MARCHING ON MOSCOW.
STARVING RUSSIAN PEASANTS. REPORTED SLAUGHTER OF WOMEN. (Received 8.30 p.m.) London, July 27. —The “Morning Post’s” correspondent reports that hordes of starving Russian peasants are marching on Moscow, destroying everything en route. They entirely devastated the town of Tamboff, 300 miles south-east of Moscow, overwhelming the Red Army sent to stop them. The peasants have killed and eaten the horses of the Bolshevik cavalry, fire brigades, and municipal services. The Red troops refused to shoot them. After the hunger demonstration strikes 20,618 (?) women were shot in Petrograd. The “Daily Express’s” Berlin correspondent states that the Soviets have proclaimed a state of siege in Petrograd and Moscow. A Russian paper in Berlin reports that Trotsky has been arrested. —(A. and N.Z.)
