Stockholm, Nov. ' 21. Reports
brought by the latest travelers to
reachTomea from Petrograd indicate
that a revulsion of feeling is setting
in against the Bolsheviki. Regiments
of soldiers have paraded the streets
of the Russian capital bearing banners

no separate peace," "Down with Pe
trograd's domination by a minority
party tyranny" and "Nicholas regime
was never so tyrannic as the Bolshe
viki regime."
ANTI-FACTION APPEARS.

Bolsheviki socialist coalition lias

Base of British Grand Fleet, Nov. 9.
The recent naval action in the Cat
tegat, where the British sank a Ger
man cruiser and ten armed patrol
ships, is an example of the careful
planning which lies behind every move
on the naval chart. A comparatively
insignificant force of British destroy
ers and light cruisers were the actual
stage performers in the little Skag
gerak drama.
The actual fight began about 7
o'clock in the morning and was over
three hours later. The German fleet
behind its fortifications received the
calls for help, but dared not take a
chance probablv well knowing that
any attempt to send out help would
be confronted with enemies rising out
of the sea front all directions.
The Cattegat is a deep bay lying
between Denmark and Sweden and
leading out through the Skaggerak
into the North Sea near the scene of
the famous Jutland battle. A fog lay
over the entire Cattegat throughout
the action and the British destroyers
picked off their victims one by one and
sank them. The German auxiliary
cruiser Marie, which was leading the
fleet of patrol boats, was a ship of
3,000 tons.
German Captain Wounded.
Its captain, Herr Lauterbach, was
wounded, but reached the Danish
shore safely. His ship, which had four
guns and a crew of 90, was "suddenly
attacked," he said in an interview
with a Danish newspaperman after
ward, "by a fleet of British destroy
ers and the shells fired by them de
scended with such rapidity that the
men on the Marie were almost unable
to use the guns. Only a few shots
were fired before the ship was a mass
of flames."
British and American naval men
who have been on the China station
in years past will remember Captain
Lauterbach. He was known from
Shanghai to Vladivostok as "Baron
Munchausen," and is said to have
been the most unpopular German
naval officer in the far east. His un
popularity extended even to his own
men, and in the Cattegat battle the
first remark made by a German blue
jacket rescued from the sea was a
fervently expressed hope that the
British had not made the mistake of
rescuing his captain.
Lauterbach's naval reputation prob
ably will suffer somewhat from the
Cattegat battle. His report that he
fired his guns as long as possible is
denied by his own men, who declared
that Lauterbach was "seized with
funk" as soon as the enemy appeared,
and that not a single shot was fired
from the Marie's guns.
Was About to Make Raid.
Presumably the Marie was making
its way toward the trade route be
tween Norway and Scotland, in hopes
of repeating the successful German
attack on the British convoy on
October 17. The Brjtish commander
concentrated his fire first of all on
the Marie, and then detached his fast
est vessels to round up the escorting
patrol vessels. This was thoroughly
done after a hunt lasting nearly three
hours. This action, it should be re
membered, occurred in waters which
the Germans regard as practically one
of their "inland seas" The Cattegat
is the gateway to the Baltic. The
scene of the fight is 500 miles from
tlie nearest, British coast, but less than
200 miles from Kiel.
An interesting comparison might
be made between this clean victory
by the British destroyers and the
tip-and-run raid by the German light
cruisers on a British convoy on Oc
tober 17.
The Germans sent out two of their
fastest cruisers in the darkness,
struck their blow in nervous haste
in the early morning hours, not even
pausing to rescue a single life of
hundreds of combatants and non
combatants, then ran away north
ward to spend the remaining hours
of daylight in hiding, and when
night fell, dashed down the Nor
wegian coast and thus returned
home without being intercepted.
British Rescue 64.
On the occasion of the British vic
tory the fight occurred not in the
North Sea, but on Germany's door
step; not at night but in daylight; not
hurriedly or nervously, for 64 pris
oners were taken, drowning men
rescued from the water, thus provid
ing another vivid contrast between
German and British methods of war
fare. Moreover, no noncombatant lives
were lost or endangered in the Brit
ish action, whereas the Germans
ruthlessly and unnecessarily sacri
ficed scores of innocent neutrals.

Allies Soon Will Become
Masters of Air Conflicts
Rome, Nov. 21. Gabriele d'Annun
zio writes to a friend that he is work
ing indefatigably with his companion
airmen of the Italian army in a most
risky undertaking, the results of
which cannot be revealed. In the
letter he says:
"Like Antaeus, every time the en
tente falls it rises again with redou
bled vigor, because it represents in
vincible right. Thus the Italian re
verse is now causing a revival of the
energies of the allies, which will lead
to ultimate victory. Unlike Antaeus,
who was .rushed by Hercules when
he was cut off from contact with
Mother Earth, the airmen will be the
salvation of the present war in their
contact with and command of the all
pervading, atmosphere.
"Soon, with the assistance of
America, we will be absolute masters
of the air."
