Show MAY NOT ADVANCE ON PETROGRAD LONDON', Aug-. 25. The reported impending im-pending attempt to take Petrofrrad from the Bolshevik! Is not likely to materialize, according to tho Paily Mail's Helsingfura correspondent. Such an operation, ho poinfc out, must he hy land, and the only available forces consist of Finns, Russians Rus-sians and Esthonians. It is very doubtful, doubt-ful, however, in the opinion of the correspondent, cor-respondent, if Finland's help could be obtained. The Ksthonians are unwillinfr to nd-vance nd-vance unless the allies formally recognize recog-nize her independence, and anti-Bolshevik Russians are probably unable alone to take the capital before winter, notwithstanding not-withstanding supplies furnished by the allies. It Is Improbable that General Denlklne would be able to take Moscow or Petrofrrad Petro-frrad without co-ordination on the northern north-ern front. A great Bolshevik offensive is under preparation on tho Pskov front. |
