RUSSIA IN THE DEPTHS.
SITUATION DESPERATE.
FACES WITH PRINT OF DEATH.
LENIN LOSES LEADERSHIP.
Australian and N.Z. Cablo Association. (Reed. 12-10 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, Mar. 3.
Travellers from Petrograd state that the situation is desperate. Human beings, as thin as laths, wander the streets with their faces swollen, a sign of approaching starvation and death.
Lenin has been imprisoned for three days for a speech with a reconciliatory tendency. The Bolsheviks bombarded Narva with 5000 shells, killing many people and emptying the town. The Bolsheviks committed awful outrages at Dorpat. They ordered a large number of leading citizens to a cellar, forced them to strip naked and then shot every one with dumdum bullets.
