By Associated Press
London, Nov. 13. — lhc com
plete defeat of Premier Keren
sky and General Korniloff is an
nounced in a Russian communi
cation received here by wireless.
The announcement follows:
"Yesterday after bitter fight
ing near Tsarsko-Selo the revo
lutionary army completely de
feated the counter-revolutionary
forces of Kerensky and Korni
loff. In the name of the revolu
tionary government I order op
position to all enemies of the
revolutionary democracy and
the taking of all measures neces
sary to effect the capture of
Kerensky. I also forbid similar
adventures which are endanger
ing the success of the revolution
and the triumph of the revolu
tionary army.
"(Signed) MOURAYIEFI",
"Commander-in-chief of the
forces acting against Kerensky.
The communication goes on to say
that history will record the night of
November 12.
"The attempt of Kerensky to move
counter revolutionary forces against
► he capital of the revolution has re
■eived a decisive reply," it adds.
"Kerensky is retiring and we are
taking the offensive. The soldiers,
sailors and workmen in Petrograd
know how to Impose and will impose
with arms in their hands their will
and the power of the democracy.
"The Bourgeois has endeavored to
separate the army from the revolu
tion. Kerensky has attempted to
break it by the violence of Cossack
dom. His efforts has failed. The
yorkmen's and peasants' great con
ception of the supremacy of the
democracy has united the ranks of
the army and has steeled its will.
The whole country will see that the
authority of the soldiers and work
men's delegates is not a passing
phrase but is an unchangeable fact,
denoting the supremacy of the work
men, soldiers and peasants."

ITALIAN VICTORY
CERTAIN, BELIEF
OF LLOYD GEORGE
Result Not in Doubt no Matter
What May Happen in
Russian Affairs
UNITY IS AN ESSENTIAL
Austro-German Forces Have
Failed in Strong Attack
on Italian Positions
By Associated Press
With the Italian armies In position
along the Piave from Feltre to the
Adriatic and from the Piave west to
| the Sette Communl, the Austro-Ger
| man drive through Northern Italy
has lost most of its momentum. The
| invaders have failed in strong at
! tacks against Italian positions.
Northeast of Asiago and along the
Piave there have been only artillery
duels.
North of Feltre the Austro-Ger
mans have captured 14,000 Italians,
who apparently were cut off in their
attempt to reach the new defense po
sitions. The Italians, aided by the
j French and British, are prepared to
give battle to the invaders and heavy
lighting is not unexpected.
The Italian reverse has caused
Premiers Lloyd George of Great
Britain and Painleve, of France,
both former ministers of war, to de-!
Clare for solidarity of the allied j
command and efforts on the battle-!
' fields of Europe. The reverses of the
past three years, Premier -loyd i
George said, had made it necessary j
that the leadership be unified and j
that the allies be united. Victory will!
come from unity of action, no mat
ter what may happen to Russia ori
in Russia, the British leader de
cleared.
Measures Taken to Protect
Venice, Famous Art Center
By Associated Press
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Monday, Nov. 12.—A heavy
and continuous bombardment is pro
ceeding along the lower Piave river,
marking the opening strifes of ex
tensive operations on this new line. '
The engagements thus far have !
consisted of episodes at detached |
points, although the shelling extends
almost uninterruptedly for *orty
miles along the lower Piave. The
crash of some enemy heavy guns is
now heard, showing that the Aus
trians and Germans have been able
to bring up a few of these monster
pieces.
Secret is no longer made of the
fact that the Piave is the line of de
fense to which the supreme com
mand has been bending its energies
steadily for the last ton days. The
upper end of this line joins the
Trentino front, making virtually one
unified front, sweeping in a huge
arc from Lake Garda to the mouth
of Piave near Venice.
Precautionary measures to pro
tect Venice continue, lest the enemy
whose long-range guns are not far
off. should attempt to bombard the
famous art center. The palace of the
Doges has been covered with sand
bags and the delicate arched facade
has been shored with heavy timbers.
The Campanile has sandbags for
forty feet around the base. The
Grand canal is filled with gondolas,
which are being used for transpor
tation purposes.
Russian Legation Is
Back of Kerensky
By Associated Press
Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 13.—The]
Russian legation here has sent the|
following message to M. I. Terestch-I
enko, foreign minister in the Keren- j
sky cabinet:
"The members of the Russian le-|
gation in Switzerland assure you that l
we will oppose with the utmost on-1
ergy the activity of the Maximalists
in Petrograd and we declare our-i
selves solidly in accord with the de- j
cision of the personnel of the foreign
office to renounce all co-operation'
with Lenine and Trotzky and their |
adherents."
The message is signed by M. Onou,
the change d'affaires, and his eight
colleagues.
Exodus From Venice;
Paintings Sent to Florence
By Associated Press
Italian Headquarters, Nov. 13.
For several days the gravity of the
situation for Venice has not been
underestimated, and suitable precau
tionary measures have been taken to
protect this great art center. The!
city preserves comparative calm,
while picturesque gondolas, filled
with passengers and goods, take de
parting throngs to the station. The
municipality is affording every as
sistance to those who are leaving 1 and
is allowing two lire daily (normallv
forty cents) to the needy until they
are located elsewhere.
The government is keenly alive to
the situation as regards the artistic
treasures of the city, and military
and naval operations doubtless would
be considered secondary to saving
priceless monuments like the Cam
panile, the Palace of the Doges and
St. Mark's from bombardment. All
the chief paintings of Titian and
Paolo Veronese have been riymoved
to Florence, but scores of great fres
coes cannot be taken away.

By Associated Press
Petrograd, Monday.- Nov. 12. —The
seizure of the Central Telephone
Exchange by the military cadets was
made possible by deceiving the Bol

presented forged credentials from
the Lenlne government. Two Amer

who defended the building. They
were Bessie Beatty, a San Francisco
newspaper woman, and Albert Rheys
Williams, of Boston.
The military cadets were prompted
to undertake the adventure in the
belief that Premier Kerensky was
on hand with his army and was on
the point of retaking the city. They
numbered not more than sixty and

Fifty Girls Would Compete
With Boy Messengers
That girl messengers are an un
qualified success is the verdict pro
nounced by Clark E. Diehl, local
manager of the Postal Telegraph
Company. There are girls on
duty now, ail of whom say they are
greatly pleased with their jobs. The
girls are Marian McAfee, Frances
Davis and Miss Crosby. The first
girl is from Fiarview, the last two
from the city.
One of the noticeable features of
the girl messenger service is that the
girls have stimulated the boys and
men, Mr. Diehl said to-day. The
girls are at their places promptly,
and are prompt in their services, and
the men are following their example.
Mr. Diehl has a long waiting list of
girl applicants already, and states
that he could secure fifty girls if he
wished.

let, him stay back here, for who in
the world would want tango lessons

identified Charles with chronic "ner

thought, would get him off, but the
board had hearts of flint, held him
for service and sent him to asouthern
camp. A couple days ago, the word
has pust reached here, an Army sur
geon's examination of Charles devel
oped that he has "flat feet," caused
possibly by constant tripping of the
light fantastic. And now Charles
is back in his home in Cumberland

the ordinance providing Walnut

ers for payments on paving done in

that property owners along th£
