In Southern Russia General Denikin with his patriot volunteers still

continues the victorious advance which he began in May. He has freed the Donets coal and iron fields from Bolshevik terrorism, and is approaching Kharkoff on his left and Astrakhan on his right. The Bolsheviks have begun to evacuate the Crimea. In Eastern Russia, between the Volga and the Urals, Admiral Koltchak is retiring before the enemy, but the situation there will doubtless be relieved by General Denikin's successes. In Northern Russia the native forces, supported by the Allies, have made some slight progress, but Kronstadt is still in Bolshevik hands.
