HEAR GERMAN. ATTACK
* f \ ON KRONSTADT'
KRONSTADT. Finland. April 26 —
Kronstadt is feverishly preparing to
repel an expected German naval at
tack when the Gulf of Finland is
free of ice.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press reached the famous island fast
ness by traveling over the vast waste
which separates it from the mainland
and found the garrison working nb.ht
and day in anticipation of the long
predicted assault.
The fortress is entirely controlled
by a council elected by the troops,
which is unanimously resolved to de
fend Russian freedom and territory
to the last.
The council is equally resolute
against fighting for the annexation of
foreign territory. One member of the
council said that as long as Germany
was unwilling to abandon its plans of
annexation there was nothing to do
but fight. • ^
