Advices from Helsingfors state that the Russian Soviet Government is ruthlessly suppressing a revolt in Moscow. There have been arrests on a wholesale scale, and hundreds of executions daily. The ringleaders, who have not been arrested, continue to issue proclamations urging the people to crush the "Red tyrants." According to a Copenhagen message, Lenin has issued a statement that Moscow and other cities are paralysed by famine. Russia never before faced such a food crisis; even the army is starving. Trotzky announced that owing to fuel and famine riots the movement of troops was difficult. Soldiers were without clothes and short of equipment. Unless these requisites were supplied their efforts would be useless. WRANGEL'S RETREAT. INTO HEART OF CRIMEA. REDS IN HOT PURSUIT. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.
