NEWS VIA BERLIN
DIRECT SWEDISH CABLE
SEVERED.
(PUBLISHED IN THE HUBS.)
LONDON, 15th February.
The latest Bolshevik arrivals from Russia ridicule the peace reports. They declare that the Ukraine Rada is thoroughly impotent. The Soviets now control all the big towns of the Ukraine, and the Bclsheviks, while demobilising the regulars, will organise extensive forces for guerrilla warfare in the event of the Austro-Germans attempting hostilities. Kieff and Petrograd will henceforth act conjointly, corresponding while treating. Germany is anxious to prevent Russian news reaching the outside world and thence percolating the Central Empires. The Germans have severed the direct cable between Petrograd and Sweden, and practically all Russian news is now edited in Berlin.
