EVER

ADMISSION FROM LONDON,

NO IDLERS TOLERATED

'LONDON, Nov. S

The latest authentic reports from Russia discounts the stories of a coun-ter-revolution, which are greatly exag gcrated.

Madame Nobot, the widow of a Moscow banker, included in the latest batch of prisoners returned to France, says that Trotsky's discipline is likely to. prevent .the collapse of Bolshevism. The army is unpopular and hated, but the peasants' indifference and fatalism and the cringing gervility of the town populations prevent any large scale of opposition developing. Everyone is compelled to keep a woTk boo^c'. showing the hours laboured. If insufficient, people are compelled to work in scavenging S>and woodehopping gangs, or go foodless.
