Blood and Iron Policy to Save Russia in Petrograd Turmoil
Reports from Petrograd describe renewed disorder despite Kerensky control. Gunfire broke out along the Neva docks, with troops repelling attackers as machine guns silenced cross-river fire. Authorities began disarming workers and disaffected soldiers, while a separate incident near the People's Palace led to two soldiers wounded and two attackers lynched. Telegrams to Kerensky warn of widespread unrest in southwestern regions and military and civilian dissension, with stern measures planned to quell it. A lunch counter in Nome will offer a 50 cent dinner starting Monday.
