Petrograd.
It has been learned that a definite
program has been arranged which
calls for insistence that the exlsting,
government = recognize the treaty
pledges of Russia and for a general
withdrawal should these pledges be
violated and a separate peace con-'
summated.
The demand by the Bolsheviki
Foreign Minister, Leon Trotzky, that |
the Russians, Chichirin and Petrorfl
held prisoners in England, be at once
released and sent back to Russia,
which was coupled by the threat
that if this is not done British sub
jects in Russia will be arrested, is
another serious complication, offi-|
cials said today. They declared thatl
this emphasizes the anti-Entente
sympathies of the Bolsheviki faction.
It is not believed that United States
citizens or interests are in any dan
ger at this time, as the Bolsheviki
leaders still hope that they will be
furnished money and supplies de
spite the plain warning that Lieu
tenant Colonel William V. Judson, of
the military mission, has given out
that all aid will be withdrawn if ne
gotiations with Germany are con
tinued

Viscount Ishii and Colleagues Ar
rive at Home With Friendly
Message,
(By an International News Service
Staff Correspondent.)
TOKIO, Nov. 28.—Enthusiastic
praise for‘the reception given them in
America was voiced by members of
the Japanese mission, headed by Vis
count Ishii, which has just arrived
home.
“Secretary Lansing's note will be
graven deep in the history of Japan,”
said Viscount Ishii.
An interesting outcome of the mis
sion’s visit was the presence in Hono
lulu harbor of the Japanese cruiser
Tokiwa when the mission arrived
there from San Francisco. It had
been sent from Yokohama at the re
quest of the American Government to
replace and release an American
cruiser for service in the war zone.
The statement to which Viscount
Ishii referred was one relating to the
future attitude of Japan and the
United States toward China.

Missing Woman and
Little Girl Believed
To Be Still in City
Although no further clew had
been found Wednesday as to the
whereabouts of Mrs. H. W. Finch,
of Kirkwood, and her 2-year-old
girl, who disappeared Saturday
and at first were thought to have
met death in the Chattahoochee
River, county police were of the
opinion that the missing mother
and child are in or near Atlanta
alive and well.
Efforts were being made Wed
nesday tor trace Mrs. Finch and
the baby girl from the river, fol
‘lowing the information of Tues
day that a bareheaded woman,
answering the description of Mrs.
Finch, and carrying a little girl in
her arms, had approached a Cobb
County fruit tree agent near Bol
ton and inquired the “best way
back to Atlanta.” It was believed
by the police that this woman
was Mrs. Finch, and that she
boarded a river trolley car for the
city at the 6-cent fare limit at
Fisher avenue.
Officers also sought to learn
whether a woman and child of the
description of the missing pair
had purchased a railroad ticket
out of the city. It was the pre
valling belief, however, that they
are still here.

London Believes Germany's Plan
to Crush Italy Have Proved
Failure.
(By International News Service.)
ROME, Nov. 28.—Important gains
hgve been made by the Italians be
tween the Brenta and Piave Valleys
in Northern Italy, said a dispatch
from Italian headquarters today.
Hakt of the Brenta Valley the Ital
'xa.ns made a number of counter at
tacks, Inflicting several losses upon
the Germans.
The Italian lines in that mountain
district have been extended.
v
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Nov. /28.—Germany’s
great plan to crush Italy as Serbia
and Roumam‘s, were coOnquered has
ended In failure, according to belief
expressed in military and diplomatic
circles today.
However, the end of the struggle
in northern Italy is not yet in sight
and the Germans and Austro-Hunga
rians can be counted upon to make
even mightier efforts than they have
up to date to break through the Ital
jan lines on the Piave Rivo‘ and on
the Asiago plateau.
Both sides are preparing for a
greater struggle. Reinforcements of
men and guns are pouring across the
Austrian frontier into Italy to
strengthen the invading hordes, while
the Alpine roads leading down from
France into Italy are choked with
masses of French and British veter
ans, trains of supply wagons and long
lines of artillery,
An oversight in two directions has
helped to frustrate the carefully laid
plans of the German general staff.
First, they failed to count upon the
true fighting spirit of the Italian sol
diers: second, they failed to take into
consideration the possibility of quick
ald being given to the Itallans by
the British and French.
Even should the Italians and their
French and Britigh allies fall back to
another line, the defenses of which
are already being prepared, it is con
fidently beiieved that the Germans
will be unable to advance further than
the Venetian plain and a line lying
from Lake Garda througk the moun
tains to Verona. Such a retirement
by the Italians is not yet Indicated,
but even if it is made the Austro-
German armies, for all their sacrifices,
would dominate only the extreme
northeastern corner of Italy.
The magnitude of the preparations
that are being made on both sides for
a continuation of the struggle s
shown by the closing of the Austro-
German frontier and the Franco-Ital
fan frontler. These steps have been
made to cloak the amount of rein
forcements that are being sent into
the arena of action in northern
Italy.
Dispatches from Rome today said
that the struggle between the Plave
and Brenta valleys is continuing with
the utmost fury. Powerful Austro-
German attacks were made In the
Brenta valley, but all have been re-*
pulsed with severe losses. In inter
vals of the Teuton assaults the Ital
lans are counter attacking all along
the line.

‘ NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Under
~ the protection of their heavy
| guns, the British have now begun
to mass their attacks on the
Cambrai front against the re
; maining bulwarks of the German
base, still in the hands of the en
emy. These are chiefly the north
erly glopes of the rising ground of
Bourlon wood that run down into
' the village of Bourlon; the village
of Fontaine de Notre Dame, east
| of Bourlon, and the neighboring
‘ Lafolie wood and the German po
~ sitions to the west of Bourlon
~ along the Little Mirondelle River
southeast of the important pivotal
support point of Queant.
The latest British attacks were
suceessful in driving the Germans
from a portion of Fontaine de
Notre Dame village. A stubborn
fight occurred in the streets of the
little town, but at latest reports
the British have worked their way
through its northwestern por
tion. The German position in La
Folie wood, to the southeast, is
a menace against the British hold
on Fontalne and will need to be
cleaned out.
The British broke through the
German line on tne southern edge
of Bourlon village and succeded
in getting into the hamlet and
bringing back some English de
tachments which had been sur
rounded. They were unable, how
- ever, to hold any ground within
the village itself, All German
counter attacks against the Brit
ish positions on the high ground
of Bourlon wood were summarily
driven off. British heavy artil
lery is hammering the German
positions in the Queant area.
In Flanders, in the Ypres re
gion, the great artillery duel that
has been going on for more than
a week is still in progress. The
Germana are directing their fire
against the British positions on
the Passchendaele ridge, particu
larly north and northeast of the
village of Passchendaele. No in
fantry activity has developed on
the front held by the French and
the ‘Belgians. To the British left
in Flanders there also has been
great artillery activity.
On the Italian front the Aus
tro-German forces on the north
ern battle line, between the Piave
and the Brenta rivers, continue |
their desperately stubborn at- |
tempts to breach the defenses on
the mountain heights. Once more
these heavy massed attacks were
delivered with great spirit and
succeeded in driving back the in
vaders and capturing prisoners.
