RUSSIAN CRISIS.

MARSHALLING OF FORCES. ANTI-SEMITIC FEELING. (BT CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION— COPXRIGHT.) (AUSTBALIAJt AND U.S. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 14th, 10.45 p.m.) LONDON, November 13. The "Daily Chronicle's" Paris correspondent says that a most serious crisis has arisen in Moscow. The Kremlin chiefs are marshalling forces to cope with the difficulties. All organisations of the Communist Party received orders from the Central Committee to take stern action against the opposition. Illegal gatherings must be dispersed forcibly. Already scores of Trotskyites are turned out of the Communist Party. It is expected that arrests and executions will follow. The officials of the Communist Party consider that they aro bound to resort to a policy of terrorism even against former chiefs. Popular alarm is so prevalent that there is general talk of Civil "War. An anti-Semitic feeling is also rising, and marked hostility is shown towards foreigners. Long lines of people are waiting outside the food shops. The ferment is increasing, and there is little faith in the ability of the present regime.
