On Tuesday, it is reported, the Poles were nearing Grodno,
a hundred and forty miles north-east of Warsaw. They had captured 70,000 Bolsheviks, with immense supplies of war material, while 30,000 Bolsheviks had crossed into East Prussia.
The Bolshevik army retreating from the Vistula north-west of Warsaw was said to be surrounded. Further south, the invaders were retirfng in haste from East Galicia. These Bob shevik reverses in Poland appear to have stimulated the anti- Bolshevik movement in Southern Russia. General Wrangel is not only co-operating with the Ukrainians, but has also been joined by the Cossacks between the Sea of Azov and the Caspian. The Bolsheviks are thus again threatened with the loss of the eastern Black Sea ports and of the Caucasus railway. If it be true that General Wrangel's land policy has won him the support of the peasants, he may achieve more permanent succeed in this region than General Denikin had.
