Meanwhile General Denikin has had a series of successes of

great importance. The Bolsheviks admit that they have been driven out of the important towns of Kherson and Niko- laieff. It will be remembered that early this year the capture of these places by the Bolsheviks was described as a decisive stroke. The Bolsheviks have also been driven back to the line of the Btig by the volunteer cavalry. Further to the north on the Dnieper General Denikin is at Cherkassy, less than a hundred miles south-east of Kieff, the capital of the Ukraine. At Cherkassy the Dnieper is crossed by the only railway from Central Russia to Odessa which remains to the Bolsheviks. It is evident, therefore, that the Bolsheviks must very soon evacuate Odessa, though the reports that their have already done so are unconfirmed.
